I can has?

[Shlup]

Well, did you pre-order your copy yet?

I'm probably gonna do it today... Every time I've preordered a movie off Amazon I've received it the day before release day, so let's hope that continues to hold true. Woo!

[Psychotic]

Haha, yes, actually, I pre-ordered it just ten minutes ago so good timing with the thread! I also got it from Amazon for precisely the same reason.

[Momiji]

Other stuff that I wanted more came up. Gonna have to wait a while for FFXIII. Oh well.

[Chloe.]

I haven't yet, but I'm getting paid tomorrow so I should be able to soon. :D

[Miriel]

Before we get the game, Del Murder and I have to figure out who gets to play it first. It never occurred to me that living together would mean that we'd have to negotiate video game playing. Especially since up until now, it's been a no brainer. I don't want to play the man-boy games he plays, and FFXI we can both play at the same time. :o

What to do?

[Shlup]

BJ and I had the same problem for Twilight Princess. The times we wanted to play didn't conflict very often though. Also, he liked to let me go first so that when it was his turn I could sit with him.

ETA: Order placed! No tax, free release-date (or before) delivery, and $10 my next video game purchase. Roof raised.

[crazybayman]

Si. Pre-ordered from my local EB Games, the weekend before last! In my case, there is no deciding (fighting) between my fiance and I over who gets to play first, as I am the sole video-game geek in our house.

[Rad Bromance]

I pre-ordered in store at Gamestop like two months ago. :D

[nirojan]

I pre-ordered in store at Gamestop like two months ago. :D

same! we're getting a mini strategy guide apparently and a poster!

[Shlup]

Well aren't you three so freaking fancy with your thinking ahead.

I bet Psy and I get ours first!

[Rostum]

I'm thinking about pre-ordering the collector's edition (comes with an art book!). I will make a decision soon.

Friend working at EB Games is giving me their massive FFXIII poster they used for promotional purposes, for free! Won't fit in my room though. XD

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I already pre-ordered it from GameBuzz, gonna pick it up the day it is released~ AND IT IS MY DAY OFF THAT DAY! :D

[Shlup]

Every day is my day off. I told BJ I bought it today and he's like "YOU CAN'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES WHILE I'M AT WORK, YOU HAVE TO CLEAN OR I WILL CRY!" Poor BJ.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Every day is my day off. I told BJ I bought it today and he's like "YOU CAN'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES WHILE I'M AT WORK, YOU HAVE TO CLEAN OR I WILL CRY!" Poor BJ.

Well, aren't we miss fancy-pants!

Awww, poor BJ. :( I dunno if I could force myself to wait were I you. :(

[Shlup]

Pfft, it doesn't matter. He doesn't like Final Fantasy anyway.

[Shadowdust]

I pre-ordered mine from Amazon last month. I forked out the extra $6 for the release date shipping option.

[Loony BoB]

I think Danielle is getting mine for my birthday (it's pretty much a request of mine!), although I'm wavering over whether I want her to get the special edition (artwork/soundtrack/etc) or the piggyback guide. Which would you guys say is better?

[Del Murder]

Need a PS3 first.

[Raistlin]

I generally don't bother pre-ordering games, at least not in the past few years.

[Shlup]

I think this is the first time I've pre-ordered a game ever. :o

[Rad Bromance]

Same here! :D

[Goldenboko]

I should get on this. Or I'll just buy it at Wal-Mart.

[NeoCracker]

Mine's been paid off for quite a while now. :p

[Shlup]

I think this is the first time I've pre-ordered a game ever. :o
Same here! :D

*fist bump for mah bro*

[Baloki]

I pre-ordered it about a month and a half ago off Play.com xD

Edit: Although the HDMI cable for the PS3 only arrive today >.>;;;

[Wolf Kanno]

Interesting, the Strategy Guide is being done by a different publisher. Usually its Brady but now XIII is using Piggyback Interactive instead. Found this out cause talking at my Gamestop, if you pre-order XIII they hand you a mini-guide to show you what the real guide is going to look like.

[Clyde's Shadow]

Pre-ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, CANT. WAIT. GRRRR. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

Piggyback used to be the published back in the 7 and 8 days if I remember correctly...

[Loony BoB]

XII for me came with a sample of a piggyback guide, pretty sure it was mentioned as the official one.

[vinnie's mini's]

I pre-ordered mine last Thursday, I think O.o I ordered it from a local game store, which the last time I pre-ordered from there I got it a day early (so fingers crossed this one will be the same).

