'Starhawk' First Printing Will Have Free DLC, Soundtrack and Free Warhawk - Exclusive to GameStop

It's not going to cost you a dime more and you're getting a crazy amount of extra content. This is the right way to fight used game sales.
Game companies are doing what they can to deal with used game sales. They find ways to charge consumers just a bit more for their games by locking content for those that didn't pick up a brand new copy.
Instead of punishing the end user, 'Starhawk' will reward. If you buy the game new when it launches, you'll get a large amount of extra content absolutely free. It starts with the Maw of Despair Outcast Pack, which gives you a brand new co-op mission to play.
You'll also get an exclusive Homeworld, a PS3 theme, the game's soundtrack and a downloadable copy of 'Warhawk.'
That's the sort of content we'd expect to see in an ultra-expensive "Special Edition," all coming absolutely free with the first printing of the game.

'Starhawk' Coming May 8th, Beta for PlayStation Plus Members is Live
Thu Jan 19, 2012 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Starhawk, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Plus (all tags)
If you're not a PlayStation Plus member, you'll have to wait your turn. A full public beta will open up on February 21st.
The followup to 'Warhawk,' which has simply had an "early 2012" release date in the past has finally been nailed down to May 8th. Not exactly early, but at least it's a firm date.
If you're a PlayStation Plus member, or if you participated in the closed beta, you can get in on the public beta now. It's free to join and you'll be influential in finding bugs, balancing the game, figuring out server traffic and more. And, of course, you get to play the game.
Not a Plus member? If you got a 'Starhawk' beta key with 'Uncharted 3' you'll get in on January 31st. If not, there will be giveaways and other ways to get in up until February 21st when the beta goes live for all PSN members.
