Best parts:

"Promotion not found"

and...

"Tell us how we did!"

At last, the circle is complete.

Antimatter

shame he spent that much on the piece of shit, but at least he got closure

Henroid

It's kinda weird that it's finally said and done.

MetroidZoid

How long before Disney buys the movie rights?

edit: The man's diligence was repaid with an incredible gift pack. Justice has been served.

Especially given the reviews I've seen.

It's the circle of life.

The ScrewAttack.com guys filmed the trip to GameStop. Craig ("Stuttering Craig") bought the game for me "on behalf of gamers everywhere."


Also, 2K Games sent me a "Thank you" package.

Henroid

Okay that's actually a step too-nerdy for me now.

Woodroez

Now that it's all done we should all hold hands and jump from the edge of the earth.

That's pretty cool. I'll keep an eye on the Screwattack website and watch the thing when it's up.

It's pretty much the one absolute, cast-iron guaranteed sale they had.

Mortal Sky

This is beautiful.

What was in the 2K "Thank You" package?

They sent a beer glass, a shot glass, a Duke Burger Tshirt, a DNF hoodie sweatshirt, a bottle opener, duke steroid mints, a DNF precision mousepad, and some Duke posters.

The glasses are excellent. I'm using one right now!

I'm also trying out the mousepad, since I've never had one of these "gaming" mousepads before.

Pata

The end of an era.

Reynolds

That's pretty awesome. That grab bag sounds much better than the actual game, sadly.

darleysam

Slash, just so you know, you should probably warn the developers of any other games you pre-order in the future.

JustinSane07

The end of an era right here.

From the address/phone it looks like it was the same store, was it the same clerk? Has he moved up to management yet?

That would be profoundly depressing.

I must say that my favorite stuff is the signed Duke picture and especially the signed Ball of Steel Edition.

That's amazing. Never thought I'd have a copy of DNF signed by 3DR and Gearbox guys.

TeeMan

That is amazing!!
