Its priced $20 below other 360 games right now, pretty odd to see that. I would say it will sell over 1mil.

WTF are you talking about? Blue Dragon is $59.99. Its not $39.99.

Disappointing start.

Also, where is the advertising? MS usually advertises the crap out of any and every game of note on the 360 and this game, a 1st party game, gets zero advertising? ridiculous.

It seems that they don't expect much from it in the US. On the same not Sony has done zero Lair advertising, but they aren't as good as MS at that anyway.

Yeah I agree ckmlb, I haven't see an TV commerical yet on Blue Dragon, but by me looking at the gameplay on gaming sites. It has me hooked. They placed ads in EBGames near where I live. So its just I think TV commericals is what generally get people to get a particular game, or it just basically improves the hype of the game.

I think word of mouth will help sales. I am on disk 3 and pretty sure close to beating it. If I had to give it a review so far it would be a 9.5 as I have truly enjoyed it. Hoping to beat it tonight or tomorow just in time to send it back to gamefly to get eternal sonata next week.
