Thanks for the update, malcolmhoaz! This is news to me because the Gamestop employee nor did the company website ([http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product\_ID=73003](http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product%5FID=73003)) say anything about a free movie ticket. That’s wassup! 🆒

Are we sure this isn’t a regional incentive though?

No, the downloadable [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) comes with Wal-Mart preorders… Its gold, ugly, and worthless…to me, at least.

I would definitely say gamestop, but you did leave one out. Target.

Gamestop: T-shirt, In-game GB2 uniform

Best Buy: one (possibly two) in-game characters (it is unsure as to which one(s) you get with preorder from BB because the info seems to be changing often. (At first it was a Ghoulish character AND the Mayor Jock Mulligan. Then it seemed it was JUST going to be the Ghoul, and recently there was an ad released for Best Buy w/ [Dan Aykroyd](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/people/dan-aykroyd) voicing the promotion for game & he said ONLY the Mayor Jock Mulligan. )

Wal-mart: Gold [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) (vomits a little) and i believe all 24-hour locations have a free CD given if you attend a midnight release. (the contents of the CD have yet to be determined)

Target: Put down 1 dollar & get a “collectible” preorder card and a 5 dollar gift card to be used at target.

Don’t forget Amazon with the [slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer) edition.

I am getting my 360 game from gamestop because of the T-Shirt and the GB 2 jump suit and I am getting my Wii game from amazon.

Technically that’s not a pre-order deal. That’s a full-on exclusive special edition set. [Awesome as it is](http://www.amazon.com/Ghostbusters-Amazon-com-Exclusive-Slimer-Xbox-360/dp/B0025UOYR8?s=videogames&tag=gbfans-discourse-20), it’s not the same.
