NHL 12 Pre-Order Deals Popping Up Already

[ChaseB]

If you checked out the debut NHL 12 footage and immediately said "I must buy this game," then this news is for you.

Amazon.com is offering http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WL4LP8/...=operasport-20 in September if you pre-order NHL 12, while Gamestop.com is offering the "Bauer Boost Pack" to those pre-order believers out there.

Here is the description of the Bauer Boost Pack via Gamestop.com:

Quote:

Bauer Boost Pack: Enhance your Be a Pro and EA SPORTS Hockey League character. Give your player that extra edge to cement yourself in NHL history of being one of the greatest.

Basically, you can pre-order at Amazon if you want to drop hockey knowledge bombs on people, or you can pre-order at Gamestop if you just want to get a leg up on the competition from day one.

EA has the PS3 version for $44 Preorder, the 360 is $49, not including shipping.

I hate boosts and charging for them is even worse. Why not include stuff like retro teams and such for download?

Damn boosts. Get rid of that stuff. Let people earn their attributes and make everyone start at the same skill. But boosts = $ so that is that.

Adding onto this, it looks like Best Buy has their own goalie boost pre-order incentive.

Best Buy Pre-Order

Quote:

Pre-order NHL 12 at Best Buy and receive the goalie boost to enhance your Be a Pro and EA SPORTS Hockey League goalie. Give your goalie that extra boost of being the corner stone of your franchise. Stonewall your opponents with awe-inspiring desperation saves from your goalie as he covers every possible angle and works through screens and flying bodies in front of the net.
