    Well, shit, I guess I should go order it on Nintendos site. Is there any pressing reason I would use Gamestop over Nintendo?

    Gamestop is offering an art book for pre-orders. It's the only reason I would ever pick them over Nintendo sadly.

    Nintendo is selling a bundle with the Classic Controller Pro (but it's more expensive), so that's an alternative. But I figure I could buy the CCP seperate - I can't do that with the art book.

    You should already have gotten a Classic Controller Pro bundled with your purchase of Monster Hunter Tri, anyway.

    The classic controller pro is the same guts of a classic controller just moved around and made more comfortable/not stupid, so they're interchangable to games.

    It's basically handles, better triggers, slightly different buttons. CC regular was trying to invoke the SNES but of course theres a BETTER CONTROLLER FOR THAT.

    I'm debating whether to get a pro, despite the fact that I have a regular CC sitting right there in the corner.

    After 100+ hours of xenoblade, the pro is worth it. So comfy to use, best controller this gen.

    Gamespot definitely has the better deal. No need for the special controller.

    CC Pro is just a redesigned old classic controller so the old classic controller should work fine.

    Heh, I considered that game but my backlog was already huge and honestly it just never really appealed to me. From everything I heard it's a single player MMO which is 99% grinding. Which doesn't sound that fun.

    Well I know there is some grinding here too :P It just sounded like Monster Hunter didn't have a lot of storyline/etc. Like it was *just* grinding. At least based on impressions I read. I don't know.

    Do you like rpgs?

    If no, do you want to like rpgs?

    If yes, then why not play the best rpg this generation. (Better then any last gen console RPG even.)

    I haven't played an RPG in ages nor have I gotten a game because I thought it might be hard to find later in a few years but I dunno, this one seems like the epitome of what used to drive me to collect games.

    I'm getting pretty excited even though I know very little of what I'm getting into.

    pre order it!

    Like I said a couple of weeks back, I am relying on Xenoblade to rekindle any sort of flame I had for JRPG's...because outside of the fun niche stuff Zeboyd did with Breath of Death and C'thulu Saves The World, JRPG's have been pretty dead to me for a few years.

    Also, even though it's a huge game with tons of both depth and breadth of content, it's also really easy to get into and every bit of it is explained using an in-game manual/tutorial system.

    So you'll never really hit a brick wall, wondering what to do next or how to do something.

    I don't really know much about this game, but I know I can't wait to play it next week. I was sold as soon as I knew it was made by monolith, because they made my favorite non final fantasy JRPG ever(Xenosaga ep. 3).

    Is anybody else just a little annoyed that this is being released Friday? It's like, what the dilly-yo? I should be playing this in 4 days, but because somebody out there wants to be a "non conformist", I gotta wait 7 instead.

    Never did like waiting... Christmas was always hell for me.

    I really dug Sundays but it seems like this might be Nintendo's new day for releases. Last week was KI:U, next week Xenoblade.

    We'll see if this continues when they release B2/W2 this fall or possibly the Wii U launch.

    I'm fine with it. It means I'll have a whole weekend to play it rather than it being released earlier in the week and thus ruining any chance of me being responsible.
