Just wanted to be a part of the last few posts in this thread.
I'd also like to petition people getting the game early to spoiler tag stuff. Some of us aren't really itching to have every single little tidbit about the game revealed on day one. With these types of games, I love to pop it in, screw around with the menus, look at the Extras option, and then find easter eggs myself.
But we'd also still like to contribute to any OT's about the game. It's kind of lame to be forced to avoid All Stars threads, when you want to be part of the fun and hype, without being spoiled.
I have my order with Amazon pre-ordered, but God Damn, if I can get it early like I did some other stuff (ie, LBP Vita nearly a week early), I'll probably break down and get it, even if I have to...get it from GameStop (ugh).
