Pre-order Lost Odyssey from HMV before the game launches in the EU (perhaps only in Britain) this Friday and you get 1000 Microsoft Points.  

This game really is awesome (I'm almost finished it), so if anyone in Britain was planning on getting it anyway, this is a deal to think very hard about.  If anyone wasn't planning on getting it, you need to go and sit quietly somewhere and ask yourself if you really are living your life to it's fullest. 

Too bad this deal isn't available in North America

I reckon. I wish I could have gotten something like this here In Australia. IT really is an incredible game.

I'm pretty sure most people will get well over 40hours out of the game, from what i have seen most are getting over 70hours.

I've beaten the first disc, and I'm about 1/4 way through the second one and it's taken me ~10 hours.

Damn, I really want my 360 back so I can play this friggin' game.

The reviews on this game dont seem to great. It actually looks cool, but I here its pretty generic jrpg. What happened? The guy who created FF seems to be stuck on old rpg gameplay, (like with blue dragon). I hear its better than BD, so lets hope the next one is awesome!

Jankaz - have you ever played and enjoyed a Final Fantasy game? Its like FPS games: certain aspects work well. The JRPG genre hasn't evolved much in the past 15 years, but LO is the near perfection of the genre.

Its just freakin awesome! I cant take my thoughts away about Lost Odyssey, yet.
A deep and great masterpiece.

I'll admit I went into playing this game skeptically, but it's actually a fairly good game. Doesn't do anything new, but doesn't do anything wrong either.

I'm just starting Disc 2 right now, and am very impressed.
