If I'm remembering correctly, and I'm likely not, schild gets review copies pretty regularly from Atlus (could be NIS). PennyArcade also has a review copy.  $60 regular. $70 deluxe. |

Been playing more of the American version of Demon's Souls. Fun fact: Experience under Dexterity is actually Falling Damage. Yea, dex decreases falling damage. GOOD TO KNOW.
Anyway, it's pretty much perfect now. Other than me being an anal retentive bastard, if you didn't get the Asian version, you owe it to yourself as a gamer to get this one. If you got the asian version, you should still get it just to endorse the localization of stuff like this.
Wait.. you're playing it but it's not released? Pre-release media copy to butter up the Website owner? Is this a joke post or are you mental? |

If I have save files with the Asia version and I put in the NA version, will I be able to play those save files? If so, can I play on NA servers with those files? Or do I have to install the game again with the NA version?

1. No. 2. No. 3. New version. Installs are based on the ID of the disc, so you'd need to install again. |

There's a difference between "review copies" and copies sent out to "butter people up". You could easily have had the copy sent out as a thank you gift (ie, butter) for all the viral publicity you've already given them on your website without any expectation of you writing a review of the US version. Didn't you already review the Jap version? WTF is C/D? |

This sentence perfectly summarizes why I'm excited for tomorrow: It's easiest to describe [Demon's Souls] as a single-player game that is played wholly online, taking the promises Peter Molyneux made about Fable II and actualizing them on the PlayStation 3. |

Really though, comparing it to the promise of Fable is a fallacy. Sure, it's playing alone together, but the sense of self-preservation and depravity in the face of overwhelming odds is far more realized in DS than Molyneux could've ever dreamed.
Of course, Molyneux will never play Demon's Souls because he lives in an ivory tower far away from where games exist.

Gamestop is so fucking awesome. By awesome, I mean retarded. I've received three automated calls from them today. First stated my preorder will be ready Tuesday evening. Second said Tuesday afternoon. Third said Tuesday.  |

If you got there and it wasn't ready, you'd bitch like no tomorrow that they didn't let you know.

I don't have a PS3 and my big screen TV broke :(
I was considering a PS3 for this game and now I don't have a decent TV to play on. /sigh Next year.

Nah, I live far enough away that I call first regardless. They had it, I now have it. Playing in about 1min. Also, I think I'm going Amazon from now on. |

AFAIK, only the cleaned up localization, no additional content. |

Yeah, Amazon is really a good company. Gets me my stuff cheap and quick. Why would anyone bother with Gamestop?

Didn't get very far into it before work, but the control scheme is pretty much the best I've ever seen in a console. Tutorial boss-thing ate me.

In hand!
I'm not one for strat guides (the fun for me being the learning, naturally), but the 150 page mini strat guide with the Deluxe Edition looks very necessary.

Are there any diffrerences between the Asian and the NA version? I'll buy the NA version for support at some point anyway, but if there are no differences I'll continue the Asian version instead of starting over.

Things currently not in stock at Gamestop: Demon's Souls. Local one had only brought in one copy, which was reserved. Amazon got my money. |

Serious question: Don't you guys have Kmarts and Targets and Walmarts in the same shopping centres/precincts/malls that also house these gamestops and EBs?
I can't figure out why you guys go there - and even worse when I see fucking Penny Arcade raging about it and then talking about how they crossed the street to get it from the department/variety store instead. Go to the shop that doesn't fuck you on stock and service and prices for mostly-gutted games if they're all close together.

Yes, those stores are in Gamestop's proximity. But I'm not much of a collector. If a game bores me and/or it's collecting dust and I know I'm not going to play it again, I get rid of it. Sure, I'd make a few more bucks off Ebaying them. But dumping them on a store is less time consuming for me.
So I wait till they have decent +$ trade in days and I take a bunch in at a time. They always give more in trade than they do giving out cash, so I just take the trade and apply it to something coming out soon.
When I don't have trade value with GS, I usually shop at Best Buy or Target. I think I might start going Amazon soon, but I just love going into a b&m store to get my nerd on.

I'm going through gamestop for this, but only because I had a stack of gift cards that got me the collectors edition for 0 cash out of my own wallet.

Okay, so I just ran through Boletarian Palace 1-1 and there is no dragon at the bridge. Is this a glitch?
