    I could never do what you guys are doing. Patience is not something I have plus I desire my trophies.... :(

    Renting it while waiting for the pc is pretty smart though.

    I was going to wait til it was released, because it's coming out around the same time as Skyrim, but I managed to get it on PC for really cheap, so I jumped on the opportunity.

    Ditto. The game looks incredibly, but PC delays, plus the ridiculous amount of DLC that should already be in the game has completely put me off.

    Yeah, I decided to wait after all. Console version is about 75 bucks in Denmark, and I just can't justify paying that much at the moment.

    I'm sort of on the fence whether to get it for PC or my 360. I'll probably wait till the System Requirements are released.

    I really hope it's a significant step up form the last game.

    It's on the same engine as the first and that ran extremely well (minus the neat PhysX stuff - one of the few occasions of that done well). Even a modest rig could get console-beating performance on it. If you played the first one on PC on your system and it ran well, you likely don't have to worry.

    You can get it for ~$30 on GMGif you're interested. It's 15% off by default, and if you use the voucher on the front page (AUTUM-NSALE-20PEC) you get another 20% off.

    This extra month long wait is going to be painful. They say it's to fine tune a few things, but I reckon it's just because of piracy and trying to maximise profits. I suppose you can't blame them.

    I don't own a console, so i have no choice but to wait. If i did own one I almost certainly wouldn't have been able to wait and i would have ended up getting the console version.

    Woah, only £20 in the UK with that code. Awesome. Never used that site before but seen it plenty of times around the web - wish I'd got Renegade Ops from there also instead of preordering on Steam.

    Waiting for the PC version too. From what I have seen, it's a 'back by popular demand' sort of deal with amazing gameplay, multiple side-challenges, improvements and tweaks in areas that were already sound (combat, stealth) but the story is...well...bollocks.

    This is why I can wait for the PC version. For the best experience possible.

    Yeah, it has a lot of things going for it. I got Dead Island there at launch for ~$18 after the initial 15% off, with another 20% from a voucher and some store credit.

    At this point, it's probably the first site I check for pre-orders. The prices are definitely worth it.

    @SlasherMan: Yeah, I'll likely be doing the same from now on. I usually bought all my PC titles from retail when it came to preorders as that usually beat out Steam. But GMG seems to be even cheaper than amazon.co.uk or the other sites I usually visit.

    Just asked Steam to cancel my preorder on Renegade Ops - looking to get it from these guys instead (especially as it's got Steamworks built in).

    The PC version will be good, but do you want to risk GFWL losing your save-games, or simply busting up your computer, or not working at all leaving you screwed with no chance for your money back because that's how GFWL works even if you order it via Steam?

    Normally I would, but Skyrim is going to drop around that same time, so I'm going with the PS3 version this time so I can be done with Batman by the time Skyrim drops.

    Nah, I was going to pre-order Batman AC from OnLive (the best cloud gaming website currently, totally legit) for the free game system, but ended up missing the opportunity, due to poor communication and such. So it was rescheduled for November 15th. However, I am (which was plan A.) I am getting it for the PS3. Wanted it on a console and also my laptop computer so that I could play Batman AC on the go. The retail price is the same as a console game, $59.99.
