Well, to my disliking the announcement that IO has hyped on their website 
Barcode Society with a countdown set to end on May 10th. The announcement, surprise--A pre-order bonus available at Gamestop!

The pre-order bonus will be titled,
 Hitman: Sniper Challenge, it's a playable sniper mission for Hitman: Absolution. Pre-ordering 
Hitman: Absolution at your local Gamestop--for a limited time only--will earn you a code that unlocks this special sniper mission on your Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, not too sure about the PC verision.

According to the advertisement IO and Square Enix will award the top snipers in the
 Hitman: Sniper Challenge with some goodies, I hope it's some fiber wire so I can strangle myself in order to stop me from pre-ordering it at Gamestop.  Damn it, why must there be pre-order bonuses for a game that I've been looking forward to for quite awhile, if pre-ordering this will allow me to play a little Hitman until a release date is announced (snap out of it).

Not sure how many of the top snipers will be awarded and what the rewards are, I wouldn't be surprised to see Square Enix announce in detail all of my questions this Thursday, May 10th.
