Ive already preordered from bestbuy. IGN gave it a great review and it sounds like similar opinions from other sites. I'm very excited for this one!

Did you get the special price?

Best Buy is also selling it for 38.83 for the first three days.

Well, from my perspective, I rarely go back and play games I have bought that don't have online play - later would trade them in or sell them crazy cheap.

So then really you're just saying the replay value sucks for you. Not people in general. Whether a game has online play has no factor at all to whether I buy a game or not.

Then ignore my post? Seems like you take my posts in a negative way to heart.

And obviously you take mine in a negative way as well. To me you just made it sound in your original post like you were trying to state a fact and not an opinion that it has no replay value. I was just pointing out that not everyone needs online play in order to find replay value in a game.

Did you do it online? If so is he getting shipped to you? I wanted to do it online and pick it up in the store, but it won't let me....

thats odd. I was creating an account, and when I was entering shipping address it had an asterisk next to it that said they could not ship to PO boxes, maybe there was something more that i missed

I have both my box and street address listed but since we have no street boxes here the post office just puts a parcel card in my mail box.

I ordered the game, since $38.83 is an unheard of price for a new release (especially one that looks decent). I also paid the $1.99 so I can sit on my ass and wait for it to come to me =D. I really liked the demo. The fighting was fun and dropping down to snag an unsuspecting baddie is pretty sweet.

I traded in some old games and pre-ordered NHL 10 as well yesterday. Throw in some Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed 2 and God of War 3 over the next few months and this will be a great year for games.

God of War 3 is 2010. Anyway I am going at midnight or a bit after and picking it up at Wal-Mart. I don't go to bed super late anyway, and I really want it.

I'll be leaving here in 5 minutes to head to the Wal-Mart by Deerfoot mall. I know stores got it 3-4 days ago, I just hope they sell it to me, but I'm sure more people will show up as well. GTA IV there was 80 or so people, and that game was much bigger. I hope they sell it, and it isn't too busy, but I will find out in 15 minutes, I'm off now.
