Well it seems that the DLC isn't an exclusive like I had originally thought. Those who pre-order from Gamestop will receive a code to redeem the DLC for free when it is released while others will have to pay 720MSP/$8.99 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 respectably.  Original Post: It seems like the twin we all love (or hate) will be receiving an exclusive piece of DLC as a pre-order bonus. Pre-ordering from Gamestop will not only net you the Samurai Weapon Pack but it will also give you access the Vergil's Downfall DLC. If you have no plans on getting it from Gamestop then expect to wait awhile before you can play it. The game is out January 15th. Now remember I mentioned a demo for the game, well I found an article (I think on x360a.org) that stated it would drop on November 20th. Now there's no confirmation but keep an eye out, the 20th is a week away.

A few days ago rumors of a standalone Hitman title started spreading around the internet. Today Square Enix confirmed these rumors by announcing 'Hitman: Sniper Challenge'. When you pre-order Hitman: Absolution at Gamestop (yes for now it's a Gamestop exclusive) you'll be awarded Sniper Challenge as a bonus. This goes into effect next Tuesday, May 15th. Hitman: Sniper Challenge will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with a Steam version coming on August 1st. On another bit of news from Square, Hitman: Absolution gets a release date and will be available on November 20th. Brought to you by Joystiq

With Call of Duty Black Ops II being revealed a few hours ago, Gamestop isn't wasting any time with offering pre-order incentives. If you pre-order the game now you'll gain access to Modern Warfare 3 perks. In addition, if you pre-order before June 30th you can get an instantly redeemable MW 3 prestige token, the catch you have to be a PowerUp rewards member. Oh I forgot to mention that you also get a poster. GameStop has plans to announced additional pre-order bonuses and depending on when you pre-order you can get all of them or just some of the bonuses. [via  GameInformer ]
