Resistance 3 is getting ready for its upcoming release in September, so Insomniac Games, its developer, and Sony, its publisher, have now showcased the bonus items those who pre-order the game will receive.

Resistance 3 is set to take the first-person shooter's story forward, with a new protagonist and a grittier take on the fictional war between humans and the evil Chimera monsters.

Now, in order to spice things up for those who want to pre-order the PlayStation 3 exclusive title, Insomniac Games has detailed what bonus in-game or real life items are going to be available for them in North America.

Those who pre-order Resistance 3 from GameStop are going to receive a very special real life necklace, decorated with Chimera teeth, just like the one sported by the new hero of the upcoming game, Joseph Capelli.

Those who get the game from Wal-Mart are going to receive a set of custom name titles for the multiplayer mode, including The Sentinels, which, in case you're not familiar with the Resistance mythos, are the elite special forces of humanity that try to prevent the Chimera from completely obliterating the human race.

Pre-orders from Amazon earn customers the No. 60 Air Fuel Grenade, a fan favorite weapon, which can be used only in the single-player campaign of the game and, according to the developer, makes fighting groups of Chimera that much easier, especially in closed spaces.

Fans of Nathan Hale, the protagonist of the first two Resistance games, might want to pre-order the new game from Best Buy, as they'll get a special multiplayer skin for the online mode, depicting Hale just how he was at the end of the second title.

What's more, besides the multiplayer skin, Best Buy customers are also getting an exclusive multiplayer ability to taunt their fallen enemies.

Those who get Resistance from other US retailers or from Canada are getting special multiplayer skins that dress up their characters as the mysterious Black Ops troops from the campaign.

Resistance 3 is set to appear exclusively on the PlayStation 3 on September 6.
