As a Life-Time member - I am not too excited about this - I don't need to buy the game again - but a way to get the "Perks" would be a nice Member reward!

Very nice move by Turbine getting Warner Bros to get the game on store shelves.   This was the company that pretty much decided who won the Blu-ray vs HD-DvD battle.
