Recently Gamestop updated their listing (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=270389) for the US release of Heavy Rain stating that the Pre-Order bonus code to download first chapter of the Heavy Rain Chronicles, The Taxidermist would be delayed.
Due to a delay by the publisher, this content will not be available for download until Thursday, March 4, 2010.
