well, still don't get charged until it's released anyways.

By the way, the joker looks soooooo damn cool. Reminds of the joker in the comics duirng the 80s.

Isn't there a PS3 exclusive Joker character if you preorder somewhere? Or is it just included in the PS3 version?

yes, the joker character is PS3 exclusive. But I will say it's more likely to be "time exclusive".

Yeah. You don't have to pre-order to get the Joker.

It really wouldn't matter if it was delayed or not: I'm getting the game anyway. Whether it comes out next month, or next year, I'll be getting it.

I'm not getting it until a price drop. Believe it or not, I have 14 games so far that has not even make it into my PS3, including GTA4, MGS4. There are certain games I'm stuck with playing all the time... and I can't devote time to play the new ones. I just have this compulsive behavior issue that I miust get those game when it first come out. I'm controlling it now.........

Oh yeah, me too.... It's just that many games NEVER even hit close to their initial street dates. Some even take years, *ahem*Gran Turismo 5*ahem* so why loan some company money even if it's just $5 $10. Also, unless you live in Smallville USA, the chances of it being out of stock at all of the 30 Walmarts, 15 Targets, 15 Meijers, 50 Gamestops, 50 EB's etc..... in town is extremely unlikely unless it's a Nintendo product.

Ditto. I'm in the same boat.

Haven't even OPENED Metal Geat Solid 4... Got it for free as a gift. Then my buddy got us both Saints Row 2 as a tide me over until Street Fighter IV came out... then Street Fighter IV came out. I also have Pure... and I had sold GTA IV and Warhawk but I bought them back (and have not played them since...)

Same here.

In case you're interested and haven't heard yet, the GameStop stores have a demo on their PS3 system in store. I played through it when I picked up Wolverine last week. It's very nice, and the combat is very fluid!

Yeah, I saw that too the other day.

If I was him, I'd go to gamestop, and get my credit back, AND get my cash back ( looks like he payed 10.00 in store credit, and 10.00 in cash. At least, that's how it looks. ).

Since the game is now offically dead, I'd be getting my money back....And laminating that receipt as well. :D

I wish I have a fallout 3 lunchbox.
The only thing I preordered in my life was HL2 gold pack and Metal Gear 4 with the gunmetal PS3.
