Killzone Mercenary gets dodgy deal pre-order bonuses

When isn't a pre-order bonus a bonus? I'm comparing real things that add value to virtual guff (or cheating even) that just makes the game easier. Check out these offerings that will come for early orders of Guerilla's Killzone Mercenary exclusive for the Vita.

Players who pre-order Killzone: Mercenary will receive “Blackjack’s Briefcase,” a reward for their early support that affords them an early edge in both the game’s competitive online multiplayer and extensive Campaign mode. It includes: Double XP Boost Get out ahead of the pack! Start the 48-hour clock with this special access code and all contracts, bonuses and payoffs earn you twice the normal XP for two straight days! In-Game Cash Bonus Start the game and go straight to the armory!

With this bonus payout, you’ll have enough Vektan Cash to pick up a new weapon before you even step foot on the battlefield. In addition to the above, fans in the United States who reserve a copy of Killzone: Mercenary at GameStop will receive an exclusive gun for use in both Campaign and Multiplayer action: the M224-A1 Light Machine Gun.

A powerhouse weapon of the ISA, the M224-A1 carries more than enough ammo to get the job done at the cost of accuracy.
