Deus Ex: Human Revolution Special Edition, Preorder Bonuses Revealed

With the Deus Ex franchise finally set for a rebirth with next year's Human Revolution, publisher Square Enix is celebrating the best way they know how: with a massive special edition and a bunch of preorder bonuses.

The Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition (pictured above) will come packed with a whole bunch of goodies: a 40-page artbook, a "Making of" DVD, and a motion graphic novel tied in to the game. Best of all, these extras will only set you back $10 more than the regular version: $69.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3 and $59.99 for PC.

If you're serious about your Deus Ex, you can get your hands on even more extra stuff by preordering. Do so at GameStop, and you'll receive the Linebacker G-87 grenade launcher, the explosive UR-DED (utility remote-detonated explosive device), an automatic unlocking device, and an exclusive bonus mission that will include a cameo of a character from the first Deus Ex. Other unspecified participating retailers will offer a Huntsman double-barrel shotgun and a Longsword extreme range sniper rifle for preordering.

To see the preorder bonuses in action, check out the videos below. The first showcases the GameStop pack, while the second shows off the extra weapons from other retailers. It sounds like both preorder packs will also include extra in-game credits for purchasing upgrades.
