    Whatever version you pre-order (based on the display looks like it only applies to PS3 and XB360) would give you a "rave card" with the downloadable characters as a one time use code.

    havent seen any pre-order bonus' that work for multi-platform. If you pre-ordered both, you'd get two seperate "rave cards" one for the 360 version, the other for the PS3 version.

    btw . . . as far as collectors editions go . . .

    yes, it does happen that occassionally a game will announce a collectors edition midway through pre-orders. (world of warcraft for example)

    if you already pre-ordered a regular edition you could put down any additional amount (remember more then 60 is a 10 dollar deposit) and roll your pre-order from the regular to collectors.

    Hope this helps!

    I hate how people can get extra content for preordering and stuff. I'm not mad about skins, but when people who preorder get special OP weapons, like in COD5, that makes me mad.

    It is generally for only the one you preordered on, but sometimes these codes are exclusive to one system.

    The thing that bugs me is when they have more than one "item" or whatever, that you can only get from one place. Specificaly Champions online, great game I'm looking foward to, but Its got like a dozen different ingame items all on seperate pre-orders. So long as bioshock only has this ONE thing I love it.

    Well I preordered my copy about a month ago... they give you this when you go to buy the game right? Oh I hope so, I'd hate to be left out for eager intentions!

    Dont Give 2k Any Ideas Cause That Would Be Really Frustrating Lol
    If They Do This Offer In Europe (Probably at GAME Or Maybe Play.com?) Then Ill Def Preorder Cause Blanche The Actress Looks Great Not Bothered Bout The Fisherman Tho

    I just put up a better image of the characters on the Cult of Rapture for you kids. Also, I want you to know that the European pre-order programs (and more info on MP characters) is coming, so stick around for me to tell you more about that later.

    I definately want to pre-order but want to wait for the Collector's Edition (if there is one) Hoping it will be avaliable for pre-order as well as the standard edition. If its going to be coming out later then i dont know if i will just order the standard then sell it on to replace with collector's or just wait for CE to come out.. Dont know where to pre-order from either, suppose different places might offer different stuff as a pre-order bonus like RE5 came with a limited art cell for pre-order that was exclusive to GameStop. No GameStop's here so guess either GAME if they do Bioshock 2 (assume they will) or possibly Play.com or something like that

    So this offer is a GameStop exclusive for pre-orders? There arent any near here =(

    Would this be GameStop that also translates into the Canadian EBGames? We don't have GameStop's where I am at all.

    EDIT: never mind, I just read the article...

    gamestop and eb games are the same. Gamestop bought out EB Games a few yaers ago, so they're the same company now, even though the stores might not have changed the name over to gamestop.

    Aaah, see, I did not know this fact. We've never had GameStop's (at least here). Man, now I must resist the urge to pre-order this.

    Blanche needs to reduce the length of her skirt back to her knees. How is she supposed to run/fight with something that can potentially impede/restrict her movement?! And is she wearing stilettos?! I know women have been trained to run in those things... but in a time of war? No way...

    Now that the pre-orer bonus has been announced on the main site I can't wait to pre-order the game! I would rather pre order a special edition ( if it's even being made) If a special edition is announced would there be a way to transfer my money to that version? And of course still get the two characters

    Also I was wondering is it a usual thing for games without release dates to already be availiable for pre-order? Is this maybe a sign that the game is close to getting a official release date??

    This is a pre-order only bonus, so you'll definitely have to do that ahead of time!

    If you pre-order, you can count on getting these two citizens.

    Same here,i really want to pre-order,but at the same time i want to wait to see if any info on a possible limited edition comes out.If anything i will probably give in and just go reserve it and then upgrade in the future.

    Right now i'm not so much interested in the fisherman,i'm interested in Mlle Blanche de Glace.I mean come on who doesn't want to see an actress going on an all out shooting rampage,all spliced up and such?

    Wow, so these guys won't be available as DLC later like the Civ Rev pre-order bonuses?

    We've only announced this one program so far. You're going to have to wait for me to announce everything else -- all in good time, don't worry.

    So...you're saying I would be wise to be a little patient, because if something else you offer I happen to like a lot more....then I won't have prematurely ordered.

    How about....a nice 8 X 10 signed picture of you, Liz! I'd preorder that!

    No. When you pick up the pre-order (when the game is released)
    you get a card. I believe anyways.

    Rapturians who pre-order BioShock 2 at GameStop in the US or EB Games in Canada will receive a special bonus of two extra Rapture citizens to play in Multiplayer: Zigo d’Acosta and Mlle Blanche de Glace. The duo will be available via special codes in all editions of BioShock 2 sold at GameStop in the US or EB Games in Canada. Pre-order at your nearest store or online at GameStop.com, and stay tuned to the Cult of Rapture to learn more about European pre-order programs and all multiplayer characters in the coming weeks.
    sounds like there's a CE/LE coming out

    That could also mean PS3,Xbox360, and PC. I hope news of a limited edition is released soon. I don't even need details. It would just be nice to know if one is coming, so I could wait to pre-order that one.

    I already preordered, I plan on playing the non LE then when the LE comes out, I'll sell the one I got and get the LE, I'm looking forward to playing as these preorder characters.
