I think it's safe to say that there wont be pre order bonuses.
CDPR said multiple times that you shouldn't pre order and that everyone get's the same stuff when they buy the game.
Also TW3 had free DLC (armor, haircuts, etc.) for everyone no matter when or where they bought the game.

I actually don't mind physical stuff as a pre-order bonus. Something in the line of a shirt or poster, just something minor. What I hate in games though is game content and yes a skin or gun counts, I don't want to be excluded just because I might not pre-order but buy it physical or wait a month because no money or to wait what the press says. I want a full game, no matter where and when I buy a game.

this is how it spirals into worse things though. Next it's 'just' a DLC with cosmetic items for $5.
Not the way I'd put it, but yeah, pre-orders are a really, really bad idea. Once the company has your money, there's no incentive for them to do better. I'm not saying CD Projekt Red will go there, but it is a wide road that many others have taken.
physical things are fine I'm talking about stuff like extra missions, skins for weapons, exclusive clothes....and worst of all...exclusive cyberware

Yep I thought though and I am completely with you there, that's really, really awful.
Or the newest trend, early access to the game... Looking at you Hitman! (even though that's part of the gold edition only but it sucks anyway) ¬¬

I tend to avoid EA (sorry, early access, but yeah the other one too) for two reasons. 1) As with pre-orders, once the developer has your money there's a lot less of an incentive to finish the product. And 2) you can play the game to the point whereby you feel like you've had enough. You can simply end up with memories of a buggy and unfinished product and have no desire to go back and play it again upon release.
I don't mind it. It's about the least harmful anti-consumer practice out there. But I understand the slippery slope, so I'm not saying I want it, either. Just don't care either way.
The only thing I'd appreciate in a pre-order is a substantial discount...
