Got my game for 20 dollars from kmart after using my 20 dollar coupons I got from Gears and Deus Ex. Plus I got another 20 from buying Dark Souls. Pretty sick.
Ordered the hardback futurepress guide from amazon and I'm supposed to have it tomorrow but it hasn't shipped yet. Not using it first playthrough of course. I just wanted it because it's like 400 pages and the bayonetta futurepress book goes for like 200 on EBay.
Lol you do know that party chat is disabled for this game right?
I assume it still has voice chat whenever someone is in there with you though, right? Why the hell would they disable party chat, anyways?
And I just got my copy from Amazon as well. Had release date shipping and Amazon said it should have been here yesterday. First time they've missed the release date for me so far.
Drove around to my six local Gamestops today. Sidenote on that: we have a store that is located at most, 100 yards down from another Gamestop. Across the street, in another strip mall. Blew my mind.
Between the six stores, none of them had any collector's editions available, but I did pick up the remaining four hardcover guides available. Opened one, selling one, and hoarding the other two. Thanks for the tip on that. I thumbed through it and it appears to be a very top-notch guide! Great bathroom book.
Futurepress says that they are going to make a second printing, so I doubt they will sell for much.
P.S. I cancelled my Amazon order of the guide and picked one up at the local gamestop. Apparently a bunch of people tried to grab it last night, but they thought they didn't have any. Then, this morning, they opened up a box and found some.
Edit: It is very tough if you go the wrong way at the beginning.
Yeah, don't go to the graveyard area once you reach firelink like I did.. I played the game for maybe two hours last night and spent most of that time beating a few skeletons, dying, then going back to get my souls and repeating the process. lol
I read the mini guide today and it specifically says to avoid that area when you're just starting out. Wish I would have read it before I started the game, haha.
Yeah of all the places I tried, the last place was correct ha....figures.
The only PHYSICAL addition that the CE version offers over the retail version is an art book, correct?
