Pre-ordering 360 version CE.
This is going to be the one I am looking forward to for next year (bar FFXIII).

The CE certainly has much better box art. I still can’t quite believe that monstrosity they’ve picked for the normal version.
Hunam said:
I dunno, whilst the normal artwork is hardly amazing, it reminds me of the book covers from crappy 70’s sci novels.
Blerk said:
That’s precisely why it’s shit.

Love the use of quotation marks on
-A “premium, tin case”
So it’s neither premium nor tin then?
Hunam said:
Pfft, you suck.

Want so much only 3 month to go. What gamerscore do you guys have on this game? An annoying thing about the first is that you had to play it like 7 times to get the full 1k
