Day 1 buy

Heads up for anyone interested in the Max Payne 3 Special Edition: the last day to pre-order anywhere according to rockstar is the 15th, which is tomorrow, so put in your orders now D;

Whoa, what? 39.99 special edition on release?

I'll buy it just because of that.

Fighting Game, think Arcana Heart.

Debating on which CE of FFXIII-2 to buy the bf for his birthday...does anyone know when you get to fight omega to add him to the party? That dlc would be pretty much a waste in my mind if you end up fighting him near the end of the game, and the best buy novel is online already on most websites so BB is out. Thanks for the info if anyone knows!

Eh, from what I've heard, he can be challenged earlier on. He's in a special colloseum that only has DLC creatures fightable in it and is near impossible to beat at earlier points. So it's more of a later-game thing.

It's about having the physical item, lol, of course the text is going to go online.

Get him the serah costume

I decided to hold out on FFXIII-2 for now....the first one was just okay to me and I don't really need the soundtrack or artbook for now, if it drops in price then I may pick one up but no big loss. I am going to pick up the CE's of SoulCalibur, SFxT, and ME3 for sure, I've always been a fan of CE's when it comes to a game I was going to get anyways.

Originally Posted by Vigilante No, I understood that the book was only with first-print copies from BBY, it's just that one of the reasons I pre-ordered from there was that I thought the book was the better pre-order bonus due to being a physical item that might become one of the rarer pre-order bonuses. If all first-print copies at BBY have the book, though, it becomes a far less appealing "bonus" to me (especially since you can just read the contents of the book online for free).

Originally Posted by htz I think he meant that all first run copies that are going to best buy will contain the pre-order bonus. Since the first run copies of games that go to best buy usually contain the pre-order bonus inside the games packaging. Normally gamestop has the pre-order dlc code on the receipt and amazon emails the pre-order dlc code. But best buy has some special arrangement where the pre-order dlc code is packaged inside the game from the factory. Even though final fantasy viii-2 pre-order bonus is a physical item, it is still going to be packaged with the game. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....category&h=403 Me personally, I don't think the book is worth it content wise... https://finalfantasyxiii2.wordpress.com/episode-i/ Rather save on tax/gas/use the $10 credit toward the collectors edition guide that is going for $20.99 @ amazon.

Ok, so the reason I said first print run copies is because historically, with past preorders that have items packaged in/with the game, you see a bunch on the shelf that are not preorders. Its the normal first shipment. Examples that come to mind: Mortal Kombat (sub-zero), LOTR: WITN.

If you look at the pages for both FF XIII-2 and SCV, both games say that the exclusive bonuses come packaged with the game and nothing about it being a pre-order only bonus. Both items state "while supplies last." Hope this helps to clarify.

Yeah, thanks for the clarification. I've got some serious thinking to do, though...

Should I keep my FFXIII-2 CE BBY preorder for an ultimately useless book? Should I cancel it and get it at Amazon or Gamestop instead for DLC that (hopefully) might be available later (as an aside, I have it preordered at Amazon for $75.99 after 5% Quick Picks discount, so I'd be saving ~$9 buying from Amazon because of no tax)? If so, which preorder bonus(es) is/are better? I have credit at Amazon and GS (about $103 at each), and I was hoping to get the ME3 CE at GS for the bonus gun, but if I went with GS for the FFXIII-2 CE, I'd be inclined to get the ME3 CE elsewhere to save money, though I wouldn't get any bonus.

Book looks nice, if you don't want it for that, then go Amazon.

anyone know if the ff13-2 ce comes with a jewel case? things like the batman arkham city ce made me uneasy.

Anyone know when the Ninja Gaiden 3 CE is available for preorder?

Nice. The free value shipping code SAVER doesn't work anymore. It's been a while since I ordered from GS. Is there a new code for free value shipping?

Jesus Christ my wallet is going to be hurting next month.. actually.. PSP CEs aren't that in demand.. I'll wait.

The link said Hakouki: demon of the fleeting blossom is a game meant for girls. It is a visual graphic type game and you can get into relations with one of the many male characters. Wtf?
