Max Payne 3 Special Edition Available for Pre-Order till Launch

Posted on April 2 2012, 7:38pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

In light of some unfortunate recent retail issues in the UK and elsewhere in Europe which have affected preorder availability, we've decided to extend the period to pre-order the Max Payne 3 Special Edition to continue all the way until game launch this May. Fans in the UK can order the Special Edition with local retailers as well as through the Rockstar Warehouse online. For everyone else in Europe and Australia, please check with your retailer of choice for details on pre-ordering (we will also have extended Special Edition pre-order availability for EU at the Rockstar Warehouse within the month).

As we always strive to make everything equally available to all our fans across the globe as best we can, we're also extending the pre-order period here in North America through launch, exclusively with GameStop.

Brunno_182 Hey man, I'm from Brazil too. Why don't you try buying the game through the internet? It's way cheaper, and you don't even have to buy it from international sites, there're some pretty good local sites where the price is much better.

@emadew547 Yes, pre-ordering Max Payne 3 will get you early access to some extra content that we will be releasing to everyone sometime down the road

@Taxies The Special Edition will include all of the items shown above, plus we'll have prizing giveaways coming up in multiplayer events in the future to win t-shirts and other gear, hope you can join in

@r*
why oh why? the same lame cover artwork from the single edition is now on the special edition, too? i still don't get what you guys like on it. it's not classy than the gta ones, not iconic than the one for red dead redemption and not even close amazing than the one for l.a. noire. it's just a rebuild plus more stereotypes. as i said for the final cover art itself: "the previous one was so much better!"
Taxieson April 3 2012, 5:38pmReply
Will Rockstar planning adding anything else to the special edition??
I pre order mine. but really looking forward to see something cool for this!!!

R* why you never give us a special STEELBOOK of the Game??? So there is only written Special Edition with a other cover!!

But I love the Steelbooks...
