Shift 2: Unleashed gets exclusive Pagani Huayra, delayed a week in EU

EA says that Shift 2: Unleashed will be the first video game to feature the Pagani Huayra supercar, the Italian manufacturer's followup to the popular Zonda series that's due to arrive in the US later this year. You can see the $1 million, 700 horsepower set of wheels in the trailer after the break.

EU folks will have to wait just a little bit to get behind the wheel. The game was originally announced for release in that region on March 24, but EA is now saying it'll be on shelves March 31. The North American date hasn't changed; it will be out on Tuesday, March 29, as planned.

Looking for a special something to make that Homefront pre-order more attractive? Pay attention then, as pre-order bonuses have been revealed ... if you buy from the right retailer, that is. For those into more tangible bonuses, Best Buy is offering Homefront branded headsets for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game (pictured). Meanwhile, GameStop and the UK's GAME are offering an exclusive weapon and some day one item unlocks. Specifically, GameStop pre-orders will receive the 870 Express Shotgun, air recon drone, auto repair ability and the SCAR L. GameStop's offer applies to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PS3 versions of the game.

The Homefront Facebook page doesn't mention it, but Amazon has a few pre-order goodies of its own, namely some Xbox 360 or PS3 avatar outfits, a digital mini guide and a $10 credit toward a future game purchase.
