Concerning Preorder Bonuses at GOG

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/preorder-bonuses-for-the-witcher-3-at-gog-will-be-f-ing-amazing/1100-6419142/

i was wondering whether only the ones who preorder at GOG will get preorder bonuses, because i am not able to purchase the game via GOG (as i don't use Paypal)
So i hope i will be able to get the same bonuses by pre-ordering a retail version (CE or only the Game), where a code for these digital bonuses at GOG is included !!
When i bought Th Witcher 1&2 as retail versions, there were also Codes to redeem a free backup copy with all the extras.
Hopefully with The Witcher 3 it will be the same !!!

You can use any debit or credit card. If you don't like using your own, buy a pre-loaded card, which only has the funds on that you explicitly place onto it, or ask someone who has joined the C20th to order it on your behalf.

Actually, I wouldn't be too confident about assuming that a pre-loaded card would work with GOG. There are banks that won't accept the payment gateway that GOG uses - my main card has always been rejected with them, and I always had to get someone to gift me and then pay them back until I changed card provider last year.

Your best bet if you want to buy from them will probably be to ask a friend who has a card, or paypal, and use gifting. But there might easily be good pre-order bonuses from other places too, so just wait and see.

I don't really care about pre-order content as long as it is available to everyone eventually. No content should ever be locked away from the fans. I don't think that is going to be an issue with CDPR, but it is always worth repeating.

There won't be any in-game exclusive preorder content, CDPR assured us of that. What the OP means, I think, are the digital goodies that usually come with a GOG edition (maps, soudtrack etc.).
And to be honest, I'm ok with different editions having extra stuff that doesn't affect the game directly, like a t-shirt or digital extras.

Precisely. Every patch or further alteration will probably be available to everyone. Enhanced edition for everybody!
I'm looking forward to buy a cool collector's box with a lot of goodies! :happy:

Yes digital content i mean^^
I would like to support CDPR directly, but paypal is (for me) not safe enough, i'm a little conservative concerning online banking^^
Hopefully we'll get to preorder soon, i'm curious about the CE and all the stuff inside!
I'm ok with different editions as long as it doesn't affect the game itself =)
Maybe i overreacted a little bit =D i like digital extras, they're pretty and handy =)
can't wait for TW 3 =)

I hope that people that preorder from places other than GOG will be able to get CDPR's wonderful digital goodies. I have several hundred bucks in my Steam Wallet and I barely buy games these days. It would be really silly for me to purchase TW3 from GOG while I sit on unused Steam $ that is likely to go unused for quite a while.
I really enjoyed the art book and soundtrack from TW2, I hope to get something similar for TW3 even if I don't buy from GOG.

I'd note that CDPR/GoG gave access to the GoG version of the EE for TW1 and TW2 regardless of where they were purchased (with automatic recognition of some steam codes, and manual intervention in some other cases).

I'm not stating that this will be the case with TW3, but it doesn't seem impossible. I personally had no experience with this, purchasing via GoG with a Visa Debit card.

I would at least like to see the artbook and Soundtrack included in every version, because i enjoyed them very much in the previous games =)

T-shirt could be OK but never better than a metal Medallion said The White Wolf!
