Capcom, Crytek and Turn 10 have posted extra details regarding exclusive content and unlocks included in the Day One Editions of Dead Rising 3, Ryse: Son of Rome, and Forza Motorsport 5, respectively.

Day One Editions are special SKUS including exclusive content and are available only through pre-order at retail or through Xbox Live for the first two weeks after launch.

Here’s the list of content:

Dead Rising 3 Day One Edition: Dead Rising Tribute Pack featuring exclusive game content and bonus attribute perks.

 

• Classic Frank West outfit with Frank’s Zombie Slugger weapon, extra gory attacks and a custom skill move. Also includes attribute perks for increased melee damage and tougher survivors.
• Official Chuck Greene outfit with Paddle Saw combo weapon that cuts through zombie hordes with increased damage and durability. Also includes attribute perks for vehicle and weapon durability.

Ryse: Son of Rome Day One Edition – Exclusive Gladiator Mode Unlockables:

• The Day One Edition of Ryse: Son of Rome will give players access to an exclusive Gladiator Mode Co-Op Multiplayer Map and an exclusive Sword add-on. Owners of the Day One Edition will be able to invite friends who own the Standard Edition to join them on the exclusive map.
• Legionnaire’s Trust Exclusive Sword: From the Brotherhood of Metalworkers high in the Swiss Alps comes this well-crafted, finely hammered blade that includes bonus in-game attributes.
• Ruins: Placing gladiators among the columns of an abandoned temple, Ruins will pit players against hordes of Barbarians, attacking from around every corner. The arena changes dynamically during gameplay, adding new obstacles and objectives for the player to encounter and overcome.

Forza Motorsport 5 Day One Car Pack - Three-car pack features Lamborghini, Audi, and Ford; each with a Day One-themed livery and custom tuning package created by Turn 10:

• 2010 Audi TT RS Coupe: Stuffed stem to stern with modern tech, the TT RS is the first TT model to carry Audi’s famed RS badge – a distinction that’s earned on the track from the moment you step on the gas.
• 2013 Ford Focus ST: Debuting with the same 247-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine from the much larger Ford Explorer SUV, the new Ford Focus ST packs a serious punch.
• 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera: Like great sculpture, the Superleggera’s chiseled form is carefully considered for maximum impact. That’s where the similarities end, however, because this work of art is best appreciated when it’s moving at top speed.

I really hate day one preorder content. "Hey buy our game now before reading any reviews or talking to anyone about it!!!"

I like the incentives for Dead Rising 3. Unfortunately, I don't have money for preordering.

The content is available for 2 weeks after launch

Unless you want a physical copy of the game.

my bad miss interpited what they were saying but i guess thats the risk of waiting for the reviews  but its still a better system then what we currently have since even if you wait u can still get the same content

that's awesome... 2 full weeks for DD.... now I know for sure I will not buy any crappy disc dust collecting useless box unless I am forced or the deal is really too sweet...

We as brainless and impatient gamers allowed and nurtured this business pratice that's turning each year more ridiculous for us. On the other note this is a great business opportunity for the devs and pubs.

me I feel like the most dedicated fan deserve to be rewarded... after all they take a chance when buying in pre order at retail.... and if it sucks well the extra stuff doesn't matter.... so yeah I hate to miss out on stuff but I completely think it is a good thing... I loved it when I use to pre order stuff.... they were even the reason sometimes....

The problem I se in this is that, the content rewarded to the impatients are "sliced off" parts of the original game. Not all the dev teams do this but look at Street Fighter series since 4. It's been a downloadable content fest for the highest bidder.
