I can't believe I did this, but I actually cancelled my $38 order with Outpost and decided to bay the extra $7 with NewEgg. I really can't wait 'til Mid-February to play this friggin' game! Geez I'm an impatient fool!
I got tired of waiting for a local retailer to put it on sale, so I went to see if NewEgg still had this deal going. It's now 43.50 with free FedEx shipping. Purchased. Thanks to the original poster!
At $43.50, thought I'd take the plunge considering how much praise this game's gotten. I never really cared for the other RE games, so we'll see if this one can win me over.
