    GameStop and Best Buy

    I just checked the two sites for the pre order perks for NCAA 12. Best Buy has the 5 star RTG QB for pre orders. Game Stop has the Nike Pro Combat Unis for Ohio State, Boise State, VT, Pitt, and TCU. These store usually sweeten the pot as it gets closer to the release date. Best Buy USUALLY offers 500 RZ points. I am kind of disappointed that I wont be able to get the Pro combat Unis if I get it from Best Buy. I thought last years way of playing the demo earner you the Unis was a brillant way to promote the game. I just though I would share what I found and see what my fellow gamers thought about this. Please feel free to comment with other pre order exclusives that you find. I stick to Best Buy and GS due to location restraints.

    I also just checked Walmart.com and the have a recruiting advisor for their pre order exclusive. Walmart is open 24 hours and GS and BB dont always offer a midnight release in my area.

      This whole thing just pisses me off. Every game should contain the same material, and be the same price.

              Well first i don't see a problem at all. If you can't get a 5* RtG QB you shouldn't be playing it. And why would you want the recruit thing? It takes away all the fun of it.

              I would think of you were gonna pre-order, the uniforms would be a no brainier!

                All of the pre order bonuses are terrible thankfully, the 5 star QB thing being the worst. I don't care about the PC uni's because they're hideous anyway.

                  Some teams have hideous PCs. Ohio State's (your avatar, guessing your team) have the worst ones I've ever seen. But TCU and Va Tech usually have solid ones. Va Tech's, not so much last year, but the helmets were awesoem.

                    Your not just saying that cause you're a michigan fan are you?
                    OSU's 2009's PC's were atrocious, while quite a few of the other 2009's PC weren't too bad. OSU's 2010 PC's were bad but bearable, but pretty much every single teams 2010 Pro Combats were horrible.

                        Nah, no bias in it. They're just horrible. Those solid red ones with the blank silver helmet? Those were awful. Flat out horrible. Can't remember their other ones though.

                            Yeah...but uniforms though? I feel like all the uniforms that will be used by any team in 2011 should already come with the game.

                              Well it's a business. I don't want to buy the game from GS...but dang I might have to now.

                              This is why GS forked out some money to EA...to overall increase their sales.
