From what I can tell this looks like the same thing they did with Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, in that different stores had specific character codes in them that allowed you to unlock said character early. However it was just a button input code that could be used by anyone, so once posted online anyone could unlock the characters from the other store releases. That was also an Activision release I believe, so I think they're doing the same thing here. So in the end I think everyone will be happy and have access to which ever character they would prefer.

erm you do realise the game doesnt differ from store to stre? its just a code which unlocks a certain character so within a day all the codes will be put online so you can just unlock them anyways?

Games companies dont make 5 different versions of the game just put a different slip of paper in different batches for unlocks.

No need to get bent out of shape

Hmmm...

Unfortunately, not all of the MUA2 exclusive characterswere unlocked the same way...

As I recall, although Hulk, for example, merely required a packed in code or the fulfillment of certain in-game objectives (that's right, you didn't actually need the code to unlock him), Juggernaut pretty much necessitated actually preordering from Gamestop because you had to register your game and they had limited 'supplies'.

So the big question, to my mind, is which, if any, of the characters will require this sort of registration?

I will give it a couple of weeks. If all the characters are not in the game I won't buy of them. These game cost too much not to have every possible thing the developers can put in them.

I dunno how Best Buy is, but i know with Gamestop, the $5 you put down on the pre-order goes towards the purchase of the game when it comes out.

I was wondering has anyone gone to Best Buy to pre-order this game from them? I went in the other day and they told me they didn't have a pre-order for it yet even though when I type in my zip code and there is the store next to me I went to.

I don't think all places will have the pre-orders up yet. In fact, you might only be able to set up a preorder for this game only through websites right now. Not sure though as I don't work at any of these places, but I DO know that most places have stock items listed on their websites long before they have them available. So maybe the preorders won't be up until the middle of May. Again though, I can't really be sure cause I don't really know, just speculating and assuming and guessing and other words that mean I know nothing.
