While gamers can get bonus missions for Far Cry 2 by pre-ordering through Gamestop, those of you interested in purchasing the PC version might want to check out Steam's pre-order offer. It's not as sexy as bonus missions but it will save you some cash.

Starting today, pre-ordering Far Cry 2 on Steam will save you $5 on the retail price. The order expires on October 22nd, when the game becomes available via Steam and pre-orders simply become...orders.

Yes, free bonus missions are hot, especially if there's six of them. But still, odds are that these bonus missions, if and when they're released for the PC, would be free anyway. As far as waiting an extra day, well, you've waited four years for the Far Cry sequel so suck it up.
