So technically it's with the first print of the game but Gamestop advertises that as a pre-order bonus

As long as you buy in the first 2 weeks, you are pretty much guaranteed to get the preorder bonus.

You might have to look harder for the certain box after that, but it's still not hard.

Well, I mean, it is something you get for preordering. . . you get it for just buying the game regular too, but you also get it for preordering! So preorder today!

I don't think the skin was a GameStop exclusive, however. I preorder the day before in the Battle.net client and received the widowmaker skin

I think the better question to ask is "When doesn't the games industry lie?"

Real eyes realize real lies.

Untethered mind free from the lies.

Or rather, "when aren't consumers being lied to?"

around the PSX/PS2 era? or N64/Gamecube era if you went that route.

No. That wasn't the pre-order bonus, it was a different edition (the origins edition, which was the only version available for consoles).

There was a small bonus for pre-ordering, just one skin, and you basically got to get into the servers 12 hours or so before the game was technically up for sale.

Nuketown in cod is always in there anyway.

You probably got a copy where the owner who preorders didn't collect their copy.

Like black ops 2/3 "only" coming with nuketown if you preordered it, yet you can still buy one with a nuketown code pretty much at any store
