[1]Radical Entertainment [2] once again ramps up the studio’s signature over-the-top mayhem with the announcement of PROTOTYPE® 2’s RADNET Edition [3] content. Planned to launch on April 24, 2012 from Activision Publishing, Inc., a limited number of the launch quantities of PROTOTYPE 2 [4] on PlayStation®3 and Xbox® 360 will contain free access to RADNET via a one-time use code that gives fans 55 free pieces of additional content delivered for seven weeks following the game’s launch.
This weekly scheduled content will include in-game Events, Challenges, Avatar Items, Dynamic Themes and [5]Behind-the-Scenes videos, as well as bonus Mutations for PROTOTYPE2’s main campaign. Fans who participate in all of RADNET’s weekly challenges and events will unlock the ultimate shape-shifting reward…to be revealed in March 2012. PROTOTYPE 2’s RADNET Edition content will only be available for free while supplies last.
“Radical Entertainment has always focused on bringing long lasting fun to its fans, and PROTOTYPE 2’s RADNET content is our way of rewarding the game’s most loyal supporters — the early adopters, the one’s who will replay it over and over again,” said Ken Rosman, Studio Head, Radical Entertainment. “We think this is great because we’re giving our fans hours of additional gameplay outside PROTOTYPE 2’s main narrative, and cool rewards — all delivered weekly following the game’s launch!”

A disclaimer from Activision in the press release material states that “Activision makes no guarantees regarding the availability of online play or features, including access to or support for RADNET provided by the applicable console manufacturer, and may modify or discontinue online service in its discretion without notice, including for example, ceasing online service for economic reasons due to a limited number of players continuing to make use of the service over time.” However, the FAQ about RADNET on Radical’s site [6]states that once unlocked with the code, the RADNET content is permanently available:
Q: What happens if I don’t start playing with RADNET content until a few days or weeks after April 24th? Do I miss out on the previous week(s) Challenges/Rewards?
Answer: Once you have entered the RADNET access code from the back of your game manual, RADNET content will remain permanently available to you.
Q: Does RADNET content become unavailable after the seven weeks ending June 7th?
Answer: Once unlocked, all RADNET content will be available for you to play.
I hope EB Games is aware of this code, because I was probably the first person in the country to put a pre-order on this game back in July 2010. Looks like another phone call to the store’s manager to ensure that this is added to my list of pre-order bonuses.

Answer: RADNET access is guaranteed for any customer who pre-orders their copy of PROTOTYPE 2 prior to April 24th 2012 at participating retailers. Pre-ordering will guarantee you a copy of the limited launch quantity of the “RADNET Edition Content” for PROTOTYPE 2.
