If this is true then the first piece of content has officially been titled "From Dust." (not to be confused from the arcade title). Or maybe this could be the aforementioned DLC mission to be given for those who pre-order the N7 collector's edition. Hopefully Bioware will shed some light on this mystery soon.

GameStop Opens New Deus Ex Cases In Order To Remove Promotional Codes

Square Enix and OnLive teamed upped in order to promote Deus Ex: Human Evolution that included a promotional code that would allow you to receive a free OnLive version of the game when you purchased a PC retail copy. Gamestop on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with the promo Square Enix and OnLive has set up, so they went to the extreme to make sure that costumer would not be able to get the promotional codes.

Gamestop has done the unexpected - they opened the new games, took out the codes and resold the game without the code. Beth Sharum, public relations representative for GameStop, said, "Square Enix packed the competitor's coupon with our DXHR product without our prior knowledge and we did pull and discard these coupons".

GameStop sees this as competition because earlier this year, GameStop bought a digital distribution platform - Impluse. Impulse is a mix of OnLive and Steam, in which you can either buy your games online and download them or you can play the games on demand.

Spider-Man Suffers An Identity Crisis And X-Men Wreaks Havok

If you head over to GameStop and preorder Spider-Man: Edge of Time and X-Men: Destiny, you get some pretty damn snazzy costumes.

Edge of Time offer an extreme unique costume selection for their alternate outfits, it's not Symbiote Spidey or Ben Reilly, it's actually Identity Crisis' costumes. This is why I love Beenox, they are choosing costumes that aren't well known and will be loved by big Spidey fans; Ricochet, Prodigy, Hornet and Dusk will all be wearable, and they look extremely nice.

X-Men Destiny also gets preorder bonuses from GameStop - Havok inspired costumes. Now Grant, Aimi and Adrian can sport the cooler Summers look.
