hmmm?  I thought for sure I heard otherwise.

Edit:  In fact, what I am reading right now seems to indicate that I was right.  The early reviews (those first 25 or so) came from the "bootcamps" where you had to agree to come out there and review based on observed gameplay.  I'll keep looking, but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this...

Konami give two types of reviews this time...

1. The review event for small outlets with 3 days to play the game.
2. Retail copies sent to big outlets.

That was showed in GAF... some pressers said they received the retail copy and others said they was only invited to the event.

Greg Miller posted his retail copy (IGN) on twiiter on August 21st... they received a retail copy instead the need to go to the reviewer event.

Yeah, like I said in my last edit it seems the biggest of the big got retail coppies.  Still seems like the vast majority of reviewers either got invited to the bootcamps or snubbed.  Personally, that's not cool by my standards.  But anyway, this is off topic
