Damn, Im a bit late to the party :(
I picked it up Wednesday Night at 7pm with a friend of mine (who did as well). We sat in the Gamestop for about an hour after purchasing the game, talking to the manager about it (he was playing it as well as the other employee in the store). While there, 3 people came in to pick up their preorders as well (with a fourth buying the game without a preorder).
Im very happy with my purchase and it sounds like so are many of you :) This is the only game that I can think of that your character has basically NOTHING to do with the entire story (atleast so far) and Im digging it.
