[RU_]

Just read that target are going to release at 9pm. Dunno how true that is though..

Aren’t they shut at 9pm?

A quick google looks like it’s America though.

Just called my store, trading FIFA 18 and Forza Horizon 3 for the deal and it’s all good - said that FIFA is paying $11.

Need thoughts from you lot. Got a store about 9 kilometres away doing a midnight launch - I have to wake up at 5am tomorrow, however I could sacrifice the sleep to have it install while I sleep, and then I finish tomorrow around 12:30 which means by 1pm I’ll be playing.. or I pick it up around 1pm and cross fingers it installs real quick?

I have to wake up for work at 4am, and am picking it up at midnight. Just do it

yeah the guy at the store thought fall out would be worth more than D2

you really just got to take a few games in and see what happens, i only had the 3 physicals I was willing to part with so was lucky

My local wouldn't take D2. [emoji25]

Traded Until Dawn and RE7 and got it for $25 though so all good.

I used to do the same but with early starts I can’t handle the sleep deprivation anymore. It won’t take long to install anyway unless you insist on waiting for the patch to download (which won’t be necessary to start playing). You’ll be up and going in minutes from when you chuck the game in. Maybe a few more minutes if there is an in game install like GTA.

They value the games on the number of trade ins. Everyone trades in sports games annually once the new one is out so they usually drop pretty significantly in price. When I’m getting a new FIFA I usually trade the old one in a week in advance because if you do it on the new release day then the value drops like a rock.

No midnight launch in WA as usual, but they have it in Canberra. Is it a law or just WA being WA?

bye bye life

I fell in love with RDR1. It was such a beautifully crafted game, the narrative was amazing and it made me fall in love with westerns in general. In the years that have passed, I've enjoyed a lot of westerns, both classical and revisionist westerns.

In 24 hours I hopefully will be 3 hours into a game I will love as deeply.... while also half drunk.

bye bye life

What the **** is life?

I think its more to do with the 50 extra reviews that were done on a PS4.

Open critic has the game at 97. and doesnt split reviews by platform used.
