I know you can get the weapons later in the game, but I like the option of getting them from the start, even if they suck.
I'm getting the game on launch day, but not via preorder or Amazon or anything. I trust my ability to drive to the store and purchase the game more than I trust the mail to deliver the game for launch.

Why not pre-order from the store you're going to? Unless they don't do pre-orders. Sounds like a wasted Black Armor Edition opportunity, to me.
Let's hope not. It's bad enough some people get them from the start.

I'm on the fence about this. Those weapons don't look too powerful, but it's hard to tell by looking at the pictures. It's very likely that new characters wouldn't even be able to use these weapons until they get fairly leveled up anyway, but a min-max twink is possible.
I'm just hoping I can level the playing field by paying $5 to get the same equipment that they get.
the thing about weapons in dark souls is they nwed to be upgraded to be useful. I imagine these weapons will either be twinkling titanite equivalents, or like the crystal greatsword in that they would be slightly better than upgraded ones but their usefulness will fade
If I have understood it correctly you will get those weapons in the game eventualy but closer to the mid or lategame. But it would be good if someone else could verify this. Those weapons are supposed to be cosmetical only. So no advantage in PvP for anyone using them.
I can confirm
I ordered from BB, it's going to come in ALL pre-orders, yeah? The people there were less than helpful (I had a GC to best buy, so I decided to use it).
Not really cosmetic, they do have uses outside looks. Like the axe having bleeding damage, and the dagger being heavier but stronger, and also the Yellow Quartz being lighter but with less durability.
Hm, okay didn't know that.
So it COULD change early game PvP?
