I'm not a fan of ingame pre-order bonuses, unless they're purely cosmetic, and definitely not when they're exclusive to certain stores.
On the plus side, they seem to be only fairly minor charm bonuses that you would pick up during gameplay anyway, not like a 'pre-order our game to get a unique weapon that we cut out of the main game' thing. Or worse, a pre-order mission like the one from Deus Ex HR. Lets hope they stick with these kind of bonuses for the European pre-orders as well.
Still, pre-ordering games is not something I do because of pre-order bonuses that basically make the game a little easier. If I could throw away those 10,000 credits I get in Deus Ex HR because I bought the Augmented Edition, or spend them all on lemon lime soda, I would. But the bonuses for Dishonored seem to be fairly minor.
