Amazon gets in on the Dragon Age preorder stampede
Amazon has joined up with the million other places offering preorder incentives for Dragon Age: Origins.
Should you choose to get your copy through the online retailer, Amazon will give you a $10 gift card, and the Lion’s Paw Boots – an in-game item that adds to the player’s armor, dodge and missile evasion attributes.
Next up, preorders from the Dollar Tree will net you the Merchant’s ring that has +1 Persuasion, along with a bag of holding and a Tiefling-skin cloak with +7 Charisma and 15% fire negation.
Ok, that was a joke. The Dollar Tree does not sell games. And we made those items up.
The whole gambit of preorder deals can be found over on D’toid in a nicely condensed list and no trace of failed wit.

The Lion Boots have been with Amazon this entire time since August when Bioware announced the new release date.
Dollar tree is a dollar store everything inside the store is dollar usually outdated, discontinued items and just shit people simple don’t buy in other retail stores.

Most items at the Dollar Tree are so old and outdated they are practically dangerous.

Hmm I pre-ordered my copy from GAME, because of the cheap price and I had £2.50 off anyways. Does anyone know if they are planning to do anything on the normal edition?

@ Steph
I remember going in one when I was living in California and I swear a plate had a warning stating that if you eat food off of it, you may have chance of getting cancer.

@ Phoenix – Yikes! How are they allowed to sell that then!
A local $ tree here was fined for selling fabric softner that was designed for Korea. Apparently, the ingredients approved by the FDA here are not the same as over there.
One time, a friend of mine in college bought a Revlon Deodorant there and it scalded her underarms and she had to go to the dermatologist over it. I stay away from those places.

I think they are allowed to sell it because everything gives cancer. I know Sweet and Low has a warning on the back stating the same thing.

America sounds like a dangerous place, even without the guns.

@ Hunam: America is a dangerous place, thats why i love going there >_>
Plus american chicks (especially college chicks) love english accents!
Hard getting past homeland security though. They think everyone is a terrorist.
