Argh! so frustrating waiting these final few days now that Firstgames has theirs available!

DLC is worth it though.

I tried to guilt trip MightyApe into shipping early seeing as First Games is already pushing copies out the door... I don't think it'll work though :(

I don't think any shop got the PAL ver. yet? Firstgames has the PS3 US version only, a mate in HK already got it yesterday 25th.

Ummm, I thought that if companies break street dates they usually end up with a written complaint by the publisher and forever banned receiving further products from that publisher.  Must be different over here...

I've visited the FG HQ.  There is a small showroom on the side of the garage which is actually quite nice.  Like a mini EB with no used games baskets to dodge.

He's not breaking street date, he's importing them so it's not the same release :)

Monaco got their PAL copies today and shipped them all to the retailers as well from my understanding.

So most places should get them tomorrow or the next day. Doubt anyone will break street date though. Tryed to hussle getting some copies running on demo stands instore but looks as though it might not happen  :(

Me, Hue and Ben got ours as well. Was too freakign busy playing last night and didnt even post up hahaha.
Tried most of teh new chars and got to know them better now that I have teh game.
As for the xbox360 version, since its region locked FG is waiting for the PAL version which is delayed as expected everywhere else due to the Volcano eruption in Iceland. So I would expect sometimes next week at the earliest for the 360 players, but I might be wrong as Munta said Monaco already has stock???

I don't want to be at work today.. goddamit!!! let me go home!!!

Yip they have the game. My copy was sent out yesterday arvo. But some of our prizes haven't been sent yet due to Volcano action. It really is a mixed bag when flights are leaving. First Games copies could come at anytime really, sooner the better. It's weird got a friend Q who was overseas and doesn't know if he'll make it back in time for the realease party/tourney.
