Not a deal, but I don't even see this up for pre-order at Amazon yet. I don't know how long it's been up, but I checked a little over a week ago and it wasn't up.

Just a heads up.

Nice I was wondering when this would be put up. Going to pre-order this one in store.

these msrp threads are getting old. i know, just don't read it if i don't care. how many msrp threads are on the first two pages though on our 'deals' site?

No more local co-op = no buy at full price for me :(
And perhaps we can have a master thread for all MSRP preorders. Or do we already have one?

Edit: keep reading the thread, co op features are...complicated...

As soon as I read this, I thought, "I wonder how long it will be until some wet blanket comes in and complains about this being the deal thread." Turns out, just two replies. I, for one, appreciated the heads up.

If it weren't for some MSRP topics, a lot of people may have missed out on some collector's and limited editions. It's not technically a deal, but if you miss out, you'll have to pay out the ass somewhere else for it, so in that regard it saves you money.

This isn't a CE, but it's good to know they are taking pre-orders, and details for potential alternate editions may start to trickle in soon.

quietly hoping they have a exclusive offer like a steel book or something

Is this going to be a collector's edition?

Going to buy this day one. Not sure whether to buy this at gamestop or to see if they have a collectors edition.

I think I am done with Gamestop for good after last week. I picked up my ni no kuni preorder from them on Tuesday and had the sales guy try to keep my steelbook until I finally reminded him it came with that steelbook that was right next to the game when he pulled it out of the drawer then he informed me for an extra $3 they would guarantee my game in the event it didn't work when I got home. So now we have to pay an insurance fee so that they will stand behind the product they sell? Forget that.

Wha? No more local co-op in Tales? Lame.

I like that boxart, if thats the one they go with.

AFAIK there are no announced special editions for this game yet.

Yeah, due to the link-arte or whatever it's called, at least that what I heard last time.

I had so much fun experiencing Graces together with the Mrs. Disappointed.

Of course you need insurance, gamestop is selling you their used games as new!

Due to Ni No Kuni I don't see myself picking this up right away unless they offer something truly awesome; like a steel book case or something. Otherwise I'm gonna have to wait for a price drop

I hope they offer CE before 3/31 so we can use ni no kuni $20 cancellation code.

That's a shame. I haven't known anyone who's wanted to play local Tales since Symphonia so it doesn't really impact me, but it was still nice to have a multiplayer option in a RPG.

A note to all Tales fan. NB said that they looking at Xillia sales to see whether they should continue publishing the series outside of Japan. So if this one doesn't sell well it could mean the end of the Tales series in NA/EU.
