My guess is these retailers had no idea which version they were being shipped. They believed what was posted on the publishers site that "all preorders" would be CE. Once they received their games to ship out they realized it was incorrect, which leads to where we are now.
if you didn't get the CE here's the link to all the digital stuff, apparently it's not a 1 time code http://ce.preparetodie.com/index.php...b03ad3bd15a47e
Ya, past the tin and art book. The guidebook and everything else is digital anyways... Kiiiiinda lamed compared to the previous CE
Yeah I'll be getting this despite not having played Demon's Souls due to lack of a PS3. This should be interesting.
Soundtrack download from the site keeps "finishing" halfway for me. Anyone got the full download on MU or something?
Downloaded it and listened to it this morning. Nito and Ceasing Discharge are pretty boss.
Tekki send me a CE for my nq![]()
Tekki, you guys doing a midnight release for Dark Souls? The gamestop near me wasn't doing one for Dark Souls but 2k12 (lolwut). Least I could come by and pick it up during that event.
They have the product... Them saying they "are not" doing one for Dark Souls is pointless...
Call tomorrow morning and talk to the manager. Just be cool and ask if you can pick it up with the 2k12 customers. Everyone should be doing a joint Rage/2k12/DarkSouls/Spiderman launch.
laziness
Yeah, called them earlier and they were cool about it. One of the employees would even bump me up to CE if no one came by and picked it up. Was just surprised 2k12 was the highlight of the night and not the other titles from what I was told.
The guide book is digital? that's lame. OST being digital is lame too, but I was expecting that.
A physical, 400 page guide is coming in a couple of weeks.
Pro tip. Preorder it the night you pick up dark souls. you'll make the guy at the checkout counter feel great, then simply ask if they will honor the "discount on book since you picked up the game with them" as long as you hold onto the receipt. With your discount and preorder money off, itll end up costing you like $15 and it'll be a sweet coffee table piece. I'm getting it for collection purposes more then anything, and the equipment list.
Aww damn so then it is is coming out after? I recently saw that the release date changed on Gamestop's site for the guide from the 14th to the 3rd. Are you positive it isn't coming out sooner Tekki? Future Press's site and Amazon also say Oct. 4th release for the guide. It looks amazing. Like you I am not looking to use it right out of the gate, but I think it looks gorgeous and as a fan I have to own it.
Ya, checking now. For some reason it was listed for something like the 14th. I sure as hell hope its out on the 4th.
