Ni no Kuni for PS3

[psydswipe]

I also don't often pay attention to mainstream media's review scores, though I will read reviews, more so after playing a game to see why I think a game isn't as good as a score I see. In any case, IGN sure likes this game: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/15/ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-review

I agree, I tend to look to youtube for reviews these days and listen to reviews from people who like the same games as me.  One more week!  I pulled out a second tv so my cousin can come over and we can play at the same time   We did this for Skyrim as well.

If I had extra money I'd go for it. But as it stands I'm still gonna pass on it.

Hopefully Darko sees this as he mentioned he wanted the wizard's edition.

Indeed I did. I'll try to pick one up tomorrow.

I might also try to help crash their site as a friend of mine was having regrets about not getting one in September.  Orrrr I can hold it over Scott's head for whenever he gets money :$

EDITED: BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THE PURCHASE LINK ON THEIR FB POST.

Behold! an unboxing video of the Wizard's Edition! That artbook is looking pretty freakin' sweet:

[jobocan]

I'm starting to be really hyped for this.
I'm never satisfied by limited editions like this (though I'm looking at the unboxing and this is nice stuff), but in this case I really wanted to support the release of a great-looking JRPG, since sadly a lot of gamers nowadays aren't interested in them anymore and the games need any support they can get.

Me too - I really wanted to support this one as well

I missed-out on the Wizard's Edition...and it made my day to see our DESOCIETAS' post & link this morning...until I found out that I couldn't order one...or even join the store 

[soera]

Why would you not be able to join?

I just ordered an extra one, but it's still available.  That link I posted above is just to the description page, unfortunately. They want you to go to the main Club Namco (http://store.namcobandaigames.com/)  site and there's a tiny button that says PREORDER when they show the Ni No Kuni image.  Click on that and you'll be set! (and out $100...)

Sorry, I was confused, too, when I was looking at the item page.  Just had copypasta'd what the FB post said.

[disgaeniac]

Why would you not be able to join?

I...just couldn't...*FIND* anything there 

I mean - I saw the item/Item-description...but could not find anything like an "add to cart" and/or "buy this item"...anywhere...

As for *Joining*...

...All I could find was "Log-in to your account" / (using your e-mail addy + password)...same as before...I could *NOT* find:

"Make/Create a New Account", etc...

Has anybody *HERE* actually been able to *Sucessfully* complete and/or pre-order (w/ some/ sort of accompanying order-confirmation) a Ni No Kuni: Wizard's Edition through this link yet?

Yup! I got one and it looks like the preorder button is still working.  Check my reply above your's - I put up instructions (it's different than how I ordered it the first time around).
