Namco Bandai has just announced an amazing incentive to preorder Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3 at certain stores – downloadable content (dlc). That’s right, you’ll get free stuff, only available by a direct download, if you decide to preorder the game at GameStop/EB Games or GameCrazy.

What is surprising, is that this deal is an Amazon exclusive. Typically, Natsume preorder bonus items are available at most major game retailers, but only Amazon’s offering the extra incentive this time around…

On October 7, 2008, Telltale’s Sam & Max: Season One will be available in stores for $29.99 – not bad, considering you’re getting six episodes. Fans of the game may have already picked up the PC version of Sam & Max: Season One when it came out in August, 2007, but the Wii version has a few improvements, like widescreen support.

The Wii version of Sam & Max: Season One also has a preorder deal through GameStop. If you place a preorder, you get an extra CD with your game that has…
