Awesome Dead Rising 2 Pre-Order Bonus
Commence the zombification process.Published: 9:30, 29/07/2010 by Josh [JoshHood].
3Extra character skins? Who cares. Free DLC? Not interested. Art cards? You’re kidding me. Capcom have unveiled the pre-order bonus for Play.com here in the UK, and in the process raised the bar for any future pre-order goodies.
By ordering the game from the online retailer, you gain access to MyDeadRising2.com, a special site that will allow you to upload a picture of yourself, ‘zombify’ it, and then send the image off to be added to your own personal version of the game’s cover art.
Capcom will then print your unique cover at the same quality and size as the original and mail it out to you to switch with the much less exciting cover that comes with the game. Codes to access the website will apparently be sent out the week of the game’s release on October 1st.
Our recommendation: zombify a picture of your closest loved one for the cover to ensure you are mentally prepared for the eventual and inevitable zombie apocalypse.

Yeah, but half shabby, and will have to cut to fit etc etc

Me!
Contrary to popular internet beleif, not everyone is handy with photoshop. And like Blue Heeler said, even if you could create it your self it’s still not going to be the same quality as what capcom is going send you.
Hopfully this makes it ouside of the UK as well.

Imagine the scenario. I pre-order the game, access the website and upload a picture of Michael Jackson, zombify his image [insert jokes here], get the customized cover sent to me and then swap it in the box for the original. A few months later I take the game in to GAME for a trade-in and low and behold, a picture of zombie Michael Jackson on the shelf!

Creepy, but you do raise a good point – What happens when i am sick of the game & decide to trade it in? Will i see my zombified face in GAME’s pre-owned shelves in the months to come?
I guess the idea is that you keep the original sleeve somewhere safe, but considering how slack my brain can be sometimes, it may be foreaver lost to ‘the void’ once it is removed & placed somewhere for ‘safe’ keeping!

That’s incredible. Very few games can make me pre-order straight away with the free stuff you get for ordering in advance.

This was done on either a football or football manager game before – you were able to put your name and number on the back of the shirt on the box.
