I'm going to be giving this game a miss, glad too because this CE is very expensive for what you get.

Being a Bethesda game, I can imagine bugs galore after the atrocity that was New Vegas but that's another story and I hope I'm proven wrong.

I'll be playing Dark Souls instead.

Haha this exactly! Go Dark souls, and fallout new vegas was awful. I totally agree.

But, when or if it becomes available in NA, I might as well just give it a pre-order just to see if they sell out quickly? Then if it does I can flip it for profit, and if it doesn't I can cancel? Is this smart? I've never done it before lol.

I thought of this also, but it's a bit of a gamble sometimes.

On the other hand, it irks me if you happen to miss out on an extremely limited CE because a few greedy bastards bought extra copies to flog off on eBay.

However that's happening less and less these days.

Price? Price is relative. If you are a fan, something like a little rectangle of cardboard is potentially worth millions. But there is more acceptance of the person who collects baseball cards.

I still smile when I look at my goofy "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" mouse pad. These things are what I like, they inspire me, and they help me remember how I became who I am. I think part of this is that there is not the level of respect for the creative genius that goes into video games when compared to movies, or other pass-times.

I just dropped the deal on Amazon. Getting it one day mail only costs $9 more, so I did that. If I worried about money I would have done the Super Saver Free Shipping. But I work hard, so I don't have to worry about money. So I got it, and I cannot wait. I will cackle like a boob when it arrives, and I will show the young ones the statue, and it will be early Christmas. And we'll watch the DVD and and look at the book together, and the little ones will start going crazy wanting me to install it. For a little while there I'll remember what being a kid feels like, and that's a luxury I can afford.
