He's probably not getting it for free, just doesn't like admitting to buying PS3 games :rofl:

Lucky bugger anyway.

By the way just stay on a dark out for this, ****ing idiots now posting videos on youtube of new footage, but putting their own voice overs of the killer/other spoilers (unrelated to the footage playing).

I'm only reading this forum for anything about the game, not risking any spoilers! :)

I hope people do stay in the dark, as I won't get this for about a month :(

Don't worry any spoilers on Neowin will be posted with spoiler tags, mods will probably come down quite hard on idiots around here who waste anything.

As it's not a linear game (in one sense) I don't even want to read other people's spoilers, it's a game I'll play once to get "my story", I might share that for those that don't mind reading, then I'll replay the game again weeks/month later.

Definitely won't be doing back to back replays, just won't feel natural to me and I'll feel forced to make different decisions where as with some time passing, I might remember vaguely what I picked first time, but not so vividly to feel forced to choose something different for the sake of it.

Ordering this today with rush shipping from Amazon, it's supposed to be here tomorrow. I am getting a surround system in about a month, I wish I had it now so I could be completely immersed but I just can't wait. I guess I could replay it then but I'll already have went through the game.

I still can't believe it, especially after saying it in the thread.

Will probably be waiting a lot longer though, as he has to receive it first and then send it to me but that's alright when it's free.

I wont be buying this for at least 2 months unfortunately, I am running out of money and will be stupidly busy for the next couple of weeks anyway.

Though my birthday is march, I think I will get the gf to get me this and GoW3 for that.

I should be getting my gamefly copy in the mail this week, however I'm still very skeptical. I'm a pretty avid listener to video-game podcasts like joystiq, destructoid, and 1up, and some people are already saying "how did our reviewer give this game such a high review score?"

Hide from the the web! laugh.gif

Tis cool on Neowin anyway, I tend to always use spoiler tags for games unless they are properly old.

It's stood up well for something so different from the usual run of mill games

But unless you're willing to be patient with the first 1/4 of the game I'll doubt you'll stick through it to the end (slow starter).

Also someone who gets a copy in America tell us if you also get the 200 odd mb patch on boot, I know PAL copies have it for sure.

Soooo close to release, I'm pretty hyped up for this tbh - starts off the exclusive releases :P

Gavin, did you trade in MW2 at HMV? They didnt have the "trade MW2 in today for ?25 store credit" poster in the window, but I got ?27 put onto a gift card for MW2! Brilliant trade in prices.

And for the record all of you in the UK - HMV have VERY good "buy-back" prices on the latest games (Bioshock 2, AVP, etc.) ranging from ?30-35.

Gavin, did you trade in MW2 at HMV? They didnt have the "trade MW2 in today for £25 store credit" poster in the window, but I got £27 put onto a gift card for MW2! Brilliant trade in prices.

And for the record all of you in the UK - HMV have VERY good "buy-back" prices on the latest games (Bioshock 2, AVP, etc.) ranging from £30-35.

Wait so they gave you £27 for MW2 insteaf of £25? :/

If it was on a gift card, here's hoping I can use two gift cards at once, £37 off :laugh:

Yeah, the trade in price went up! :D

You're fine to use two gift cards, works the same as any shop - scan the card at the end and it deducts the final price, repeat if you have more than one gift card :P

EU advert for Heavy Rain - http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/02/23/heavy-rain-tv-ad-unveiled/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+SCEEBlog+(blog.eu.playstation.com)

I like it, I guess sometimes a more serious advert can be good (I know America will probably still get Kevin Butler) :p

Woah so happy, you didn't happen to ask if they were getting the special edition in-store?

No doubt us Scots get less for it :p

Actually yeah I did, he looked on the system and they didnt have the price up, just an estimate "54.99" which im guessing is the RRP. But the guy *did* say that it definitely would not sell for ?54.99.. I'll see how much it is on Friday.

RRP would be £54.99, but I've noticed they've taken the special edition off HMV.com, maybe because of demand? They were the exclusive retailer.

Anyway if they are maybe I'll need to haul my ass into town quicker than I was going to on Friday :laugh: I want the special edition considering I could potentially get £37 off it, and I do think it will be £54.99 in store. Was £39.99 online, then £44.99.

There will probably be other people trading in MW2 on Friday as well :laugh:

?25 for a used copy of MW2? PS3 and 360?

Think it's both yeah. It was definitely ?25 for both last week, traded in my MW2 on PS3 yesterday and got ?27.

Gav, the guy mentioned the rain effect on the box as they had their delivery. I'm going in before college on Friday, hopefully the shop will open a bit earlier than usual. Wont be getting the special edition if it's more than ?47 in store.

Ah right cool :D

I'm going to phone the store I'm going to to check, and see if I can reserve a copy, but I don't think I'll be able to do that over the phone - Can you even reserve copies at all with HMV?

I'll buy it even at an RRP of ?54.99, but it's only because I'll get ?37 off hopefully which equals ?18.
