Namco Bandai is holding a joint press event with their North American and European branches, but it appears part of the news from that event might have leaked as a press booklet has leaked which reveals an European release date for Tales of Graces f.
Tales of Graces f (the f stands for "future") has an extra post-game story which takes place after the game's original ending. Without spoiling anything, there seems to be an increase in the monster population, which increases the amount of monster attacks around the world. This causes Asbel and his group to set off once again to determine the cause behind the recent disturbance.

Last week, GameStop's Canadian branch announced that Tales of Graces f's western debut in North America would include some special pre-order DLC. Namco Bandai has now officially announced said DLC for a U.S. release alongside Canada.

The DLC in the U.S. is the same as Canada, right down to the costumes and the special custom PS3 theme. However, if you had pre-ordered the game at Amazon you are out of luck as Namco Bandai has confirmed that the pre-order DLC is exclusive to GameStop and will not be offered as paid DLC post-launch. This is similar to the Japanese release which followed the same rules sans retailer exclusivity.
Those who were wondering if Namco Bandai would offer pre-order bonuses for Tales of Graces f are in luck as GameStop's Canadian branch has announced pre-order bonuses for the game.

According to the website, all pre-order copies will receive the same three DLC costumes and the two PS3 themes that were offered to consumers during the game's original Japanese release. As of now GameStop's North American branch nor Amazon (either branch) has yet to announce the same bonuses, so it's not clear if this is exclusive to Canada and/or GameStop or if said bonuses will be available globally.

It appears that said posters will be going up this Monday and that apparently Tales of the Abyss 3DS might be getting a poster as well (reports are suggesting that a placeholder box for pre-order purposes has already shown up for the Nintendo 3DS title). It's not currently know how many GameStops will be putting this up, however.
