Bonus Content for 360 Pre-Orders

[MarkD1990]

Shane Kim has been very excited publicly about his belief that the Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto IV would be the best selling version and deliver the most content. We here at Xbox Family had caught wind of pre-order content that would be available exclusively to the Xbox 360, but had to guess what it would be. Automatically, we assumed it was one of the exclusive downloadable content packs that Microsoft paid an arm and a leg for.

While it’s not that big, Xbox 360 owners will still be getting some freebies as well as possibly getting even more. Those who pre-order the Xbox 360 version will receive a pack of 4 exclusive GTA IV gamerpics that they can download immediately and won’t be available to the general public. In addition to this, if you pre-order at brick & mortar retailers (real stores, not online retailers), you’ll receive an exclusive Grand Theft Auto IV game case which contains information on how to win a bevy of prizes from an upcoming giveaway that will be held on xbox.com.

The giveaway will only be available to those who pre-order the game. Inside of the case you receive when you pre-order the game will be a code to enter online for entry.

Giveaway Prizes Include:

-100 people will win an Xbox 360 Elite console.

-2000 people will win Grand Theft Auto IV apparel.

-10,000 people will win various amounts of MS Points ranging from 500 to 1600 ms points.

-10,000 people will win various XBL Gold memberships ranging from 1 month to 12 months.

So there you have it. That’s Microsoft’s big plan to seal up the Grand Theft Auto IV pre-orders. We would have preferred one of the downloadable content packs, but it’s still pretty nice to know Xbox 360 owners will be getting something for pre-ordering the game.

From what we know, this information should go public by at least mid-March. So you shouldn’t have to wait too long.

But is this for regular versions or for special edition or even both?

Is this at all stores? Does it count for those who have already pre-ordered?

[Spaz The Great]

I think it's anyone who pre-orders the game. Meaning, regardless of version, and regardless of when you pre-ordered. But I could be wrong.
