Super Street Fighter 4: Worst pre-order Bonus Ever

This video more or less speaks for itself.

Speaking of pre-order bonuses, when was the last time you turned up to grab a game on release day and found it was sold out? It’s not exactly a massive problem, right? The videogame industry is growing year on year, and retail chains are smart enough to order exactly one metric fucktonne (MFt) of every new release to ensure every braying customer desperate to fork over their hard earned cashola gets a chance to do so.

Really, there’s no need to pre-order games, apart from the awesome pre-order bonuses. Statues, art books, the little accessories that give you a warm shiver — they’re worth the extra effort, and it’s why people still pre-order. For awesome stuff.

Not bits of linen with faces printed on.

EDIT: Also, those guys should clean up their apartment. Popcorn and old takeaway flyin’ all over the shop. Also also, why aren’t they playing Street Fighter? They just got the game right?!

    I think it’s a bit of a shame that a lot of bonuses are becoming digital downloads. Ever limited edition should come with a cloth map.

    Yes!! Maps are the best.

    Some games used to come with posters in the sleeve, regardless of pre-orderage, that was truly ace.

    I for one think this is a great idea -I can’t wait to get hold of a HALO tea towel…
