As if the promise of real (in-game) superpowers didn't provide enough incentive to get in on DC Universe Online, Sony Online Entertainment revealed several
Pre- order bonuses for the game from different retailers.
For example, pre-ordering from Amazon will earn you a two-on-two arena battle in which you play as Batman, and an exclusive in-game item, the Amazonian Gauntlets (get it?). Wal-Mart pre-orders come with the Batman arena mode and Joker's Trick Pistol. There are unique DC Comics-inspired armaments available from eight different retailers in all.
In addition, pre-ordering the collector's edition will also entitle you to a Batman figurine and two more weapons. You can browse all the available options at SOE's pre-order site. And if you can't wait for your pre-ordered copy to arrive, sign up for the open beta now.
