More on the MLB 10 Pre-Order Bonus

As first noted last month the classic stadiums being advertised for MLB 10: The Show are actually being provided as downloadable content and won’t be included in the game. Not only has the pre-order bonus of a code to download the six stadiums reappeared on Gamestop but the same offer is now being made on Amazon.

No word on how much these stadiums will cost otherwise or whether they’ll be available individually or only as the full group. Generally I wouldn’t see anything wrong with extra stadiums being offered as DLC except that the the marketing for the game so far has implied that the stadiums are a part of the game.
