Am I correct that the 24 Ultimate Team packs are available from all major retailers if you pre-order? I'm assuming it's a pack in code for the first run of the game and not a retailer specific pre-order bonus. Anyone know if that's the case?

I've only ever heard of the Ultimate Team packs as a Gamestop pre-order bonus.

@DJ - Yes it will, but as a simple roster update, with no gameplay improvements.
