I got the following via email from THQ…
While supplies last, those who pre-order WWE ’13 at GameStop in the US can get an exclusive in-game CM Punk ice cream bar t-shirt, while in Canada, it comes with all pre-orders placed at EB Games. The t-shirt pays homage to nearly two decades of WWE’s popular dessert manufactured by Good Humor—ice cream bars that featured imprints of several WWE Superstars. Available for purchase in the 80s and 90s, the ice cream bar returned to popularity in 2011 as part of CM Punk’s on-air revolution, which players can now relive again through a digital version.
Ray’s Opinion
I guess getting this t-shirt means more to a gamer than to someone like me who isn’t the biggest gamer. Although I am all for bringing the ice-cream bars back, I just don’t see the big deal of getting an in-game digital t-shirt version of one. I understand what THQ are doing here, it’s a smart way of selling their product. I’m more interesting in reading your thoughts if you’re a gamer. I will be buying WWE’ 13 by the way, it’ll be the first wrestling game since SvR 2011. So please let me know your thoughts!

Plus, after eating the bars, I wouldn’t be able to fit in the shirt!

I certainly hope the graphics turn out better than that; Punk’s face doesn’t look right.
I rarely (like once) pre-order things, so no ice-cream shirt for me. Besides, I’d rather him be in the white Best in the World shirt.

Yeah it isn’t the greatest of graphics. There’s more here – http://www.wwe.com/inside/thq/wwe-13/wwe-13-exclusive-screenshots-photos/ and they’re not the greatest IMO.

God, some of those look awful! It seems they get more “bubbly” every year.

Yeah. I can’t believe how bad the wrestler’s look. I’m not so keen on buying it now. The main reason I was going to pre-order it was because of the cover; it’s sick. Not so sure after seeing the SS now.

The only reason I’m buying it is the cover and the possibility that “revolution” story may be somewhat interesting. Everything else (graphics, AI, gameplay, modes, ect) I expect nothing new from WWE12, which was horrible.
Seriously, I wish THQ would get it together; haven’t enjoyed any WWE game since like the second SvR. Every game has been a carbon copy of the previous, just with a different roster. And the new modes they’ve tried to introduce since then, have fallen flat; Universe and RTWM being the biggest duds imo. Don’t even get me started on how CAW has deteriorated into complete garbage.

I didn’t even buy WWE’ 12. No clue what it’s like apart from reading a couple of reviews. Since the SvR series the original one was by far the greatest IMO. Hopefully WWE’ 13 can be its own ”revolution”.
