Didn't see a thread to this effect... but I just got back from my local gamestop and have pre-ordered ACIII. I've never pre-ordered a game before. Hell, I've always been a generation behind (e.g., just got the 360 last November). But I had to do it.

165 days!!!

I preordered it online, but might trade in some games towards it at a Gamestop store. I've gotten every AC title at some discount (either free as a gift or half off) and would like to see if I can pull off that streak. ;D

Haven't put in my pre-order for the Freedom Edition yet, although I've sold one or two copies on eBay to fund my own when I get round to buying it. Laughing out loud

Ugh, I'm being pestered to pre-order the game at Gamestop. Thing is, I have a gift card for another store that's not pre-ordering it. And I'll probably get it for PS3 because of free multiplayer.

You have a PS3? Well now I have to get two copies...

Hardly any of you know this, but I played AC Revelations on PS3. We got the PS3 a while ago from someone and put the free AC multiplayer to good use (not that I played much on multiplayer). So I guess if anyone wanted to do coop it would have to be on PS3 (sorry, Phi).

Well I guess now we have more excuses to do PS3 gameplays. At least when the AC3 beta comes out.

@McStab; I'm that guy too! always a year (or two) behind. things are cheaper, but there's always newer out somewhere haha! Also, ACIII was my very first pre-order too Tongue You should have seen the surprise on my face when the cashier at gamestop said "5 dollars, annnd here's your case..". I always assumed pre-order meant "full price now, we reserve it and you get DLC".

First game I ever pre-ordered was Dragon Age 2: BioWare Signature Edition. That was a mistake. Second was Mass Effect 3: N7 Collectors Edition. That was really cool until the finale of the game. Not regretting my Dishonored pre-order one bit.

Although, I do have AC3 pre-ordered, despite no pre-order bonuses announced yet. Ubisoft truly loves their PC audience.

Hopefully AC3 in DE wont sell out to quickly. Or else i'm gonna have to wait a month...

*sigh* Gamestop hates me. They just sent me an email telling me to come pick up my copy. Except I preordered the PC copy, which isn't out until end of November. Gamestop cashier fails... I knew I didn't like that guy, too busy talking to his friend and rushing me out.

Just thought I would rant for a second.

Too much shipping costs. Tongue

Besides, I have to scold them and try to get them to give me in-store credit towards my PC edition.

Happy Scolding Jfighter, and I'm sorry to hear about the mixup, especially so late in the game, which comes out any day now! I wonder if the PC version will get exclusive content, just because Ubi is known not to pursue their PC game-market. At least from what I've heard.

Gamestop called today. Apparently, I can "Pick up assassin's creed on tuesday October 30th at 12:01 AM. I'm definitely going to, just to raise the blood pressure a bit! I know AC3 will be amazing either way though.

Actually, would anyone here know where a good site is for buying things like the AC belt buckles, or individual things like the Assassin-rendered flag? maybe some figurines, but they're not AS important to me Tongue

They called me at work today! Some automated message, but it was nice to get a confirmation.

Hmm.. I considered that idea actually. But the thing is, my girlfriend and I are seeing Wreck-It Ralph on Nov 2nd and I'm gonna need the majority of that money for the movie, food and some tokens. (We're both gamers so yeah.)

Thank you J. I guess I'll need a credit card soon then. DAZ, since you have the game I'd go see Wreck-it Ralph. Two copies is cool (just in case) but a happy couple enjoying what they love, priceless.

For everything else, there's PoE's.

Go to Ubisoft's Facebook page. They've got a 15% off code due to a lot of people not being able to pick the game up because of the weather.

Slowly, but surely, the job gets done.

Good news. My Gamestop pre-Order for PC was correct, and I supposedly will get the pre-order bonus. Not holding my breath though, because a different Gamestop employee once told me they were in talks to buy Steam because their online distribution system is doing so well.

Got it Crazy Now I just need my cheque to come in so I can buy a PS3 and let Daz and McStab know how the functionality is! Please let the game be all patched-up..
