I ended up pre-ordering it for Xbox 360... at GameStop. Before you all get your torches and pitchforks to drive me off the forum, I have two excuses: I really wanted the GameStop-exclusive pre-order content for this one, and I had a gift card for GameStop that I got when I resigned from my last job. That makes it okay, right?

I just need vindication. I've pre-ordered a game in GameStop, and I need to confess my sin to the Internet.

Before the boss kicks down my door and drags me off to work... this.

That's okay 'cause the sweetener with Steam and AP's pre order is Space Siege.... nuff said. :P

In the name of The router, The cable and the holy binary, I absolve you of your sins. Live well my child.

My copy of AP should arrive by mail in 2-3 hours, unfortunately I'll be in school by then :(

Erk, well, as much fun as gaming is we have to put it in perspective,... no that doesn't mean you should play hooky. :D

My copy arrived just as I was closing the front door. Why must you tempt me?

Got a phone call from GameStop asking me to come by and pick up my copy. I suppose I will, even if it's a bit pointless really. Won't have time to play it for at least a week :(

Fortunately it's not a perishable. So will they let you pick it up at your convenience? They should since you've paid already.

I don't know, there's probably an expiration date on the pre-order or something, but I'll have no trouble picking it up on the way to uni.

Cool, I haven't actually had a game on hold in a store, but music stores and places that sell DVDs have been good about holding items for a few days, even if I only had a deposit on them.

Well I get my copy in FUCKING NEVER and will start playing it ALSO FUCKING NEVER, and now I have to get back to work.

I've had ME2 sitting on my HD for three months, and L4D2 for six, and haven't even seen the splash screen for either yet.

I hate you all.

Would it help if I told you that it's a generic TPS with espionage elements thrown in? Of course you know the Earth is flat as well. :P
