John-ShepardHey, did you know Call of Duty: Black Ops II launches on November 13? No? Really? …don't lie.
If you're one of millions who plan to place your deposit on Treyarch's new blockbuster, you should probably be aware of the various pre-order incentives.
First up is Amazon , which is offering a free Black Ops II digital wallpaper with your pre-order. Then there's GameStop , which will give you a free two-sided Black Ops II poster, plus an additional Modern Warfare 3 prestige token for PowerUp Rewards members (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions only). Lastly, you can pre-order at Best Buy , which will hand over a free Black Ops II dog tag. Personally, nothing is really leaping out at me here but then again, I never pre-order anything anymore. So I'm probably not the best judge.
Okay, so who isn't pre-ordering this game? I mean, besides some of the normal PSXE readers?

im not
god I love your avatar
Im not. Maybe ill end up borrowing it from one of my friends who LOVES CoD. I got MW3, they got me. Sucked $120 outta me which includes new maps all year long (saving you like $20) and the last time i eve put it in my PS3 was back in March.
Who Cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(My Opinion)!
Already got my two sided poster and MW3 prestige token frome gamestop!
Im a PSXE reader and a COD lover….. now thats a contradiction! JK….

I preordered at Gamestop and got the two sided poster but they also gave me a code to input online at their website. It signs you up for other giveaways from Treyarch that are happening in July, August and October. Can't wait to see what those are.
@rogers71 I also got that code, I actually forgot about that.
lol those are pretty facking lame for such a high profile game.
"If you're one of millions who plan to place your deposit on Treyarch's new blockbuster"
thats why… one million posters/dogtags are expensive haha and this guys are aaaaalll about the money
They could include a yacht with every copy and it wouldn't put a dent in Bobby Kotex's bottom line.
exactly world, i mean posters and dog tags…what the hell?

In before someone says something about why are people commenting on this article if they are not interested in this game. Also something about "haters" or to make it cooler " haterz".
60 bucks is expensive for COD games now.
They should just be yearly expansion packs.
what happened to the good old days where preorders got you something special or useful?
i remember preordering GT4 and i ended up getting a USB stick shaped as a car key and had heaps of stuff on the game like wallpapers, movies of making of, concept art, ect, ect.
posters?
really?
thats the best you can do guys?
i mean surely the best selling game of all time can afford something a little more extravagant than posters!
Actually at gamestop you get 4 bonuses all together if you preorder in may. Not including the power up bonus. Which hopefully they do that for the other 3 as well.
In addition to dumb poster gamestop is also offering four waves of so far undetailed bonuses over the next 5 months on gamestopblackops2.com i assume the other retailers are doing this too…. but i only know for sure ghat gamwstop is doing this.
I'm going to pre-order it, then sell it on eBay for $130.
If this were any other game, I'd get laughed at. But, since this is nothing other than Call Of Duty, I'm fairly certain I could easily get $130 for it.
Oh, and if I also give away a poorly sketched digital wallpaper with the eBay listing, even though it's nothing more than a 2D stickman and a square grenade, I could probably get an additional $10, making it a total of $140.
Boy, I love the gaming industry and what it has become. Way to go Activision! You just made me an extra $140 😀
