Preorder Culture

Battleborn Open Beta Open Beta General Discussion/Feedback
#42

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.

A bit off topic but: GhostRobo wears way too much hair product. Just sayin’ … :dukefp::dukegoof::dukefp:

I’ve decided to get the Digital Deluxe version instead. I wants the cyber skins.

Nice! Always handy to have some options for change right off the bat…
It’s a tough decision with all the different options these days, which preorder to go with…
i wonder if anyone will go for/sport the hat/cap… I’d be interested to see what the final design is (as the current picture says it may change)…
If I see anyone wearing one, at least I’ll have an idea who in my local area might be playing it… And I for one, don’t mind representing my geek/gamer culture through my outfits!

Btw, if anyone wants the digital and is willing to pay for the figures, the 2K web store has sets for thirty bucks.

Thanks for the heads up!.. If I don’t get the figure I want with my preorder, I might just throw some money their way.

Firstly, the amount of Aussie representation in this thread is awesome.

Secondly, if someone winds up with a burning desire to rid themselves of one of those Montana figurines, I would be willing to help lift that burden out of the goodness of my kind and giving heart. :innocent:

^agreed!

I had my concerns with what I played in the beta and kind of talked myself out of buying it at all. The day after the beta ended I realised how much I missed playing this game and I still can’t even explain why I enjoyed it so much. So yeah, I’ve gone and pre ordered the digital deluxe version from the PS store. I’m going to rely on the game being successful enough that hats/figurines and all sorts of merchandise will be everywhere soon enough
