GameStop LBP pre-orders also get God of War level pack

by Majed Athab { Oct 6th 2008 at 10:15PM }

According to a new GameStop commercial uploaded to Youtube, gamers who pre-order LittleBigPlanet from GameStop will not only get Kratos sackboy, but also Medusa and Minotaur costumes along with a unique God of War map pack. It sounds like the map pack means not just a brand new level to play, but special tools and items for you use in your own creations.

So "power to the players," people; take that slogan to mean "feel free to bother your local store clerk" for hours on end to give you those additional voucher codes. Check out the commercial embedded after the cut.

Do you think if I cancel my Best Buy preorder they will make me send my code back before issuing a refund?

gold5225 @ Oct 6th 2008 10:22PM

must go back and get other vochers well at least when they open back up tommorow.

chimaera9 @ Oct 6th 2008 10:22PM

Hmm, is this retro-active, because I already pre-ordered from there and received my promotion code, but it doesn't mention these additional features. I'm guessing I lost out on this one?

heypaul @ Oct 7th 2008 1:39PM

My bet is that they will make the code you already have on your voucher download a pack with all three costumes instead of giving out additional vouchers for each individual costume. Makes much more economic sense for them that way.

John S @ Oct 6th 2008 10:24PM

So sick!!

Rainman @ Oct 6th 2008 10:24PM

If i preordered at gamestop before this was announced, will i still get the extra stuff and not just the kratos sackboy?

Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 6th 2008 10:25PM

Yeah I saw this at EB-Games here in NZ too. They say that you'll get free "God Of War in-game costumes" when you pre-order. And considering that The Gamesman here is owned by EB-Games, and they're offering up the Kratos Sackboy, I guess you get both here too. :)

Pretty good considering that when you pre-order most games, you get nothing, or you have to pay for anything extra!

mooseinabox @ Oct 6th 2008 10:27PM

Awesome! I got in the beta, this game is amazing!! Can't wait for the 3 costumes and special tools. This is gonna be sweet. And hey, for once, Gamestop isn't sucking. That's a first =]

Thanks for the info guys!

Popfrogs @ Oct 7th 2008 11:36PM

I know right...Gamestop blows but they keep getting the cool bundles and preorders. Got my MGS4 limited edition with art book there, now this. Guess I gotta go preorder.

Hife @ Oct 6th 2008 10:28PM

When I pre-ordered mine at gamestop I forgot about the voucher. I called when I got home, and they said they were already out.
Anyone know if I can cancel that pre-order and pre-order it from another gamestop if I can find one that still has vouchers?

shortyvs @ Oct 6th 2008 10:44PM

I preordered it from a Gamestop that ran out of the promo codes. They said I could get one from another Gamestop if they had any left. All I needed was the receipt and my story. So I did and I got my code no problem.

Hife @ Oct 6th 2008 11:03PM

Awesome. Thanks shortyvs. I guess I will be trying that tomorrow.

The Aggie CEO @ Oct 7th 2008 7:43AM

my gamestop said they werent giving them out until the game came out.......

kevin @ Oct 6th 2008 10:28PM

guess its time to pre order.

PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Oct 7th 2008 6:08PM

If you live in Canada, Future Shop has a lot of codes if you pre-order. The cool thing is is that you can also get the official LittleBigPlanet case along with your code! (I don't know if this applies to everyone who pre-orders). The game case is actually sitting on top of my desk.

Howard @ Oct 6th 2008 10:31PM

Opie and Anthony @ Oct 7th 2008 2:06AM

WOW... That wuz jus wundrfl. plz tel uz sum mo bout ur stry.

English is dead.

Lars @ Oct 7th 2008 1:14PM

Yeah, what's with the lame baby-talk, Howard?

Ramm @ Oct 6th 2008 10:33PM

you'll get any extra stuff that comes out as long as you have a pre-order on it. no need to go to gamestop to get the codes, they aren't available yet.

Quest @ Oct 7th 2008 5:06PM

I got my code over a month ago when I pre-ordered. They ARE out, and are not easy to find anymore!

