GameStop Offers Fake Money for GTA: Chinatown Pre-Orders

GameStop's latest exclusive pre-ordering bait will give gamers virtual cash and guns in Take-Two's upcoming Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for DS.

By pre-ordering the game at the retailer, consumers will get $10,000 in "cold hard Liberty City cash" and immediate access to the game's entire arsenal from the start of play.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars launches on March 17 in the U.S.

GameStop's exclusive pre-order bonuses are an increasingly common means of drawing consumers into stores, although bonus items are typically those of the physical variety, such as soundtrack CDs and game-related trinkets.
