The UK pre-order incentives for superhero MMO Champions Online - released here for PC on September 4th - have been announced.

Anyone willing to place an order for the game now will get to play it quite a bit between now and then, since you get guaranteed beta access followed by a week's head start on the live servers.

You'll also receive a few exclusive in-game items - a couple of cosmetic modificaitons and a damage resistance boost.

Play.com and Amazon.co.uk have already opened their pre-order books, Gamestation and HMV do so on Friday and Game follows suit on Monday.

Plenty more, including hands-on beta impressions, at the Champions Online gamepage.
