We’ve just announced all of our exclusive pre-order items for Darksiders in the UK, including a couple of cool costumes for use in PlayStation Home. Want to see what they look like?
First up is the War costume. This is a replica of the outfit worn by the horseman in the game. To get this free when you buy the game, you’ll need to pre-order with PLAY.com.
The other item is a Ruin mask. Yes, a complete apocalyptic steed head piece for you to use in Home…Sound effects not included! To get this you’ll need to pre-order with Amazon.
That’s not all… If you pre-order elsewhere there are a couple of other bonus items you can get. GAME is offering ‘The Harvester’ in-game weapon, Gamestation has an exclusive Joe Mad comic covering the back story in the game and the HMV pre-order includes a Darksiders 2010 calendar. Lots to choose from!
Darksiders hits 8 Jan in the UK, you can pre-order over here.

Seriously you guys are missing one big [DELETED] opportunity with HOME, you’ve seperated it from the gaming side which is not good, you need to allow us to use the HOME characters in games.
But damn it, that horse head looks cool x.x

I’m really looking forward to this game.
Is there any info on preorder incentives outside of the UK?
Posted on 10 December, 2009 at 7:19 pm by Mike Richardson
A lot of these pre-order items are being used across Europe.
You can find a couple of them in Germany through these shops: http://www.thq.com/de/game/retailers/4013

because you too can walk around the Ikea showroom, sorry, HOME, looking like a cos-play reject.
anyway, Home discriminates against people suffering from dwarfism or missing limbs or any number of other physical medical conditions.. why can’t i choose to use a wheelchair in Home? huh?
you are aware of the disability discrimination act are you not?

Some of these are being used elsewhere in Europe, but it will vary for each country.

Is there going to be any TV and radios yet? And what happened to the voice chat any word? And the ”Hall of Fame” space, when is that coming out?

Have to say those are some off the coolest looking Home costumes I’ve seen! Very nicely done
Are you able to say if there will be a demo for Darksiders or not?
Posted on 11 December, 2009 at 9:47 am by Mike Richardson
Sorry, there’s no demo planned for Darksiders.

Sorry about my comment above. Thank you Mike for informing us of the stuff that will be available for pre-ordering Darksiders. It looks interesting the stuff you are providing. =)

I live in Denmark as you can see, but I pretty much order all my games from the UK, will I then still be able to use the pre-order offers when I don’t live in the UK.

and for women?

Posted on 11 December, 2009 at 9:53 am by HazelAM
maybe i was a bit too indirect with my question.
are the costume and headpiece just for men?
Posted on 11 December, 2009 at 10:19 am by Mike Richardson
Nope, they’ll both be available as male and female versions

You guys should really get a demo out there, I’m 99% sure I’m gonna buy it but for a new IP like Darksiders, a demo could only be a positive thing.

thanks for the answer mike, sorry if i came across as a bit cynical, it’s just in home, in europe especially, women tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to content.
any pics available of the women’s version?
also i’d like to echo the sentiments about a demo, even if the devs create one after the game is finished, though a prerelease demo would be better.
a good game will sell more copies with a demo, i know there are a few games i wouldn’t have bought without a demo.
anyway, good luck with the launch.
don’t know which offer i’d prefer, the comic or the calender.
Posted on 11 December, 2009 at 1:58 pm by Mike Richardson
I don’t have any pics of the women’s version, but I’m told it looks the same.

I hope you do more effort to keep us interested as God of War III will run over this like nothing and im sure you are aware of this.
I hope you sell alot of games all togehter – on both platforms.

Will the costumes be available to buy from the Home Shopping Centre?
I’m going for the Amazon deal, I really don’t want to buy a second copy of the game in order to get the Wrath costume.
Posted on 11 December, 2009 at 2:01 pm by Mike Richardson
You will be able to buy them after release.
We’ve been working on a few other items as well, so I’ll hopefully have more pics to show in the coming months

WOW that looks epic. I think I’ll buy them as I never pre-order games.

Hello Mike Richardson, I wanna know when we can enjoy Final Fantasy VIII in PS3 (buying it in the Ps Store) in Spain ¿? thanks
Posted on 21 December, 2009 at 12:03 pm by Mike Richardson
Sorry, no idea, I work at THQ! Although, I’d also like to know… It’s a great game

So wait a minute, you can buy the “exclusive costumes” later? Doesnt that defeat the purpose of exclusive? Are you doing this only for the EU region, or across all regions?
