I just got a call from the Philadelphia FYE saying they got ZERO black consoles in and my pre-order can't be honored. I have no idea what to do. I'm taking a red-eye flight tonight so I don't even have the option of camping out. This is why I pre-ordered! So I wouldn't have to deal with this...

I just walked into an FYE this morning and preordered a deluxe model for $50 down. They seemed surprised that I wasn't just going to try my chances on launch day, so I'm guessing they haven't had many preorders.

Probably going to grab Fable II. $24.99 is pretty solid, especially since the first free episode hooked me and Microsoft wants ten bucks for each new chapter.

Can people who ordered check their confirmation email? Mine is saying "Shipping estimate for these items: May 26, 2009." I'm wondering if they sold out of the intial shipment and are bumping people back a week.

I believe that the free 1000 points was only for Japan; Nintendo is planning a code redemption system via Club Nintendo when you register your DSi (which is most likely what this offer refers to).

Was something new added to the rewards section recently? I remember there being four rows, and now there are five. Those Mario Party cards, maybe?

I'm starting to wonder if the projected shadow on that weird symbol means they're going to announce DRAGON SHADOW SPELL for the US. Because it's a shadow and the game has the word shadow in it's name! I should probably send this hypothesis as a tip to Kotaku and Joystiq... :whee:

Yeah, you're spot on. Nocturne Maniax Chronicle Edition doesn't feature Dante at all. Considering how there's already a US translation for Nocturne, it shouldn't require much effort to bring the Chronicle Edition to the US as well.

I thought Jack Frost always had a sort of jester's cap on? Is the one from Devil Summoner different? Because the shadow in the image appears to be wearing a newsboy cap or something.

I got this email from Atlus... subject: ???, body... Please discuss, because I am very confused.

Uh, I'd like to nominate the recession. I've bought two games total in the past four months. I used to buy several dozen a month before everything went to hell.

Amazon's Black Friday Sale, specifically the Korg DS-10 for $25. It may not be for everyone, but that is an INSANE price for that software.

Make sure you've registered the serial for your Wii system as well. Mine didn't show up until I did this.

:oldman:

It's in the Wii Shop channel, first choice under "settings." --- According to the Nintendo rep I spoke to, you do not get points for gifted games or games redeemed via download ticket. :(