Piggyback has done all the guides for the European/PAL regions for awhile apparently but in the US, its always been BradyGames. This is the first game to have PiggyBack do them exclusively for all regions (well maybe not Japan). So it is a bit of a change for some of us. :D

Not too annoyed cause BradyGames was always hit or miss in terms of quality strategy guides. I prefer Double Jump myself, they do the MegaTen/Nippon Ichi titles and not only are their guides useful but tend to be packed with information explaining cultural concepts in the games as well as interviews and artwork. Even some other behind the scenes stuff. :)

[Breine]

No, and I have never pre-ordered a game before either.

Actually, I might not buy the game for some time... I know, total gasp! - Hmm, we'll see. It all depends on if I have the money.

[Madame Adequate]

I dun even know if I can afford it. But if I can I'll just buy it in store. I have no idea what Paul is on about btw I have never ever once got something from Amazon before release day. Play.com on the other hand...

[G13]

I'm not gonna pre-order. I'll be able to get it a few days later when the losers who pre-ordered never picked their copy up. :p

Does anyone know what the Collector's Edition comes with by any chance?

[Loony BoB]

Soundtrack, artsy stuff, postcards or something like that.

[Dignified Pauper]

What ever happened to Prima? I always thought they had the best strats. Brady Games strats I believe suck.

[Lightening]

I haven't done this yet, thanks for reminding me. I need this game at launch.

[cloud21zidane16]

Ill probably be able to just line up and buy it anyway, if not il get it the next day:) I wasnt planning on buying the guide but now im kinda tempted..

[Madame Adequate]

I now know that I can afford it :)

[Laddy]

Got it preordered at mon GameStop. :D

:O
You're so lucky nothing like that happens in our game stores :(

[I Took the Red Pill]

Told my self I wasn't going to pre-order it.

Just pre-ordered it.

[Loony BoB]

So, anyone get it early?

[Madame Adequate]

So, anyone get it early?

I'll put good money down that Dan has :p

[Loony BoB]

Showing up on Xbox Live as playing it, is he? :p

[Madame Adequate]

I can't get on XBL :( But you know how he is. He probably got it for free, too. The brown man. :stare:

[Rye]

What to do?


We're having the same problem. We're picking it up tomorrow morning and we don't know who plays first. ;_;

And hahahaha @ Dan getting it early most likely. It's not fair. Tell him to send some of that brown man hax charisma my way! Though he wouldn't, because he'd say it's going into London. :colbert:

[Psychotic]

Amazon failed me :( Tomorrow it is.

[Chloe.]

I thought it would come today and I was super disappointed when I got home from Sixth Form and it wasn't here. :(

It better be here tomorrow. :colbert:

[Madame Adequate]

We're having the same problem. We're picking it up tomorrow morning and we don't know who plays first. ;_;

What. I was informed of no such debate. I am playing it first. :stare:

[G13]

So, anyone get it early?

I get mine from Gamestop at midnight. :smug: ... Although that doesn't really mean anything since it's technically not early. :(

[Lightening]

I'm picking it up at the store in 7 hours :D

see ya in a couple weeks, heh.

[Momiji]

I might pick this up tomorrow.

Someone talk me out of it. :|

[Dignified Pauper]

I am waiting outside a store right now... god, I suck.

[Rad Bromance]

I am waiting outside a store right now... god, I suck.
I would be doing this right now but I live in central Ohio and none of the ten million GameStops here are doing it apparently. Except for in the mall that's ten minutes or so away from me, but I don't feel like going into the mall right now.

I can wait till tomorrow. Maybe. :greenie:

[Shlup]

We're having the same problem. We're picking it up tomorrow morning and we don't know who plays first. ;_;

xD

I got an email from Amazon at noon that it was on its way. No day early for me. :(

[G13]

I just got home with my copy. I'm too excited to think of anything to say that only I'd find funny. Why am I still typing... Later!

[Bunny]

I FORGOT IT WAS MIDNIGHT DAMMIT

[Baloki]

It still hasn't arrived for me, dear god I could kill you all right now >.>;;;

[Shlup]

Aww, poor Baloki. I wonder if eest's showed up in Alaska yet? If a copy made it to Alaska before you I will be super sad.

[Baloki]

It was posted last Friday too so if Royal Mail didn't suck I'd have had it DAYS early :S

[Shlup]

That is ridiculous. I got my shipping notice Monday and it arrived on Tuesday, from Nevada to California.

[Baloki]

:cry:
