I'm waiting on parents reviews before getting it for my daughter and I. I'm also waiting to see if I should get us the Wii U or 3DS version.
It's been said that the 3DS version is basically a supplemental game that isn't like the console versions.

In the GB quick look today, the devs compared it to Mario party if that helps you at all.
Wondering this too. Although everytime I've seen it demoed it's been the 360 version.
Disney will curate and upload the good ones. There will be a browser similar to LBP
It's cross platform as well. I can make a level on my Wii U and submit it to Disney and if they put it on the server then it'll be accessible on your PS3.bloodyroarxx

My 3 1/2 year old seen the Monsters Inc guys and the Cars ones and is absolutely in love with them. We think we are going to go all out on it for xmas for the house since we are huge Disney fans.
He was already really excited to look at the Skylanders guys so this just made it a no brainer
I love Disney.. and I love collecting figures and such so this seemed like a must buy.. but I will be boxing up my current gen console in three months so I'm not sure how much play-ability I can get out of it.
I have to say though.. the day 1 toy box download of Disneyland sounds fucking amazing. I've almost bought the Kinect Disneyland game about a thousand times just to be able to walk around Disneyland and relive the memories.

Ahh.. this game. I would be so over this if it wasn't locked behind a business model that will literally eat my wallet alive.
I'm gonna wait until October if I can for when the Toy Story playset releases, and hopefully pick up the Starter Pack cheaper by that point.

For what it's worth, the Gamestop Pre-order bonus is a free single figure and a free power disc pack. 15 bucks worth of free stuff ain't bad.

Buying just for some of the figures...but I will try out the game as well. Buying the WiR pack ASAP when it comes out.

Yeah I saw that. Makes things even harder, because if I'm wrong and it doesn't actually get cheaper relatively soon, I missed out on the extra stuff for no reason either. :|
Dammit Disney.

I knew about the figures, but the random disc thing is new to me. That shit is insidious. I like the characters, and I like the Toy Story game this team made, but fuck this Infinity stuff. It seems like a business plan first and video game second.

They've spent over 3 years making this. It's been delayed many times.
It's why the play sets include Monsters University and Lone Ranger. They were supposed to have the game AND release those sets WITH the movie AFTER release to promote them.

I remember when Mattel tried this with the Hyperscan, and nobody cared. This looks cool though.
Huge install base, plus the target audience isn't buying next gen consoles at launch. Parents won't have to spend money on a new console to get this.
I guess something has to pay for The Lone Ranger.

A friend of mine got a french pal Ps3 version yesterday (1 month before launch in france ?! ) and we played all afternoon so I'll post some more detailed impressions later.
So far : it´s fun to play, especially toybox with 2 players. The main games themed after the 3 starter pack characters look nice but with some rough textures on some objects. Some NPC have pixellated portraits that are maybe inherited from the wii or 3ds version (or from a choice to compress textures for faster loading.)
Some upcoming playable characters we spotted in the collection room :
Anna an Elza from Frozen
2 characters from Phineas and Ferb
Jack Skellington
Raspûnzel from tangled
Ralph and Vanellope from Wreck it Ralph
Mickey the apprentice from Fantasia
These (buyable) characters/figures are all visible once you play the game, and all have a little trailer. When you put a figure on the stand for the first time, a statue appears.
Edit: De-spoilered the names that didn´t need it (info in the op)

Those characters are in the OP and publicly announced, so no need to spoiler mark it..

I'm going WiiU because I have a feeling my 360 and PS3 won't get much play time in the future. Especially after I get my Xbox One. Besides WiiU should handle this game better if they optimized it properly.
Maybe go for adoption so you can skip the long boot up time that comes with building from scratch.

The same team that ported Epic Mickey 2 to the Wii U did this.
Take that as you will.

Cool to see Rapunzel on the way too. Hopefully Flynn Rider too.
Yeah I tried convincing her that we should adopt a seventeen year old thai girl, but to no avail.

I commented on this earlier. As someone else replied, starting off as Pixar Infinity is a good way to get the younger kids to drag their parents to buy the thing first, with older movies and characters coming out after it's more established.
Not a terrible strategy, but I feel there should have still been some characters from the older movies, mixed in with the Pixar. Hopefully we get Aladdin and the gang before too long. (or maybe Saving it for season 2, ala Skylanders Giants.)

I'm sort of interested in the game but the price is too high and there's so much expensive DLC.
The 360 and PS3 aren't going to vaporize overnight. Many games are still going to be multiplatted onto 360/PS3 for the next two years, minimum.

Whelp, I just pre-ordered about $200 worth of stuff. Good thing I had a $150 Amazon credit to use. This game is going to hurt the wallet!

I'n dying to try this game out, but there is no way I'm shelling out massive amounts for only a few fractions of the game. Maybe I'll pick up the starter pack in a few years and leave it at that.
That's not how it works... Every play set has 6-10 hours of content. You're getting 30 hours from the starter pack for just the original story. Then unlimited hours in the toy box and alternative missions.
If the game is anything like Skylanders then prices are likely to go up than down over time.
