@loadedstatement: IMO, casuals will NOT be buying this game, not for themselves. I consider myself casual to mildly hardcore. I'm getting this game, but not for myself. I'm getting it for my son, who is hardcore. Even with the simplified controls, I'm thinking I can't compete. A game ain't fun if you can never win. but I think there's enough hardcore that will buy this game that it won't matter if the casuals don't.


I haven't reserved because I don't trust any of the stores anymore. Thirty something people reserved a copy of SMG at toys r us in my area and the stupid store only got a few copies. What good was it for those people who tied up their money and were made to wait until toys r us did get enough of them? Not worth it. I can wait for it to be in stock if I can't get it right away, and keep the flexibility of being able to buy it the second I see one instead of waiting for some toy company to figure out what the purpose of "reserving" is.
