Oh man I sure hope Devil's Third still comes out. I don't who might pick it up but I would prefer Microsoft to get it if it comes down to it ending up a exclusive for any one console.

Sucks when that happens. Have you got a paper slip to go get it from the depot or do you need to wait until next delivery?

Yeah I have to wait until tomorrow.

robio said:
Sucks to hear it Edge, but look at it this way; nearly everyone is experiencing server issues and a host of other problems so far. Not getting the game right away will spare you some frustrations.

Well I wasn't going to play it until Demon's Souls is done anyway...but still, I just want it.

At end of Binary Domain. You know, every time an evil overlord explains his plans and theories I generally side with him. They make it sound reasonable to me.

Because I'd rather play Devil's Third on the 360 since I prefer the controller, the online, achievements, and installing games fully on the HDD.

Are you actually in Orlando or is like when you were an hour outside of Dallas? If you're actually in town, utterly bored, and staying another night and need comapny for dinner hit me up. At the very least I can steer you away from the worst places to eat.

I might go as high as $20 if I go shopping while drunk.

All right. Coolio. We'd have to hit the dinosaur restaurant at Downtown Disney though. I'm only comfortable eating with strangers in a prehistoric setting.
