Steam gets Dead Island bundle, pre-order exclusive
by Xav de Matos, Jul 21, 2011 1:00am PDTPublisher Deep Silver has announced that the Steam version of its upcoming open-world tropical-zombie-killing sim Dead Island is also getting a pre-order exclusive.
Included with the Steam pre-order is "The Ripper," a weapon that combines the versatility of a baseball bat and the spinning sharpness of a buzz saw. The weapon is also available to console users pre-ordering at GameStop.

Dead Island's Steam bonuses also include free access to the "Bloodbath Arena" DLC, which is also being made available for pre-order customers looking to slay zombies on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
The downloadable content will be made available "one month" following the September 6 release of Dead Island and will also priced at $10 for those that miss a chance to get the content for free.
