Not sure whether or not I should start playing though. It's 2:14 AM and I will probably want to play it all night.

Save it for tomorrow. You will enjoy it more after a nights rest.

If you can sleep all day tomorrow, go for it. If not, sleep.

#4 Posted by JokerClown88 (1051 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Lucky lucky lucky.  its only 10:30 here, and there is no midnight release where I bought it. :'(

#5 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Yeah it's only 10:30PM here haha. YOU SON OF A BITCH. On a more serious note you should play about an hour's worth, because the dead of night I think would be the best time to play this. Either way you beat me; I'm picking it up tomorrow morning but won't be able to play until about 11 hours after I pick it up since I have a final. Have fun. I hate you.

#6 Edited by CL60 (16906 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

By the way, I've seen people doubting the Canadian price despite the fliers and the websites. So here. I'm off to play for an hour or so most likely. :)

#14 Posted by demonbear (1819 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@CL60: Its good to be canadian huh? I didnt knew that walmart had it at that price too though.
#15 Posted by ArchScabby (5809 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

So is this game going to be in stores Tuesday?  Because I hate going to the store just to have them tell me to come back tomorrow.

#16 Posted by LiquidPrince (14653 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Every store in Canada has matched that price. Best Buy, EB Games, and Futureshop have all gone down to $38.83.

Oh yeah :P
 
Anyways, I decided to play it a bit and it is pretty awesome. Didn't get very far. Solved some riddles. Fought a boss. Realized that they changed the map for the demo so it was shorter. etc.
 
Tried out the only challenge I unlocked and the combat is pretty easy to use but fairly difficult to actually master, I spent a lot of the time restarting trying to get perfect scores.
#19 Posted by Jolly_Lolly (3537 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Coooool. I'm just glad this game is doing so well and getting such high scores, totally unexpected.

I don't get why though. Don't get me wrong, 40$ is an awesome release price, but why so low on the first week, and why here?
#21 Edited by IceColdGamer (590 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I just got the last copy from FutureShop Online...They sure did price match...Probably my best buy of the year =D
 

  Edit...Best Buy just did the same thing. They just sold out. I love living in Canada. New Release for 10 bones =D
#22 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@IceColdGamer: HOLY SHIT. I noticed the sale is on until the 27th. I'm gonna go down to Futureshop and buy as many copies as I can bright and early...Modern Warfare 2 will already be paid off after I sell those puppies :D
#23 Posted by IceColdGamer (590 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

:) I've got 3 of them. Will pay a chunk of my Prestige Edition MW2 =)

#24 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I just got 12 hahaha. I should be able to sell em for $40 USD a piece each on ebay. Oh boy am I happy right now.

#25 Posted by fugie7 (1103 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

lucky. well have fun playing it, im going to get my tomorrow

#26 Posted by demonbear (1819 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

This has GOT to be a mistake. its impossible.

#27 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I'm fully prepared to have my order cancelled since they said in the case of a misprint they can cancel orders. But hey you never know it may go through since my order has been processed I just need the confirmation that will allow me to pick up all 12 of my copies in store muahaha

#28 Edited by demonbear (1819 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@RsistncE: I'm finishing my night shift so i wont go but i'll tell my GF to ask the futureshop guy to sell it at the price on the website. Might work! And if it does, somebody's gonna loose this job eventually over this.
#29 Posted by c1337us (5751 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Not out until September 3 in Australia :-(

#30 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@demonbear: My buddy who worked at Futureshop says if you print off the ad they pretty much have to give it to you. Also I'm a dick - I just ordered another 10 360 copies and another 10 PS3 copies.
#31 Posted by Hitchenson (4577 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Godomnot, I have to wait until Friday to get my copy...

#32 Posted by girdz (3339 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Why is it that Americans can pronounce Arkham the way its meant to be pronounced with a short vowel sound but pronounce words like Buckingham and Birmingham with extra emphasis on the HAM? :\

#33 Posted by destruktive (1063 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I have to wait until friday :|

#34 Posted by IceColdGamer (590 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I just picked up my 3. Less than than 30 bucks total. =)

It would be HILARIOUS if you couldn't on-sell them.
#36 Posted by Osaladin (2333 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I don't get it, is the low price only for Canada?

#37 Posted by CL60 (16906 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I went to futureshop and it was 38.83

Way to go, I'm pretty sure you've just fucked over 19 other people who would have been willing to pay full price for the game.  
 
But as along as you make your profit it's all good, right? 
#41 Posted by buzz_killington (3532 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

I snatched my copy last night, but my friend has been to 6 EB Gameses, 3 Future Shops, 1 Walmart, and 2 Best Buys, and they are ALL sold out on both platforms. Only one EB had a 360 CE.
#42 Posted by trophyhunter (5804 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Comes out on the 28th in the UK....
#45 Posted by RsistncE (4496 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@Hitchenson: Already replied to his PM accusing me of fucking people that there is no way this game is going to sell out at all retailers here in Victoria, BC. I guarantee that you'll be able to find a copy somewhere for the 38.83 price point. In fact the only thing I fucked over was Futureshop...but they deserve it because they're fucking assholes anyways.
#46 Posted by Hitchenson (4577 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@RsistncE: More power to you dude. Hope you make a good profit!
#47 Posted by buzz_killington (3532 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
@trophyhunter:
If you'e talking to me, no. It was the Batarang one.
#48 Posted by Ouroboros (344 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

The game is amazing, probably the best game I've played all year.  It is mind boggling how detailed it is and how much you can do in the game..
