The all important pre-order bonus is becoming more and more of an incentive to purchase a game before it is released. CDV has just announced such a program for the upcoming US release of the fantasy RPG Divinity II. The game, from developer Larian Studios, will ship to stores on January 5 after previously being released in Europe.

Unfortunately for people who want to buy the PC version of the game, they will be denied a chance to get the pre-order bonus that the Xbox 360 version will receive. CDV announced that the console buyers will gain access to the in-game Blood Echelon Armor and Weapon set. It's just the latest example of PC consumers being denied a pre-order bonus and/or a special edition of a game versus their console counterparts.
