We previously reported on Jazz being an exclusive downloadable character for those who preorder the game from Best Buy and Shockwave being the same for those who preorder from Gamestop. Now it appears that Australian fans are getting the best of both worlds; those who preorder the game from EB Games' Australian website will be able to download both characters!

You can see the preorder page here.

Thanks go to Unlucky Owl for alerting us to the offer.

Has anyone heard anything about the Wii verison and different characters? Or do I have to bust out the Visa and by a PS3?

I'm pretty sure they have the same characters, the only difference is Wii won't have online play but they will have exclusive missions about the history of Cybertron. Also I think Australia is getting both characters is because they don't have Best Buy there.

Also forgot to mention the Wii version is called Transformers Cybertron Adventures, rather than War for Cybertron. Don't ask because I have no clue why.

Well going by Gamestop's website back when Shockwave was announced, the Wii has no extra characters.

I am not sure if Wii has and exclusive characters, but hopefully I can still play as jazz or Shockwave.

You might want to specify that this is only in Australia. We have an EB games here in Ohio, and I know there are still some in the US, and I was excited at first, then I read the article and saw it was only Australia.

99.9% of the time the DLC offered as pre-order bonuses shows up later on as purchasable DLC..Normally the price ranges from .99 to 1.49 or whatever the 360 points equivelant is..

Like what? I can't think of too many games that have done that. I know some games I wished would do it, but I can't think of any who have done it.
