I rarely if ever pre-order games, but it seems like pre-orders generally come with some bonus content. A free piece of DLC, or a beta-key to the company's next game, or maybe even a soundtrack if you're particularly lucky. I haven't seen anything like that for FFXIII. The best I've seen is a free 30 page booklet of "excerpts from the official strategy guide," which is little more than an advertising brochure. I suppose the lack of gimmicks is because retailers know full well that the game will sell itself, but still, it'd be nice to get SOMETHING. Then again, maybe I just have an exaggerated sense of entitlement.
Anyway, did you get anything when you preordered? If so, where did you do your preorderin'? If anyone else managed to snag a preorder bonus, feel free to chime in.

I didn't get anything besides that same little booklet that you did. But then as you said, with an FF game, I didn't really expect to get anything. Its not like they can give me a multiplayer map or some such. And then, and this is just me, but FF memorbelia doesn't do it for me. I mean, unless they give me a real size, fully functional gunblade...I won't care.
I reserved everything at GameStop. Normally a store I avoid, but its the same price everywhere....

Every FF game since 7 has been relentlessly linear. Nothing new there. *NM*

I was sad to hear that they made this one even more linear than past games.

what's so horrible about a linear game?

Why shouldn't it be played on the xbox?

To be fair, it might have come out sooner if they hadn't shifted to multiplatform

Since when has Final Fantasy been a PlayStation exclusive? It never has been.

The reason I un-announced the Mass Effect thread was to make ready for a FFXIII one.

Eh. I think it'll be great, but my enthusiasm for the genre is pretty much non-existent these days.

To say that I'm excited about it would be an understatement....

Speaking of reserving the game, did you get any bonus with your pre-order?
