Costume itself is fine, considering the theme, and I don't mind the color (it's a nice departure from all the blues/greys) but the 'GS' itself is meh.

Not ambiguous in gender enough to be Ranmaru Mori.
Eh, I'll stick with my Amazon preorder. The GS costume doesn't do anything for me.

Really kind of sad to see Atlus doing this.
At least the preorder DLC is something no one cares about. My preorder is from Gamestop already, but I wouldn't care if it wasn't.

There will almost assuredly be other armors that have the same design (but probably in a different color) without the ugly GS stamp on it.

Eh I can kind of see it. Hah, I wonder how many people thought he was a lady when they first played a warriors game he was in.

It's as simple as this, Atlus scratches the back of brick n' mortar and online retailers and they scratch back. In return for the store-specific DLC Gamestop will likely promote Shin Megami Tensei IV; provide it more shelf space or simply more prominent shelf space, advertise it in store, up-sell the game, etc. Atlus is just playing the same terrible game that most other major publishers engage in to help their game at retail.
I pre-ordered it at EB today when I went to pick up my copy of Soul Hackers, not because I want that nasty costume, just because I want that first print-run goodness.

It's really surprising to see this sorta thing inflicted on a Japanese game, these Preorder DLCs are often synonymous with Western games and Western publishers.
Also, why is it that for all of the publisher/developer bitching about used game sales in places like Gamestop and other major retailers, they still make deals like this with them?

Still... Amazon make me happy and do something with the 'Amazon smile' for your dlc. :3
...or at least, if someone can shop something like it really fast, I'd love to see it too.

Filthy law, I'm gonna put on my Gaian rags and flip a table in defiance to your lawness.
Hey, I know the person who drew that pic...
Welp, gotta decide now whether Amazon discount or GameStop...

Hey guys, I just got back from pre-ordering at Gamestop; how jelly are you?
Now I will be able to play the game with style.
