Early Prototype 2 Buyers get ‘Radnet Edition’ Bonuses, Tons of Free DLC

Activision has announced that early buyers of Prototype 2 will gain access to the “Radnet Edition” of the game, an upgrade that will provide 55 pieces of additional DLC for free.

“This weekly scheduled content will include in-game Events, Challenges, Avatar Items, Dynamic Themes and Behind-the-Scenes videos, as well as bonus Mutations for PROTOTYPE 2′s main campaign.

Fans that participate in ALL of RADNET’s weekly challenges and events will unlock the ultimate shape-shifting reward…to be revealed in March 2012.  PROTOTYPE 2′s RADNET Edition content will only be available for free while supplies last.”

As many are likely to point out, the model of rewarding your fan base as opposed to punishing used game buyers is just more sensible. If you give a gamer the choice between a $60 game that comes with 55 free DLC downloads, and a $40-$50 game that doesn’t, I’m confident that most will lean towards the new copy.

Will this model pan out for Activision and its sales of the game? Only time will tell.
