I don't remember if Japan got a free gift with Nintendogs, but I know that they released Nintendog plushies, DS cases, keychains, etc...

So I was checking the release date on EBGAMES and I saw that the NA version had a preorder bonus...

I suppose I could carry my DS around in it, but it's not even close to

NA pre-order bonuses are horrid. I'm amazed that specialty stores like EB don't have better partnerships with publishers to ensure good promotional items. I'm certainly not pre-ordering Nintendogs for something so weak.
 
My Japanese firends are pack-rats, their appartments in Chiba have little to no wiggle room because of all the promos....their campaigns could use less freebies for the health and well being of the Japanese consumer.
 
I think its a culture thing. Americans are more likely to preorder and then cancel/return just for the bonus item. Japanese will more likely end up and keep the game to. (though I'm sure its a problem everywhere)
