Best Buy changed up their Gamer's Club Unlocked late last year.  They had a special offer if you had been a previous member where you could join for 2 years for $30.  The normal price of it is 2 years for $120 now ( :o I know, but bear with me...) but they often run it on sale for 2 years for $60 - that might be still going on now.

So why on earth would you want to spend $60 for 2 years of their membership?  Simple - they give you 20% off of every new game you purchase.  That 20% comes off of sale prices and stacks with other deals, like their "preorder certain games & get $10 store credit back".  Since most of the big releases for the rest of the year fall under THAT deal, that makes them (for me, with my 10% sales tax) $60 - 20% = $48 + 10% tax = $52.80 - $10 credit back = $42.80.  Roughly $43 for a day-1 new release?  You can't beat that.  So that $30/year membership fee will quickly pay for itself.  :D

And that's not even taking into account the preorder bonus DLC they usually give you, which I typically immediately sell on ebay for about a $10 profit.  ;)

I am tempted by that Natural Doctrine.  Is the game out in Japan yet?  Just wondering if there are any reviews/opinions of it floating around yet.

It is out in Japan already, there's a few reviews out for it. Though, I haven't seen too many English reviews of it yet. I'll link the one I found at the end of my post (the reviewer gave it a whole 4/10 points :-\). Famitsu seemed to like it though, with the PS3 version received a 31/40 and the Vita version a 30/40 (not too bad). :)

I watched a gameplay video and it looks interesting, but the environments are very plain and barely look like PS3 era, much less PS4.  Not that graphics are everything.  But I'm just not sure it screams full price preorder to me.

I agree. The limited edition is rather underwhelming too. An art book, a bag I'll never use/know where to keep, and a tear-resistant poster. Golly gee NISA... thanks I guess. ??? NISA's LEs have been pretty disappointing lately.

I just ordered an import, the UK version of Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, since apparently the US didn't rate a physical release.   ::)

Thanks! Hopefully they'll have more in the future so I don't have to get one right now. :P
