I think Gamestop Italy's Glow In the Dark condoms for preordering Infamous Second Son still easily takes the cake.

Is it the worst because it's rubbing salt in a wound?

Do they even know their target demographic? What could we possibly do with those...
You know how easy it is to make balloon snakes with those?

Much like normal pre-order trinkets, they would never get used.

The in game items and currency stuff that isn't even rare is super dumb.
Glow in the dark water balloons are sweet.

What happened to those rewards anyway? It were incluyed after ?
It didn't actually get released but still.
That one is still mind boggling.
"You know what's hot? Severed torsos with tittays." Like, how does one even reach that conclusion.

It didn't? I have a vague memory that a guy at my college bought one and walked around with it during classes...
Don't remember which store it was (the company closed or merged with GAME), but I was awarded with a bag of cereals by preordering Fire Emblem: Awakening/Animal Crossing: New Life. I will never forget the look on the cashier's face when I asked him if the cereals were just a redeemable DLC code for the game and he came back with the actual cereals.

They just dropped them entirely, IIRC. It's amazing that they even tried this. It's like no one learned from the infamous Potato Sack ARG for Portal 2.
lmao This one looks like it belongs in that Facebook page about bootleg stuff.

those condoms are amazing just cause its such a random pre order bonus.
This is a thread for the worst not best.

Assassin's Creed preorder pants. It was Syndicate, I think.
Principate
Saint Titanfall
Either the way chemical based glow sticks or highvis clothes work I assume (though that in particular still requires some light).

I remember not buying Colors at launch and regretting later it because it was Hat Day the next week at school.
I could've rocked that.

i bought it .. explain that
some kind of hard plastic

Is it plastic or rubber?
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 LE came with promising "director's commentary". It amounted to like a paragraph on the back of 10 page "artbook" featuring Hayashi with a shit eating grin on his face.
For some reason this by all accounts rather shit LE was selling for like 175$ there for a while on ebay too. I gladly dumped that POS on some overly thirsty NG fan and put it into getting a nice gpu xD

that dark souls 3 estus flask preorder edition
ahahahhahha
that dark souls 3 estus flask preorder edition
That was for a guide, not the game.
these days they're basically the same thing though
I mean yeah some games like Pillars of Eternity get big box actual limited print things, but "Collectors Editions" these days are just fancy preorder things with swag.
Are you sure those aren't supposed to be condoms as well?street fighter 4 had finger puppets...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided granted the player additional praxis kits along with skins for some weapons in the game as well as variations of trenchcoat for Adam Jensen to wear.
What's most fucked-up about this is that initially, not only was this a pre-order bonus which could end up affecting the balance of the game, but you were allowed to utilize it ONCE. Not once per campaign, ONCE.
SE made the pre-order content free for everyone (and I would hope removed the activation limit) at the start of this year, but it sets a weird precedent, as they were also selling credits and praxis kits as microtransactions.
The actual content of the pre-order is not all that bad, it is the implication of what that means regarding the monetization of single-player narrative-driven games that SE fucked up to a great deal. On top of that, Mankind Divided was also considered a sales failure that took too long to develop, and we will likely not see another Deus Ex from Square-Enix as a result.
