retailer specific bonuses = dumb
everything is usually available online later on, so it's not like you're truly missing out on anything |

| Tag mode sounds cool. Not too sure how the invisibility mode is going to work or how much fun it will be. |

| Heh, well if you're looking for a reason NOT to get it they've just given you one. Also those incentives are awful. I still have high hopes for this title though. |

Make sure you read carefully. Some say "unlock", some say "early access". Either way, perhaps it's akin to the original N64 game where you can unlock them by doing speedruns on certain levels, but this might not be the case of course...we'll have to see. |

| I wish games would have the same pre-order bonuses for all retailers, I had to decide where to pre-order BF3 depending on what bonus I wanted and not what company I prefered. |

| Nice incentives but with three different pre order bonuses from three different retailers I'm going to save myself of having to decide and just pick it up whenever I find the time after it's release. |

You're kind of missing part of the point of pre-order incentives. Different retailers are vying for your gaming dollars. It's not like EA or Activision whips up these incentives and randomly passes them out to each retailer. These retailers work out deals with the publisher, hoping that their incentive is the one you choose. Sometimes one is better than another's, but that's based off the deal they worked out and how badly they want you to buy that game at that store. |

| I don't mind skins and other cosmetic bonuses or weapons for single player but diversifying the multiplayer experience like this is just not cool. |

It's mostly Private or split-screen stuff. |

Activision wanted to exploit the Goldeneye fans when the XBLA version got canned. (It was the N64 with rezed up HD graphics and textures, like Perfect Dark XBLA, the best FPS game there is, no arguments)
This game is just like COD, don't buy it. |

| This IS NOT the original updated. Stay away until it is cheap, can see that happening rather quickly. |

This is why it says "unlock." As in, these allow you to instantly unlock the content - rather than having to fulfill the usual in-game requirements. You will still have access to these modifiers without needing to pre-order the game. The same goes for the "early access" to online multiplayer match types. That is, as the name clearly states, just getting access to those modes before they are released to the general public.
From the looks of it, as with any other Activision title, the pre-order incentives will not contain ANYTHING unique that you need to worry about missing. You'll either be able to unlock them through gameplay or purchase them at a later date from the marketplace. This holds true in their games from Call of Duty, to Transformers, to Spider Man and so forth. |

I would never buy this at full price anyway, because it would have to be on par with N64 version for that.
I really doubt this one will get average reviews of like 97%. 65% at most perhaps for the new "goldeneye". 007 games tend to be bad.
007 Quantum of Solace was quite fun, and i even finished it on both PC and 360. |

Good summary of why not to buy until it goes cheap. I smell Christmas sale on this so I can wait. Will be busy with better games anyways. |
