THE BUZZ: For those pre-ordering the hotly anticipated Wii RPG Xenoblade Chronicles, doing so from GameStop will now net you an extra bonus.

EGM’s TAKE: Nintendo today announced that all pre-orders for the game will received an “exclusive” art book, no doubt featuring a vast array of absolutely lovely Xenoblade Chronicles-related artwork.

The deal is for US consumers only, and as of now, seems to only be for pre-orders done through GameStop. So, you know, if you instead pre-ordered directly from Nintendo—a move which seemed perfectly sensible—you might want to weep softly to yourself for a few moments.
