Around the Network

You should get Who Wants to be a Millionaire: 1st Edition/Wii. 

User reviews on amazon seem to have glowing praise for the title, saying it's a "poor, a pathetic attempt at bringing the gameshow to the wii platform. You could get the same performance out of the DVD version, and DVD games have the same feel - slow, predictable, repetitive and dull. This Wii rendition is simply a DVD game in a Wii platform, badly produced and I would seriously deter anybody from purchasing this title"



Dishonored
Bioshock Infinite
DMC (It is not even on the list damn you America >.



wow I really though resident evil 6 would get Higher per orders



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Dead Space 3 and why you should Pre-order this game with me.

After Dead Space 2 some how out doing Dead Space 1. Dead Space 2 has 2 player action. On top of that we are going to on a new planet and most likely some new mutated creatures. Here I will post video below. I want you to get hyped for this game and if you have not played the others, do so!! They are cheap and something great you can play through for halloween.

Co-op E3 Trailer.

XCOM because it's a deep gameplay experience in a genre uncommon on consoles.

Dishonored because it's a thinking man's shooter.

But why do you pre-order in the first place? What incentives do you have to pre-order? In my country it's meaningless to pre-order unless the publisher tied an in-game exclusive to a pre-order (get this suit and weapon if you pre-order), which is rare and pretty much useless anyway.

You totally convinced me on this one. Sounds great. I can waste a sh-t load of time and be mad at the same time. Sounds like the political threads I visit on this site.

Few good laugh this morning. I needed that. Woke up off a bad dream.

I have a room that is entirely dedicated for gaming. I even got glass shelfing up for all my limited edition gaming stuff. So if I really like the game I do usually get the add on's. Like dead space 3, I will for sure be getting what ever they want to give. I have a sh-t load of stuff I have gathered over the years. Including things people buy me for christmas.

Also yes some store's like best buy give you a lot of points and I am a silver card member, which mean anyone of my family that goes to best buy uses my card and I get points LOL. I really don't spend the 2500 a year to keep it. Others always have something they want and it is my card they use. I do buy stuff but hardly what they think. I'm building my surround sound and all I need next is my center speaker. All polk audio and a Klipsch sub woofer that shakes my neighbors house. However I have been building this for almost a year. Everytime I pay off my credit card I use it again to buy a speaker. I'm trying to build better credit. It's not that bad but needs some work.

I know you did not ask for all this info but felt like going on, My bad.

lol, it was an interesting read. I love surround systems too.

But back to incentives, that Best Buy silver card, you probably get points even if you decide to buy the game on release without a pre-order, correct?

So it boilds down to the pre-order incentives that some publishers put in, sometimes tied to a particular store, correct?

Now let's say you go to Best Buy and they tell you game X has no special exclusive items tied to it, why would you pre-order it?
