Which Retailer Has the Best Final Fantasy XIII-2 Preorder Incentive_
Published on January 01, 0001
When Final Fantasy XIII-2 hits North American shores on January 31, GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon customers that 
preordered the game will walk away with some pretty spiffy bonus items, but which is the most enticing? This time around it’s not GameStop.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); In the 
world of retailer-exclusive preorder bonuses, dedicated video game retailer GameStop normally comes out on top, but in the case of Final Fantasy XIII-2 I’m not so sure. Fans that put their money down at the video game chain will score a special costume for the character Serah, visible throughout the whole game, but what’s a costume compared to Amazon’s Omega?
That’s right kids, pre-purchasing from online retailer Amazon.com scores players a special coliseum boss battle against Omega, a name generally 
reserved for powerful weapons or optional bosses in the Final Fantasy series. Defeat Omega in this special battle [[link]] and the powerful monster will join your party, and you win. I mean come on, it’s Omega.
Omega beats fancy costume. It definitely beats Best Buy’s preorder exclusive hardbound Final Fantasy XIII –Episode i– novella, which bridges the gap between XIII and XIII-2 Though let’s be smart about this. A physical item [[link]] is probably worth more in the long run, and Square Enix won’t be able to resist releasing that Omega battle later as paid downloadable content.
Since there’s no toy moogle, gonna have to go [[link]] with Best Buy on this one. Thoughts? You can contact Michael Fahey, the author of this post, at [email protected]. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and lurking around our #tips page.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
