That USB drive is sick

If it was the whole soundtrack I'd consider it, but 10 songs isn't good enough.

 
I'm as hyped for this game as the next guy but... $30 more for a dinky artbook (looks like softcover?), art cel and USB drive seem like a huge ripoff. 

I mean, I get it's a cool looking USB drive and all but still, that's kinda steep. And it only has 10 tracks on it, doesn't seem like it's the full soundtrack. 

...Still, preordered.

A giant fuck you from Nintendo, I wouldn't expect anything less. No steelbook, no complete soundtrack, a cheap and thin artbook; I can't believe that a single person at that company thought this would be okay.

I've preordered it, but I'm wondering how this will work with Best Buy and their Nintendo button promo. Assuming they sell it, obviously.

I doubt the USB drive is very high capacity. They either haven't decided how large it will be yet, or are withholding it to prevent from turning off sales. I figure if it was say 32GB, they'd be all over that. "CUSTOM 32GB USB DRIVE!!"

It's probably like 4-8GB because NoA

You're probably right, unfortunately. At least 16GB would be nice so you could download that 10GB or so of data packs for this game onto it.

 
Damn... I guess I should be thankful I was able to pre-order it then. Guess most people don't share my opinion that the $30 is too much for what's being offered.

Import impressions were not gee whiz golly. http://kotaku.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x-the-kotaku-import-preview-1710008103 Hope you like single player MMORPGs.
Not sure if you played the original but yeah, that's all it really was and that's all I'm hoping this is. The open world, fast travel and checkpoint system made it an RPG that I could pick up and play for 5 minutes or 5 hours. And I didn't have to worry about any Leroy Jenkins situations.

With all that said though... online co-op with this game would be fucking sweet.

It is not OOS. If you go to the Amazon app it says currently unavailable, but if you click on it in the app it says pre-order available. When I first saw that it was unavailable in the app, I checked Amazon through the browser and it said pre-order so I pre ordered through the browser.
