Saints Row 3, the new open world simulator from Volition, has just received its own pre-order bonus, and, as you can imagine, follows the outlandish, tongue-in-cheek nature of the actual title, being modeled after an in-game reality show, Professor Genki’s Super Ethical Reality Climax.

Saints Row 3 is set to take the open world franchise to new and preposterous heights, in terms of story or narrative, while polishing up the gameplay and the graphics in order to truly deliver a sandbox experience where you can do pretty much anything you want.

We've already heard quite a lot of things about Saints Row 3: The Third, so Volition has now showcased the very special pre-order bonus that can be scored by customers who buy the game in advance before its release.

Called Professor Genki’s Super Ethical Reality Climax, the bonus items are based on a Saints Row 3 reality show where contestants are put in "friendly games of life and death, where success means fabulous prizes and continued life, and failure leads to other less desirable outcomes." These games include things like Baby or Cobra, Monkey Money Grab or Professor Genki’s Super Sparkle Lab.

The Saints Row 3 "Hyper Ordinary Pre-Order Pack" includes things like a human catapult, a special cannon that shoots octopi or a unique stunt suit, and you can check it all out below. Professor Genki’s Super Ballistic Man-a-pult: Cruise Steelport in style with this vacuum-action human-cannonball truck. Suck up pedestrians and use them as live ammunition against the forces of evil, and everyone else.

Professor Genki’s "Octopuss" Cannon: Fire baby octopi onto your enemies’ heads! Watch as the octopi massage their scalps and your enemies fight for you! Enemies can be friends too!

Professor Genki's Leisure Stunt Suit: The ultimate in comfort and tight-fitting apparel, the Genki Leisure Stunt Suit is perfect for skydiving over Steelport or to wear while ejecting from high-flying fighter jets. Free Genki mask included! While the pre-order bonus is available to all those who buy regular game, Volition is also offering the Saints Row 3: The Third Platinum edition, which includes the pre-order bonus, the game, a CD with the soundtrack of the game and a very special headset that has a built-in auto-tune software and makes your voice sound like Zimos, the "premiere pimp in Saints Row 3."
