Yakuza 3 is a big title, so you’d expect a bundle. If you’re on the ledge and thinking about getting a PS3 for Yakuza 3, what better way than getting a official Yakuza 3 bundle? Well there will be some problems, first of all it is Japan only and it is going to retail for ¥45,980 (US$492.77).
The bundle comes with a 80gb ceramic white PS3 that has a dragon design on it. Not only that it will be limited to 10,000 units.
Japan also gets a Kamutai magazine as a pre-order bonus, totaling a total of 48 pages showing the nightlife and hostess bars in Kabukicho.
The game and bundle is slated to release on February 26, 2009.

HotD: Overkill graphic novel available with US pre-orders
Posted by Graham. Filed under Europe, G, News, Nintendo Wii. Tagged with America, Graphic Novel, House of the Dead, Overkill, Pre-order.
A few days ago we reported on the announcement that PAL Wii owners would be in for a treat, with the limited edition House of the Dead: Overkill pack, which comes with a special graphic novel, based upon the game.
Many of you US owners were (understandably) upset with the news that the graphic novel would not make it to American shores. But the good news is that Sega has confirmed that it will in fact be arriving, but in a slightly different way.
More information and press release after the break.

Just like the deal with Golden Axe: Beast Rider, only for a much better game. If you pre-order Valkyria Chronicles you get a neat looking art book. Make sure to pick up this game, it ships on November 11th and Pre-order it through Gamestop to get the free art book!
This is the first time seeing the new cover for the western release, I actually think it looks better than the Japanese version. What do you guys think?

Pre-order Golden Axe: Beast Rider and get a free art book
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Free, Pre-order, Sega Swag.
If you pre-order Golden Axe: Beast Riders through Gamestop (or any other outlet that they bought out) you will get a free art book with your reservation. Even though I don’t like the way the game is shaping up, its good to see Sega giving out things with pre-orders, can’t complain about free Sega swag.
Game is suppose to come out of the closet on October 14th, but it has been delayed so much that I’ll belive it when I see it on store shelves.

Gamestop offers Sonic Chronicles pre-order bonus
Posted by Chris. Filed under Chris, Nintendo DS, North America, Sonic. Tagged with Gamestop, Pre-order, Sonic Chronicles.
Sega and Gamestop have been teaming up to offer us quite a bit of pre-order bonuses for awhile now, and they’re at it again. For those who pre-order Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood online or in-store, you’ll get a stylus three-pack featuring Sonic, Knuckles and Shade when the game is released.
It’s not like any of us Sega Nerds really needed a reason to pre-order the game; I think it’s fair to say we’re all pretty excited about Sega and Bioware teaming up for a Sonic RPG. But for those of you who love to collect this kind of stuff, we’re sure you’re salivating as you’re reading this news.
According to Sonic Chronicles’ Gamestop page, there’s a limited supply of the stylus packs, so get ‘em while they’re available! Gamestop lists the DS title to ship Sept. 30.
