    I have so much luck with the fucking brilliant game.

    First, I managed to get my hands on a Dark Edition only 2 weeks before release.

    Then, I heard about how the team is sending out 1000 copies of the game directly from them (they might even be signed, can't remember) to people to create user reviews. I signed up and linked my blog page here at Giant Bomb. They must have liked what I wrote about Xenoblade because they sent me a copy! My dad just phoned me up and told me something "weird" came in the mail and he wanted to open it. I said go ahead and now I can't wait to see what they've included, if anything.

    Anyone else get one of these limited review copies? What's in em? I can't see until I go back home next :(

    This does me no good, as it seems like all the copies have already been sent out. Congratulations though. I'm going to be buying this game as soon as possible.

    I got a signed copy by pre-ordering it through Amazon. (It was signed by some Polish guy on the FX Team). It wasn't a review copy but congratulations either way. It's an incredible game.

    I got a review copy today.

    It's a promo copy, so it's barebones. The case and both the game disks are in it, but in the package there was also an envelope with a very cool letter for the reviewer. It's also got Adam Badowski's signature on it, so I'll savor that.

    Sweet, me too. I'm letting my sister open it up and play it so I'll make sure she doesn't throw anything out, especially the letter.

    @procrasturbate: The achievements are mostly secret so I don't know about the vast majority of them but there is one for 100 points for beating the game on Dark. I am playing on Hard so I don't think it'll be an issue though, It's not too bad!

    @xyzygy Nice. Thanks for the reply. Can't wait to play it. CD Pro deserves cash. They make good products and really support them.

    I got 2 in my first 10 hours. I didn't look at the list, and some that I've gotten since could have been achievement much earlier if I'd been trying.

    There are so many things right with this game, I don't even know where to start.
