Watch Dogs Preorder Bonuses
Which pack to pick?
If you weren't one of the folks who preordered Watch Dogs in anticipation of its original November 2013 release date, you might be wondering which retailer is offering the best preorder deals and/or bonuses for the 2014 release. As detailed in the table below, Ubisoft is creating several retailer-specific digital bonus packs for Watch Dogs, a few of which include single-player content in addition to gameplay perks, exclusive outfits and the like. Honestly, I tend to be a glass half-empty guy where this stuff is concerned; I don't necessarily feel like I'm gaining much by picking a bonus pack, but rather that I'm missing out on in-game content that has been set aside for retailers other than the one I choose. (And yes, I've totally resorted to using ebay to procure said bonuses after the fact).
What about you? Do in-game bonuses like those being offered with Watch Dogs preorders influence your choice of retailer? Do they convince you to preorder when you might otherwise have been content to just take your chances on launch day and walk into a store? Let us know in the comments below.
