Dead Rising 2 Pre-Order Goodies Coming to Xbox Marketplace and Playstation Network October 7, 2010

This should be good news to anyone who picked up Dead Rising 2 without preorder, or who didn’t preorder the High Stakes edition at the Capcom store because they liked the Zombrex Edition better.

The four downloadable costumes will be made available on Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network each week starting on the 12th of October.  More than aesthetically pleasing, the costumes do grant you extra skills and abilities.

October 12:  Psychopath Theme Pack. Originally only in the Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition.  Chuck gets to wear a hockey mask and arms him with a chainsaw, cleavers, and more.

October 19: Soldier of Fortune Theme Pack.  Chuck gets a Rambo outfit and a special spray attack with automatic weapons.

October 26: Sports Theme Pack.  Previously a Best Buy Pre-Order Exclusive. Chuck gets increased damage with sports-themed weapons, while introducing new weapons like the basketball, which bounces when thrown, taking out multiple zombies at once.

November 2:  Ninja Theme Pack.   Originally a GameStop Pre-Order Incentive.  Chuck will also get increased damage with throwing weapons and swords, with some new moves and a faster throwing rate adding a little extra ninja to the pack.
