Do it mate, I don't mean to advertise here but ShopTo are brilliant! They always get the game to you before the release date if you order in advance. I ordered today, they will ship today and I'll have the game on Tuesday! Was gonna go steam, but its £5 cheaper from ShopTo and you get all the goodies in a nice box on the release day! Result!

Its cheaper on The Hut.com and you get the Finisher Move pre-order bonus which is new finishers and advanced combat techniques it says. Mine was posted yesterday

Completely agree.
I dont ever buy digital now, only if it comes free with something else.
I loves my hard boxes of stuff
And as you said, this is a sweet bargain with lots of stuff!!
heh

Yeah, the hut is like a quid cheaper, but with ShopTo I know I'll get my game on tuesday, I've never used the hut so I didn't want to risk it...

Well, I ordered it there a few days ago, and it was dispatched yesterday. They said it could take up to 10 to 15 days before it arrives here (I'm not from UK).

Next week will be a busy one anyways, so I won't be too annoyed if it does take that long. I still hope it doesn't, though.

Heres a video from a month or so ago of live gameplay. Some people probably already seen it but i'll link anyway to wet your appetite a wee bit more

I'm actually all hyped about the game now, I'll dedicate my day off (wednesday) to it.... Bring on a good old sesh of RPG gaming!

Ever been that site, RPGVault?

I visited it to look at The Witcher 2, wow, their forums are terrible, everyone there is so insanely anal...they list all the bad things about The Witcher 2 and bash CD Projekt, saying what they're doing is "normal" and they deserve no praise.

Similar things were happening on the gamespot forums

!

There were so many IDIOTS there, who just by looking at screenshots or trailers said that the game will suck, most of them are "consolite's" saying that L.A. NOIR looks better, will be better, things like that.

Then there were the Bioware and Bethesda fanboy's who said that skyrim will be better, some even said that modded oblivion blows away TW2 and that TW2's graphics are so 2008?!?!? WTF?? Then to top it all off a Bioware "junkie" claims that DA2 is the best RPG ever made......What a bunch of EPIC FAILS that lot is!!!

BUT the PC gamers on gamespot are REALLY hyped up about the game, most of them ignored the trolling

I have seen some LA Noir gameplay vids, looks like Mafia 2 with a better story. The stutter or lag is laughable.

DA2 best RPG ever....?! Did you ask the Gamespot forum if they still have their balls?

Dude crazy sh*t was happening at those forums like a month ago, multiple thread "explaining" why LA NOIR or Skyrim will be better!!! Things have calmed down quite a bit now, all those who were trolling have either taken back the "bad" stuff they were saying about TW 2 or have simply learned to "block" the game from their mind!!!

I seriously cant understand why people do that??? I mean in the case of skyrim vs TW 2 I'm guessing that skyrim will sell alot more and at this moment in time TW 2 look more appealing to me, but thats because not much info about Skyrim has been released, (no gameplay trailers) but since I enjoy TES games I will also be getting it! Trolls.....MEH!

Bro, Gamespot, is a console noobs site...
I mean come on I got into an arguement with a fanboy who went on how much better a Xbox 360's graphics is compared to a PC!!!

That and a Gamespot editor getting on CA's back for not making console games...
They are probabley just pissed they cant play it on their xbox 3****ty

Yeah, gamespot's mods also tend to favour consoles on multiple occasions....It has become an unreliable website if you want to read a review of a PC game. I tend to prefer IGN for reading reviews.

I personally don't have any faith in Skyrim myself. Oblivion was a pile of tonk, average game with poor coding, sh1t leveling and hype that just didn't deliver. The original Witcher was good, great even, but I never completed it. I just hope TW2 is on par with the original and improves on the obvious things.

DA2 was garbage. I can't even force myself to finish the game.
