    Me-Thinking:Omg, I can totally sucker her in to buy me FF XII and I'll be saving money for the first time ever.

    Me: Yeah you know there is this game that's finally coming out at the end of October that I've been waiting forever to get.

    G/F: So what's it called?

    Me:Final Fantasy XII

    G/F: Oh, so there's a new one of those coming out huh.

    Me: Yeap, I think it's coming out on Halloween, and I want it really bad.

    G/F: So how much is this game going to cost me?

    Me: Well you see there are two versions, the regular one for $49.99 and the limited edition one for $59.99. I really really want the limited edition. It's got a really great metal case and a bonus disc full of stuff, you know how much I love final fantasy.

    G/F: Yes, I know. Alright I'll buy it for you.

    Me:

    G/F: But since it's such an expensive gift, I'll make it your christmas gift for this year.

    Me:

    Me:But but, I can still play it when it comes out right babe?

    G/F: You know how I feel about Christmas, any gift that I get you will be opened up on Christmas day. No earlier no later.

    Me: but i've been waiting forever.

    G/F: I'll buy you a cheaper game to hold you over until christmas comes.

    Yeah as you can see my story writing isn't great, but atleast it's all true. I went and just royally smurfed myself in the ass. If anyone want's to point and laugh at me, you may, as I am an idiot.
    Try to explain to her that having to wait until Christmas is like getting a kick in the nuts. (That's how I would feel. ) Then tell her that you'll buy it, and she can get you something else for Christmas. Don't forget to hint at the fact that if you don't get it until Christmas, you will spend the entire Christmas holidays playing it, due to the novelty of the newest Final Fantasy release, and she won't see you much. (Yeah, she'll love that :rolleyes2) And if you go ahead and buy it now, that the you'll probably have it finished by Christmas, or at least that the new novelty will have worn off, and you'll have spent all that novelty time in November, and that you won't have to spend as much time playing it over the holidays, and that there'll be more time to spend with her during the holiday season.

    If that doesn't work, just go and pre-order it, and tell your girlfriend that your mom stopped by the local gamestore while birthday shopping for you, and went ahead and pre-ordered it for you. That way you get to have it when it hits the shelves, and your girlfriend isn't pi$$ed, and will still get you something nice for Christmas.

    Alright so I understand the limited edition game, but what's the point of getting the limited edition guide. Does it just give you more pictures or what?

    There's a limited edition I heard of the colllector's edition, but limited edition's must be really secret and rare like Metal Gear Solid 3's limited Edition it had both colllector's and limited , but I don't see the difference.


    Oh well 14 days left.

    I would, except for the fact that this girl loves christmas. I'm talking a christmas tree in every room kind of love. So this year she wanted to buy me the perfect gift, and by the conversation that me and her had, I made it quite clear what my perfect gift for this year would be. Stupid does not even describe what I am, but thats life.

    You guys have fun though........I'll just pretend that I live in Europe or something.
    Dump her butt? :P
    Nah, j/k...

    OWNED
    It's sad that I can identify with this.
    Not with a game or anything like that, but I know how you feel.

    As for the whole obsessive countdown thing:
    I'm laid back and have plenty of other stuff to do so I'm not worked up about it.

    In fact, the only thing I'm counting down to is the day when I get my PS2 modded.

    On the other hand I'll be getting it rather earlier than everyone else in Britain, so that's okay then

    You got a NTSC PS2, modded PAL PS2 or Swap Magic?
    NTSC/US PS2.
    Would the game work with a PAL PS2 with Swap Magic, you know?
    I'm not an expert on it, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

    RiseToFall; Hahahaha oh my, you got pwnd. However! Just tell her you don't want that as a present anymore, get it yourself, and have her get something you can wait for xD

    Thanks for all the advice you guys. Anyway I just want to say that she's still getting it for me, couldn't talk her out of it (women run the world, what do you want me to do.) But I went out and bought myself some oldies to keep me busy. Dragon Quest VIII (not old but whatever) and Breath of Fire III and IV (these are the oldies) so with those I should be fine. But all the concern you guys have for me, wether positive or negative made me feel very special. <--happy cry.

    Default Or buy Tales of the Abyss.

    You could always buy it for yourself when it's released, and not tell her, if you absolutely need it. Then you'll have two copies.

    Or just buy the real deal, FFIIIDS [/half-sarcastic]

    But yes, it's almost here...too bad there are so many other games coming out at nearly the same freaking time. It's a Fall flood of RPGs.

    I see you ignored my advice to kill her.

    What are we...13 days or something?... Squee for that! The fall flood of RPGs is upsetting in that wonderful sort of way. Poor PSU isn't getting my attention right away because it's released a week before FFXII

    Hey, you never know, they could add more things in the PAL version like they did with FFX. *hopes*
