Looks like EA is giving Simpsons fans reason enough to plunk down early money for The Simpsons Game coming in October. Folks who pre-order the game will get their very own Homerball!
Electronic Arts will unleash their pre-order campaign for the upcoming title, The Simpsons Game. Four of the biggest game retailers (GameStop, Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy) will each have an exclusive, limited edition The Simpsons Game Parody Poster for early customers.

In addition, each retailer will have a specifically created cheat code printed on the back of the game posters to open some of the unlockable content in the game. These are all while supplies last.
