Ni no Kuni for PS3

[scott]

You know. If I had gotten it, I may have used it. Unlike the Assassin's Creed III one, which has a RP rating on the front of it, rather than the M rating, like we all knew it was going to get. Believe it or not, that RP rating on the front is the whole reason I'm not using it. If they had just left it plain, it would have been cool. Instead they marred it with a BS icon.

The Ni No Kuni one looks cool.

Ill try to get you one Scott.

[scott]

Ha cool. Thanks. But it's really no big deal.

I just stopped by my local shop and they said the cases were first come, first serve for preorders and that I couldn't get one until release date  :'(

There was a stack of maybe 10 or so on the counter behind them, too   Thankfully, I work around the corner and will just go over there when they open and hope for the best.

So... obviously the policy for the steelbook cases are YMMV.  Good luck to other preorder folks!

I did Amazon order and then the one off the website.. the Steel Book on Amazon says it will be in in the next 2 days. but we will see

All right peoples, today is the day. Ill be leaving in a bit to pick up my copy! Good luck everyone!!!

[libernullmal]

Mailman didn't show up this morning.. I truly think he is playing my copy and enjoying the plush ....

[scott]

My copy says it's out for delivery. I don't know if I'll be playing it tonight or not though.

[desocietas]

I'm leaving in a few minutes to get some coffee and stalk whoever is opening up the GS around the corner...

UPDATE (10:32a PST): Okay, just got mine.  Has a small dent on the back and some tiny scuffs and scratches, but I'm not going to whine (too much) about it.  It was the manager (I think) working, and he's nice to me, but I feel like I've asked for a lot of favors in the last week or so from GS in general and didn't want to be a brat .  If anything, I did ask about any promo posters and he said if they get any (they didn't have any so far), he'd put it aside for me.

[desocietas]

Updated the item record with proper scans.  The promo image showing it from the 3/4 angle is misleading as the spine is actually partially white.

[scott]

That's pretty.

[desocietas]

Yeah; I really like the back image, and they printed it so that different sections were glossy while others were matte.

Glad they didn't clutter it up with a ratings box and other junk.

[scott]

According to tracking, mine has been delivered!

[libernullmal]

I don't think it shipped on the Namco/Bandia site all I have is the invoice no status on shipment or tracking number....guess no love either...

I haven't gotten any info about my shipment from Club Namco either... but I thought I read somewhere that they might not be shipping those until after the release date :\
