Price Mistake? Isn't this suppose to be a full $60 game?

[slowpantz]

If this is an official price change...then this has me worried about the quality of this game.

[DrAndonuts]

Cool, preordered. I've been waiting on this one for a while now.

I wouldn't worry. Platinum hasn't made a bad game yet, and the JP demo is great.

[technicalstylez]

likely a price mistake, since the release date got switched from next month to Q1 2013. sorry dudes.

[barrit]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! I wonder if they would actually honor this. I know they honored the glitch with the buy War in the North and get Fear 2 and a shirt for free. (you were suppose to pay 39.99 ($20 off 59.99, but it was actually subtracting it twice, totaling out to $19.99 for everything).

If you are wondering about the quality, try out the Japanese demo (you can change the entire demo to English, and it has English and Japanese voices/subtitles options).

EDIT: I'm not a big multiplayer person, but I really liked the multiplayer for this game.

[HaLLuZiNaTiOnZ]

Well I placed an order anyway. Hopefully they honor it.

Which platform is the lead? I don't care about controllers, Blu-Ray, Xbox Live Gold, etc.; just want to play the game on the platform it performs best on.

[kube00]

Im interested and I thought it was coming this August so its been delayed...well for $30 I dont think I can say no

[Slixshot]

SAWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT!!! Thanks OP!

[technicalstylez]

my guess would be 360 due to the bayonetta experience.

updated OP cuz Sega confirmed it's coming in 2013. A long wait.

I'm pretty sure the one of the guys at Platinum said that all their games would have the PS3 as the lead platform, since things got so messed up when porting Bayonetta. I know that Vanquish had the PS3 as lead platform.

EDIT:
Yeah, here's a link stating that both Anarchy Reigns and Metal Gear Rising are using the PS3 as lead: http://www.nowgamer....g_platinum.html

The delay itself makes no sense since the game was complete and ready to ship.

[technicalstylez]

i stand corrected. good to know, since i prefer it on ps3. thanks man

This is def. a mistake on GS's behalf but placed the preorder for in store pick up.

They're using the PS3 engine mainly because Bayonetta had a lot of controversy of the PS3 version being shit. I remember when they started Vanquish, PS3 was the lead platform. Then they started to use PS3 more as their lead platform. Good idea because it's easy to convert any game to the 360, PS3 takes more time.

yea, not sure what's going on with Sega. Apparently, Platinum's Inaba tweeted that they had no clue it would be delayed either.

[JawnMan]

Sure, why not. I didn't like Bayonetta but I liked Vanquish. I got the PS3 version. Good find.

[barrit]

Agreed. Plat already said themselves it wasn't an issue with the game being finished and didn't even know about the delay until the day after it had been announced, then apologized to their Western fans.

I did a google search and some people are even saying the JP version is actually already fully localized. Of course it will cost about $80-90 though. One post is even from someone from Platinum. Just an option if you can't wait til 2013.

gahhhh my gs gift card has a hold on it and i can't place my order online...hopefully the price stays up for atleast a couple days.

[tylerh1701]

Ordered a copy for PS3, why the hell not, especially if Bayonetta is supposed to be a pre-order bonus.

Are GameStop pre-orders fairly easy to cancel, I haven't pre-ordered from them since Wind Waker.

[prettycrazy]

Preordered for ps3. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the answer. I'll put in for a PS3 copy.

Edit: Be sure to pick it up if you chose In Store Pickup.

[AugustAPC]

Too far away for me to preorder at the moment. Perhaps if I read a little more about it...

[mightymek]

I pre-ordered for the PS3. Thanks OP. Great you don't have to pay until pick up in store, so pre-ordering doesn't hurt whatsoever.

[technicalstylez]

^ only issue i have with not paying til pick up in store is if they change the price from now til then and try and charge u 59.99 when u pick up.

Pretty much. The store price is what you pay when you pick it up, so if the stores have it for $59.99 at release that's what you'll be paying.

If anyone wants any hope of getting it for $29.99 store pickup is not the way to go unless $29.99 is somehow going to be MSRP.

From Gamestops website for those who don't believe

Will I pay the online price or the store price?

You will be paying at the store, so you'll pay the store price on the day you pick up. Most of the time our online prices and store prices are similar. Although we strive to keep our online and in-store pricing consistent, we occasionally come across special online deals that cannot be duplicated in stores or special in-store deals that cannot be duplicated online for various reasons. Rather than pass over these opportunities, we choose to allow our customers to take advantage of them.

[CheapAssHustla]

After watching that trailer, I'll definitely throw down a pre-order. Hope it doesn't get canceled. If this is the MSRP for the game, I'll pre order it from Best Buy. Rather have the points, and not have to deal with GS.

[SDC]

Placed an order just in case.
