Gamestop GTA pre-order provides in-game rewards

by David Hinkle { Dec 17th 2008 at 4:41PM }

For those of you that decide to go the way of Gamestop for your copy of GTA: Chinatown Wars, know that a pre-order will net you some perks starting out in the game. For one, you're gifted with $10,000 in cash. That'll come in handy, too, because you'll also be starting the game with every weapon unlocked. No better way to spend that 10K than towards an AK, right?

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars releases to North America on March 17th, 2009.

I do not like this.

Game content (cheats, perks, levels, etc.) shouldn't be made available from certain stores like this. It should be available to everyone from everywhere - or not at all.

It's not content exclusive to Gamestop customers, it's basically a cheat code. Like eugaet said, it's likely a code which you'll be able to find on the internet within hours of release if not sooner.

It'll probably be something similar to the GH:WT full tracklist unlock code, exclusively for those who preordered it from GS. Buy it somewhere else, then wait for the code to be posted on the internet.

Making the game easier is kind of a crappy perk.

How about, y'know, something good?

That's nice for people who happen to do their pre-orders there, I guess. But the fun of GTA is earning your money the old-fashioned way--killing sprees! And maybe some missions, if there's time.

Lol when started reading I got hyped because 10000 real life money, then I saw it was in game money, this game better be awesome, i played the gba version when I was 12 and it was crap

Wait, what gba version?

There was a GBA GTA game a few years back, in the old style top down format, � la GTA1,2 and London. Wasn't all that good from what I played of it, but I don't really go for GTA all that much anyway.
