Fans that pre-order L.A. Noire from retailers will receive bonus content.

Rockstar Games has announced a slew of pre-order incentives for their upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 detective thriller L.A. Noire.

Fans that pre-order L.A. Noire from retailers including Amazon, Best Buy and GameStop will receive bonus content ranging from unlockable detective outfits to additional cases for the player to solve.

AMAZON (Pre-order): “The Broderick” Detective Suit boosts your fist-fighting capabilities and resilience to damage.

BEST BUY (Pre-order): “The Sharpshooter” Detective Suit enhances your aim with rifles and pistols.

GAMESTOP/EB Games (Pre-order): ‘The Naked City’ Vice Case. In this bonus case from L.A. Noire’s Vice Desk, detective Cole Phelps investigates the supposed suicide of a fashion model.

The Badge Pursuit Challenge: Hidden around L.A. Noire’s recreation of 1947 Los Angeles are 20 police badges to find and collect. If you can find all 20 of these badges, the dapper Button Man suit will be unlocked which provides extra ammo for all weapons. Each badge also provides 5 additional XP which will help further unlock Intuition Points – special credits that can be used to give the player a key investigative insight when you need it most.

WAL-MART (Web Pre-order or In-store Purchase on May 17): “A Slip of the Tongue” Traffic Case is a bonus case from the Traffic Desk in which a seemingly run of the mill car theft ends up sparking an investigation into the largest auto fraud racket the city has ever seen.

TARGET (Pre-order of In-store Purchase): Fans will receive either a $5 Gift Card with Pre-Order or a free Rockstar Games T-Shirt with an in-store purchase during launch week.

All incentive offers are limited in quantity and available while supplies last.
