Sleeping Dogs Coming This August With Store-Specific Bonuses

Sleeping Dogs, the game formerly known as True Crime: Hong Kong, has finally scored an official release date. In addition to that news, publisher Square Enix has revealed a trio of retailer-specific preorder bonuses.

Gamers can score in-game content for Sleeping Dogs when they pick it up August 14 on the PS3 or Xbox 360, depending on where they plunk down their preorder bucks. Take a look at the options below.

Amazon: ‘Martial Arts’ Pack:

• Shaolin Showdown Mission
• Shaolin Warrior outfit (with increased striking damage)
• Bonus Triad XP points
• Wing Chun decoration for safehouse (with temporary combat buff)

Best Buy: ‘Georges St. Pierre (GSP)’ Pack:

• GSP’s signature “flying punch”
• Exclusive GSP outfit including T-shirts, headband and shorts
• GSP’s outfit unlocks the “flying punch” and increases grappling and throwing damage

GameStop: ‘Police Protection’ Pack:

• Exclusive “High Speed” Mission
• Exclusive HK Police SWAT Outfit

Don't get too upset if you feel conflicted; if past experiences have told us anything, it's that these kinds of things will pop up as DLC a few months after a game's release. Shhh. It'll be our secret.
