If you recall, pretty much all Microsoft exclusives have had the $10 preorder bonus attached--Sunset Overdrive and Halo: Master Chief Collection most recently--while Sony exclusives get the shaft. Or maybe Sony doesn't think they need to add a preorder bonus to get sales (which is dumb IMO), so they don't ask Best Buy to add them. Or maybe Best Buy has a Microsoft bias. Who knows?

E. Who knows/all of the above.

I do recall those having it, but wasn't sure if any big Sony exclusives had or not. I was just going by the current list.

 
I'm also hoping that The Order is good, but my hesitation ever since they first released gameplay is that the shooting looks like it just plain sucks. The aiming reticle looks like it is really wide for most guns, which could make it annoying.  Can't really make that call just from watching a video, though. I hope to be proven wrong next week (will probably pick up day one because Best Buy).

I am just looking for a decent setting/story to carry me through it. The shooting doesnt have to be 100% accurate for me. I never thought Uncharted games had great shooting yet I really enjoy all of them.

I am really looking forward to being a graphics whore on this one.

True. I've always thought Uncharted's shooting was a little wonky, too. I don't know if it's so much the aiming or that the enemies take just a little more bullets to kill than I think they oughta. Still great games, though.

Definitely hope The Order has a solid story because the few gameplay videos I watched seemed to spend A LOT of time in cutscenese. Gonna be one of those games when you don't realize that you have control of your character again because it moves in and out of cutscenes so much.

 
Watch out for girl scouts.  My brother in law somehow paid $10 a box for a few boxes last year.  We laughed at him mercilessly for that one.

I'm really interested to see how it is, got in on 2 of the $47.99 CE's from the BB glitch a while back.
 
Samoas are the best! Might try some of the new cookies this year, though. And we always getting one box of Thin Mints.

Also, thanks for picking Monster Bash, Soph, so I can work on the wizard goals. There's an easter egg way of getting Lyman's Lament (which is one of the wizard goals), but I tried that once and it didn't give me credit for the goal so I guess you need to get that legit.

Yeah I am in day one too. With GCU if it is a turd I can probably trade it back for $44. For $7 or so (with tax) I am willing to take the chance.

Those top sellers blog posts should really be 'here's a list of shit we had on sale last month and also Minecraft.'. Although I guess RE didn't have any discount did it?

No, but that was a new release wasn't it? Those make the list too usually.

EDIT: And GTA 5 is usually on there whether it is on sale or not.

New/recent releases tend to top the charts pretty often too.

And I get that kids like Minecraft. I just never see kids with a Vita so it kind of skews my perception to the Vita is mostly played by adults, I guess. There were some profile pics with Minecraft when it came out but it's not been a common one in here since then.

 
Is everyone enjoying getting to see so much Amy today? This one's for all my mobile bitches:

The game's actually pretty hilarious if you can get past the horrible gameplay.

Open sign ups now, no invite needed. 7 day free trial too. Gonna sign up when I get home and see how it is.

Looking at the site you can add packages for 5/month, one adds more espn channels and the sec network. 25/month gets you basically all the sports channels you need. Pair that with a hdtv antenna and you would cover almost all sports for 25/month.

Not bad...

Nope nope nope. Just got a lucky stretch of gaps to sail through. I don't think I'd gotten above 30 before I got my 50. It's just like a Sound Shapes death mode level. Need the right combination of luck board placement with twitchy-ass reflexes.

Yeah that challenge is bullshit it moves too fast to always make the right decision.

I like to believe I never had a motion sickness issue before, but it has hit me pretty hard a few times lately. I really wonder if that was the reason I hated Mirror's Edge and just didn't really think about it.

That game last night made me feel off as soon as you took some of those quick turns.

Did you shoot the stage scoop (or whatever it's called) to activate it? I just read about that flipper combo to activate it this morning, but it said you also have to shoot the scoop to actually start the mode. Also, that's a cool mode to have in a game. Love that table.

I crossed off all the billboards on a printed out map compared to the billboard map on my drive screen and it says I'm missing two. Hope I just crossed two off by mistake on the paper and they didn't glitch. If they glitched then I have to drive through all of them again until I find the two that didn't register. Guess I'll print another map and try again.

Oh my mistake for missing the non-existent multiple choice question. D:

@jimbo: at least I'm not the only one. I was like wtf am I supposed to be doing?!

Thats why it was funny. Vig listed like 4-5 options and pharm responded like he was giving a multiple choice question and pharms multiple choice answer was all of the above that vig stated.

That pharm, hes so clever.

Well, yeah. I shot the scoop. It is true that sometimes Pinball Arcade occasionally doesn't give you credit for goals when it should, so it could have been one of those times. I will try it again. Note that the easter egg way is noted in the Monster Bash instructions in Pinball Arcade.

God damn it, don't make me paranoid for the billboards too. I am already worried about the security gates. I thought the billboards and car jack locations would be fine since there are maps to track those.

I have never seen another adult with a Vita. I have seen a kid with a Vita, though - a friend of our kids. He has Minecraft on it.

Just thought I'd check. I don't think I've had issues with the goal not showing up when I've achieved it. And yeah I found out about the easte egg way via the instructions on the ol' Vita this morning.

EDIT:
Just read this in pst.org
"Note that the in-game instructions provide a cheat code to activate Lyman's Lament on your first ball. Using this cheat code will not give you the goal – you have to do it legit.
