Preorder Culture

I’d love an instant unlock for the rest of us, though. Maybe if we ask REAAAAALLLY nice?

For the DLC characters? I’d assume the challenges wouldn’t be too difficult

I preordered at gamestop (I know some people hate them, but mine treats me really well and I’ve become friends with manager) and am considering shifting it to ps store credit so I can get digital deluxe. I want that figure, but the cheaper season pass and in game stuff is tempting.

GBX why don’t you have a collector’s edition for me :cry:

No, to use at launch.

Oh, well, I’m sure they could probably maybe work something out. Personally I have no issue ranking up to unlock Papa Shotgun again. At least in the full release it’ll be easier to unlock Caldarius

Yeah, it would be cool, but I’m not holding my breath or anything. If they don’t, I will probably work on unlocking Reyna’s legendary gear right away.

I’m 90% sure you can preorder DDe at Gamestop.

I’ll have to check, thatd be easier (and then I get my figure still…I hope)

Each GameStop store, like many other chains, is as good (or bad) as the individual employees that work there. I used to be a store manager and most everyone who says they hate the company would have loved my store, I assure you.

Very true. I in fact have TWO epic gamestores I go to. The one farther away is at the mall, but the manager is FINE.

I don’t pre-order unless I can try a good beta or I know for certain that I will love the game like X-Com 2. The beta sold me on this game. I didn’t even really check what the pre-order bonuses are for it.

For some games the pre-order bonuses matter more than for other games.

The pre-order bonus for the game is five golden skins for Rath, Reyna, Marquis, Montana and Thorn along with an exclusive title; if you pre-ordered at GameStop/EB Games you get one of five figurines

I’m getting a Battleborn hat with my preorder.

What!? That’s awesome!! I am pretty jelly right now…

I was debating whether to preorder, but the beta sold me, so here I am, waiting on the DD version :laughing:

I generally only preorder stuff I would have bought anyway (like the two Borderlands sequels) or if I was turned around by a demo or beta (Battlefield 3 betrayed me, however). Battleborn is, thankfully, both.

Man, I hope it comes with a sticker on the bill so I can leave it on and let all the other bogan Battleborn know how ballin’ I am. :wink:

Preordered my copy for PS4 from eb games Australia months ago (when it was meant to be released in February - wanted it for my birthday, sigh).

Happy to get the golden skins, and a figure with my preorder… It says while stocks last, so will have to make sure I can get in to collect my copy and secure my figure, before everyone else does.

The figure however, is pretty small… The box is very oversized compared to what’s actually inside. See this guys YouTube video:

The JB HIFI hat is cool, but I don’t sport hats (plus, can see this option being more popular with males than females)… It didn’t sell me… So I went with eb games (GameStop overseas).

I also generally preorder games I’m interested in regardless, because I like to support the companies that make them (generally particular franchises), and other people’s reviews of games I tend to avoid or not let sway my own opinion before play…
Generally I enjoy a game more if i go at it on my own judgement (avoid reviews, and other peoples nit picking)…
Battleborn is the first beta I’ve ever played, otherwise I just go full in (blind) when a game is released and hope I made the right decision (haven’t been disappointed yet…)…
Also I have an eb games membership card (eb world member) so I get bonuses such as discounts, events, etc, the more I make purchases/the higher my membership level, through them.
