Pre-order bonuses for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions include exclusive outfits, vehicles, missions, and, oddly, clobber and moves inspired by MMA fighter Georges St. Pierre. Check out the Sleeping Dogs site for more on what you get where.

Goodies for the PC edition are to be announced "at a later date," publisher Square Enix says.

Here's a recent look at some vehicular Hong Kongfoolery:

  Saw and played this as PAX East. I think it has to kinda grow on you as I was not too impressed at first but then I started liking it the more I play.
  
  Will be purchasing this for PC when it comes out! :)

    I actually thought it looked a little bit better than I expected in the demo. The setting and environments were definitely cool and I like the way he was hopping over fences etc in that chase scene.

  Alice, this is not sarcastic nor is it a gripe, but I love it when your British-isms show in your writing. Crime 'em up. :D
