...a brand-new, impossibly soft plushie doll! Yes, of all games, Elebits is the first to offer an incentive to pre-order...to be honest, it probably needs it. The dolls will be either red or blue, and feature absolutely no way to tell until you actually open your box and the creature springs out to begin feasting on your brain. This action will, perhaps, increase the enjoyment of the game, but with any luck, maybe it won't be necessary.Nice boxart for the doll, though. Is anyone considering picking this game up at launch? With one of the strongest launch lineups in video game history, it's going to be difficult to justify spending even more on this quirky little concept...
[Update 1: Okay, some stores in Australia had been giving out a whole bunch of coupons for pre-ordering the Wii itself. We refer here to the first pre-order bonus for a single game.]

The game looks really neat, I love the emphasis on exploration, so I'll definitely be picking it up on day one. One day people will be jealous of my Elebits plush toy. You just wait!

A year ago, I might have fallen for this ploy, but as it stands, I have neither the room nor want to own yet another plushie. I have far too many as it stands for a man of my manliess.
Also, Elebits really looks like more of a renter. Who knows? Maybe the mulitplayer will be purchase-worthy, but until I've played it, I'm not going to take any chances.

Aww... c'mon, be nice to Elebits. Isn't it what the Wii is all about anyways - new quirky concepts?
It looks pretty fun, but I'm not sure I'll need to pre-order it, even though I'll be missing out on a doll. I won't be picking it up on day one, but certainly soon after launch.

If I were to magically get enough cash for two games, yes, I may get Elebits. It's cute.
And a plushie~!

Oh, I'm planning to buy this game from the videos I've seen. The thing is, I WOULD buy it at launch if I COULD, but there's 3 games called Zelda, Metroid, and Red Steel that have prioroty over that, and I probably will only buy Zelda at the launch date. If I had the money, time, and whatnot, I would be getting all four of those games, plus even Wii Sports and Rayman.
Picking up the doll is a different story. Oh, I would buy this game at launch, but not because of the doll.

Why bother pre-ordering this game? It's not like it's gonna be sold out.

I am not interested enough in this game to buy it, but I do feel sorry for it. It looks like it's trying so hard, but there's just something about it that I can't get over...
I hope it at least finds a good audience with the kids!

This game combines two of my great loves: tearing apart rooms and adorable little fuzzy things.

The game looks good, and I'll probably pick it up eventually. My real question is, with a pre-order ship date of 10/2, that should mean the Wii should be released prior to that....right?

All Wii games should come with a freebie. Now that would be cool
