Oh.... Damn... Look at all the flaming. Just the right heat to cook a steak. I most likely will get this copy so enjoy yourselves with the flaming. :D

To the naysayers: Look at Uncharted. It faced a similar situation, though not as extreme as LBP. Itll be like that. Week 1 = week 2 sales probably.

So...can some posters PLEASE post some estimates, based on this SMASHING data for one day pre-orders. This is what I see so far...GH posted 500K on day 1, so what do you'll think LBP will post for Tuesday, the Twenty-Eighth day of the month of October in the year Two Thousand and Eight of our Lord. Normally, it's would just be a wag, but now that we've seen the pre-orders only (164K), it should be a bit easier for some prognostication.

its okay everybody im here to get rid of the fungus thats starcraft and whoever else wants to be exterminated

STARCRAFT OWNED anyone else agreeing with starcraft owned... this thread can now be officially locked

signed you friendly neighborhood sony hero U R NOT E

BTW, i propose something:

Since some people only look at the titles and post without knowing about the thread, i suggest that the titles from now on don't have any sales numbers, so at least more people reads the OP (i know some are gonna skip the OP and look only at the sales, but at least they will be less)...

Understand this. A few sales came from a broken street date, then there was a recall. Then only people who preordered the game could have picked it up AT GAMESTOP ONLY. The OFFICIAL release is today. Get that through your head. If you think there was supposed to be 2 million preorders (at one retailer btw) on top of 2 million leaked copies, then dare I say it, you're an idiot. Ban me for insulting if you have to, mods, but this guy is just delusional

INTERNET TOUGH GUY ALERT

The BB link shows a 24th release date...I think it's the incorrect link...so LBP does 600K this week?

There is one fundamental flaw in your effort to "own" me.

Most street date breakages occur in-store, not on websites. Traditionally, mistakes are made at regional or store levels, not on websites, which are primarily run by corporate level company departments.

Thanks for the effort you put in UrnotE, but it would've been better spent visiting stores and taking photos, something that would actually have given your post some relevance to the debate.

It isn't Sold Out. It's backordered, actually you can go to a store and buy it. Just select the "check stores" option, we have plenty of them in Texas.
