Ordered one.

This game just seems like something I could fall in love with and if I do, I'd hate myself for not getting the book.

Just cannot bring myself to throw down another forty bucks plus shipping for a heavy-ass book and stuffed animal with a game that's gonna be a clearance bomba by the end of the year.

Sorry Bamco.
 
Maybe a mod could update the topic title to reflect the Sept. 3rd cut-off. I have a feeling a lot of people are probably not aware.

Can you answer my question plz? lol thanks ;__;

I heard that people who use Pay Pal get charged immediately and don't get it put back. I used my debit card and got charged immediately but got the money back in 5 or so days.

This game comes out January 22nd, 2013 in the US. So I guess you can wait 5-11 months? =p

Edit: Also, the book is only 300+ pages. I have a 1300 page A+ Cert book and it's heavy but not THAT heavy. And in the video I saw on gamespot I think it was it's not even as big as that. =)

Dammit I have the book in Japanese, which I can sorta read. I don't know if I want to drop $100+ for the book in English. I'm assuming people wouldn't sell off the book lol.

I'm sure people will sell the book...but I'd expect it to go for $60+ on its own, possibly a lot more.
 
do they charge your card when you pre order instantly? Or do they charge when its ready to ship?

If you use Paypal, you are charged immediately. If you use a credit or debit card they will do a test charge then return the funds within a few days.

Yes, I would not be surprised to see this as well after release. And thought the wizard editions being sold in other parts of the world, the NA/CA version will be very limits and contain items that the other versions will not. It smells like a great collectible to me! I'm actually considering buying a second copy to keep sealed.

Come on, people! If you're on the fence, buy it! Today is your last day to pre-order it!

I gotta mess a few things around like cancelling my P4G preorder, but I might preorder this edition sometime today. I've heard so many wonderful details about this beauty.

Man...so close to pulling the trigger on the Wizard edition...

What's the consensus on the game overall? For this price I want to be blown away...
 
Considering how few of these they are making - less than 5000! - and the fact that you have to preorder it by today to get it, the value should be pretty darn good, for those that care about such a thing. Me, I don't really collect things for that purpose - I still have my GBC cartridge of Shantae and my steelcase of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and I'm not planning on selling those.

I am definitely going to figure out how to cancel this preorder. Over $100 is just too much for mediocre bonuses.

Well, to each his own, but I feel like the book is one of the best bonuses that's ever been offered in an LE.

Yeah, I don't see how anyone could call this mediocre, especially since it improves the actual gameplay of the game

Yeah, you're not generally supposed to, but people use "an historic" all the time.
I don't think that's right though, since that's a hard "H" too. I think that stems from habit as opposed to following proper grammar.

An example of a word that stars with a consonant that you should use "an" before would be "hour", because it starts with a vowel sound. (Half an hour...) Alternatively there are words that start with vowels like "one" and "unicorn" that wouldn't be preceded be the word an because they don't start with vowel sounds.
 
FUUUUUUUUUUUU didn't know there was a deadline, so glad I saw the thread the other day and pre-ordered the CE. I think it's..................... destiny.

That book looks AMAZING!
