Yea I'd definitely say this is a 360 game first. I was happy that Gamefly shipped it today for me instead of tomorrow.

They seem to do that a lot... they sent me NGS a day before its official street date too, so I got it right on that date.

Anyways, anyone know much regarding the limited edition sets? I got some cash burning on a good game, and I'm eyeing this (fuck you Nintendo for not making a collectors/limited-edition of Metroid Prime 3), but I can't find any online site to place an order on? Amazon, my preferred online-shopping mall only has the limited editions for order from their UK site, and I ain't up for paying duty/shipping & handling.

I think they're pretty much sold out, so good luck locating one - it might have been a GameStop/EBGames exclusive, too. Not sure. I know my local store wasn't taking preorders Friday, so I ordered one online - the item has since been removed from the site entirely. Another story is that a lot of the Big Daddy figures were breaking during shipping, and they just cut off the Limited Edition afterwards.

I actually hope mine is broken:

none of the ones we got were broken

[ircgeek]

Then I'll just have to make mine broken.

[izembo]

you know i was thinking that ppl are gonna make them broken to get the art books ;p

[Semitry]

You can download the artbook free from

hardcopy > downloaded copy

I don't see the thrill in this game. Really boring to me. Play the demo before you buy.

hardcopy > downloaded copy

integrity + pdf > hard copy

People who scam nice companies like this is why we can't have nice things. Like fags abusing costco's return policy.

graphics were kinda meh and sluggish on my system, so im just not gonna give a personal review on it.

and no, pdf never > hard copy

Nice companies who didn't take the time to insure their inferior figures didn't break?

they arent in any way inferior, they're pretty nice figures, and are packaged in a way i wouldnt see them breaking easier, im just saying if word got out about it other than just for people who had a broken one, so people will break them just to get the art book. it's sad but true.

you'll also have people wishing for a broken one, cause comeon, art books are nice.

[ircgeek]

Yes, I remember typing those things. Your point?

I was saying they should have done a better job of shipping these items in the first place. They don't strike me as a "nice" company if they were too cheap to ship/pack them properly.

Careful about that torrent talk, guys. Wouldn't want someone here to think you're a bad person and all.

[izembo]

they were shipped/packed quite nice, they're just covering for possibilities.

doesnt really matter to me, i hate the look of widescreen anyways :/

Kind of a lame reason to cancel a preorder.

[Deejay]

If widescreen being not wide enough is seriously one of the biggest issues people can find with this game, then you know it's good.