Packfan @ Oct 6th 2008 10:35PM

Still going with Amazon. I can't bring myself to preorder anything from Gamestop. Gamestop is the Walmart of the gaming world.

Anyways, what's a costume in a game this large where items can be gotten in user levels. There are going to be TONS of knockoffs within weeks to collect in user levels making these costume/exclusive levels obsolete.

SuperGayParade @ Oct 6th 2008 10:40PM

I get select costumes, but levels? That's silly.

I also pre-ordered from Amazon. I'm getting it the day of in the mail with their excellent shipping. GameStop is garbage. I can't understand a developer supporting them when they steal their sales with used games.

spyker @ Oct 6th 2008 10:42PM

SWEET! I preordered a month ago, can't wait for all my codes via email :).

nakedatthecomp @ Oct 6th 2008 10:54PM

WHYYYYY does GameStop have to be only in the States?!

Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 7th 2008 1:01AM

It might be worth seeing if your local game stores are running a similar promotion, because the game stores here (New Zealand - ages away from the USA) are offering this exact same deal. Probably worth a go, no?

kger_1324 @ Oct 7th 2008 5:01AM

I'm with you there lol..totally agree..

Ted @ Oct 6th 2008 11:07PM

Awesome, and Yes the code that most of us got already from gamestop will work for the newly announced stuff.

stblack @ Oct 6th 2008 11:31PM

how do you know for sure?

linebeginstoblur @ Oct 6th 2008 11:10PM

Wait... we need additional codes? Couldn't it just be that they're putting all of that on the one code?

No, honestly, were you just saying that they might be separate codes, or did you actually hear that somewhere? Why the hell would they be making new codes? It was difficult enough for me to get ahold of the main one for Kratos. But couldn't they just put that stuff on the same codes?

Surfaced @ Oct 6th 2008 11:10PM

Damn you, GameStop. I was certain I'd preorder from Best Buy, but now I just don't know....

Tim Parsons @ Oct 6th 2008 11:16PM

please tell me this will be available eventually anyway? the closest Gamestop to me is 2 hours away

lorddshadow @ Oct 7th 2008 1:45AM

that's insane! i have 5 gamestops within 3 miles of my house! 3 of them are less than a mile away from my house and walking distance across from each other. wow. and i live in alabama! usually we're the ones who get shafted. then again it's gamestop...

John S @ Oct 6th 2008 11:37PM

dude.... watch this everyone! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiRgYBHoAoU

insane

LatinoLA1 @ Oct 7th 2008 12:25AM

WOW i saw that video at first i was like cool it has an addition thing that you can get that adds, but when the second part came in, i was surprised that thing looks so complicated, to bad the player can't see the machine behind the adding and subtracting, but mad props to the person who made it

Pete @ Oct 6th 2008 11:37PM

Does anyone know if you get the level pack when you pre-order the game at EB Games Canada

infekt @ Oct 7th 2008 12:49AM

Will Canadian EB game pre-orders have the same deal?

Deaddy @ Oct 7th 2008 12:52AM

I would like some kind of confirmation on whether our existing codes are good for all of this content or do we need new codes for the new items?

Skyflur @ Oct 7th 2008 1:02AM

Same, would like someone to e-mail gamestop, like my self.

Ty @ Oct 7th 2008 1:36AM

Intense! RFN!

DeathroW @ Oct 7th 2008 2:37AM

The one with playstation offical magazine here in the uk has the kratos thing as you probably know, but it does say on the back "Kratos gamepack" so maybe that is included with it.

Well eitherway i hope they release these tools later on in as free DLC on the store.

Krownz @ Oct 7th 2008 2:55AM

I'm a manager for GameStop and I can confirm that the codes all of you have received thus far ARE, in fact, retroactive. There are no additional codes for any GameStops to give out. The one code gives you everything.

Lol. We knew about this awhile ago. They told us at our Manager's Conference in Vegas. Never send the tip in because I thought everyone knew. :P
