GameStop -Guerrilla Pack

• Unlock all multiplayer weapons and abilities for the first 24 hours of multiplayer gameplay.
• Retro Map Pack download code.

Best Buy - Fast Starter Pack

• Double XP for the first 24 hours of multiplayer gameplay.
• Retro Map Pack download code.

Amazon - Unlock and Load Pack

• Instant access to 3 Unlock Points to use on the multiplayerweapon or ability of your choice.
• Retro Map Pack download code.

Pre-ordering from retailers other thanGameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon will score you the Retro Map Pack, but none of the special perks.

Watch that itchy trigger finger - Killzone 3 releases in North America on February 22, 2011, so you havesome timeto decide. That helmet is pretty badass, though.

The multiplayer perks, however, aren't really our cup of debris. Double XP and 24-hourinstantweapon access are great and all,but we'd rather start from the bottom and work up without any promotional silliness in the way. That's part of the fun!
