Yeah, had to wait like 20 minutes for them to sift through some boxes, the first shipment they tried didn't have it, so I had to wait 15 minutes for them to get their other shipment out (the big crates with tons of different boxes). Was only me and 7 other people by the time I left.

I am starting it up now, watching the opening video. This game is going to rock!

Pretty awesome so far. Been playing for about 3 hours and I made it to Bane before I decided I should get some sleep

Game is $7.67 right now at future shop! Ordered 2 for In store pick up, before they fix the error. Will be interesting to see if they honour the price.

Wow, just went to their site, out of stock now. Must be an error, because 69.99-31.16=38.83 which is the price it should be for the 3 days. I wonder if they honor it, or don't.

I am trying to do pick up, but can't find the "change store" button.

Edit: I was able to do it. Now we'll see what they say when I show up tomorrow, if they want full price, boy am I going to raise hell.

Edit: Just read their Terms and Conditions and it says "We reserve the right to limit quantities available for sale or sold, and the right at any time to reject, correct cancel or terminate any order for any reason whatsoever. If the price of any product you order was incorrectly displayed on our Web Site, we will provide you with an opportunity to place an order at the correct price."

So I think you're SOL. I tried but they rejected my credit card. I don't know why they do (they have before), everyone else takes it (bestbuy.ca).

Just picked it up from my local Wal-Mart upon opening. Can't hardly wait to come home tonight to try it out. Off to work!

BTW: Futureshop had a major pricing error on their site the other day where everything was $32 off. I ordered like 3 games and eventually it was cancelled for everyone.

The game takes about 2 hours to get into for everyone planning on getting it. A lot of dialogue and story/cut scenes in the beginning and it takes sometime to get into.

I just beat *minor spoiler* Bane and it is really getting good now.

BTW, that Futureshop thing that the game was $7.67 for, someone went to Wal-Mart and price matched it. I wonder it it will work, I have a picture of the mishap on my computer. I'll print it off and check it out in a few hours to see if it works.

That might actually be the only way to do it. Very smart thinking!

This is probably the best 3rd person type game I've ever played.

It's very very VERY well polished/finished.

Yeah, best part is it has worked for someone, I never thought of price-checking it. Worked for someone else, I will try it later today. If it works, I'll report back.

I thought of taking a screen shot just in case, good thing I did I guess.

Damn right. I took a screenshot of a zellers ad and showed it to a walmart employee on my iphone and that worked ... I think the trick is to show somebody at customer service that knows nothing about video games. If I was the employee I would DEFINITELY check the futureshop website because I would assume you'd shopped the photo.

edit: Just got my "your item has shipped" email. Good times!

Looks like I'm one of the unlucky ones who have to wait for Bestbuy's warehouse to get another shipment. Oh well, I have a bunch of other games I need to finish anyway.

Just a heads up, if you buy it at walmart you get armored batsuit and at ebgames you get the dem bones challenge map which will end up being dlc down the road.

Thanks for the heads up. I believe you get the armor after beating the game as well...I'm mainly going to FS so I can trade in a couple of games and get it for free
