Since am a prime member at amazon. Is it going to be here first thing in the morning, June 14th?

It will be at your house anytime from 9am to 7PM, if it is scheduled to be delivered that day.


It really depends on where your house falls on their route that day. I usually get release day delivery games at 10 or 11 AM but I have gotten them past 6PM as well.

Eaton? Toronto right? Oh and saw Naughty dog guys on Reddit. Answering questions and stuff.

Yeah. I convinced my friends to grab the GoW Saga Collection and Infamous Collection as well on the same day. I mean its nothing noteworthy because they were just compilation collections, but walking out with some games before the release date from the flag store felt good. It was a mistake on their part though since they shifted the release date a week early compared to EB.


But yeah, EB won't budge.


You will have better luck with local mom n' pops, Walmart (definitely Walmart, they also broke the release date for some notable games I recall from my when I used to browse RFD), or local classifieds and flea markets.
 
Playing The Last of Us makes me wonder why everyone is so desperate for next-gen graphics. I guess not every developer can get as much out of hardware as Naughty Dog. But still.

It's not even about graphics for me, it's about RAM. There are so many more possibilities open to devs when they have more memory to play with. I've been ready for next gen for 3 years because even if the devs say "Oh there's a lot of power left in these machines," open world games are shaking their heads and desperately crying out for some breathing room.

Am happy to see stuff like ND sending off the PS3 with this game, and Rockstar bringing out a gigantic GTA sequel late in the gen? Sure. Would I prefer if they were next gen launch window titles? Hell yes. Is The Last of Us satiating my hunger for better tech? Hell no.

Cousin works on Superstore. I'll ask her if its possible for her to get one out early :O

I am torn. I love new systems but I still play my ps3 and 360 regularly now and have a huge supply of untapped games. I feel like I should sit out a year or two and play my wii u more.

Maybe if launches and availability are light I will pass on next gen and play Beyond and GT6 :)

More power or next gen hardware is not all about making things shinier, you can open up levels a lot more with better hardware and you aren't as limited.

I bet if you saw TLOU running on a PS4 all decked out though you'd change your mind :P in a game like this immersion is key and visuals go a long way towards immersion
 
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
looks like walkthorughs are popping up on YT. So you may want to stay off of there.


Found it by accident and there was a spoiler in the pic too
 
At least you all have E3 as a pretty huge distraction.

Considering buying a PS3 for this game primarily, bit also for everything else I've missed out on on Sony's side of things this gen. I would get the 500GB Slim with a great of PS+ if I did.
 
Have been playing the game all day.....

Guys, this is the game of the generation without any doubt.

Anyone who give this masterpiece below a perfect score deserve to be yelled at.

ND went even beyond their limitation which was already impossible and made a game that will make your jaw drops millions of times.

The amount of details is just CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY.

Whoever made this game aren't human... they are supper human.

Having the best time of the generation, enjoying every single moment... can't believe how much I'm enjoying this game.

You guys are about to experience something like never before... and you will remember my words when you play this amazing mind blowing game.

Dammit I can't stop playing it I don't want this to end :(

Why not all games like this?

It feels like a game from PS1 and early PS2 era.

OMG!
 
There are spoilers in every nook and cranny of the net right now :/ it's Bioshock all over again

I already knew but still, total dick moves
Way, way worse.

The Bioshock spoilers weren't even an issue until like 2-3 days before the street date. We're a full week out right now.

Very true, plus I read the spoilers like a month ago after the leak. So it is a great magnitude worse.

Still sucks for anyone who gets spoiled unintentionally though, it's one of the worst feelings
 
I keep checking this thread in hopes that the monkey jumps out of his cage in sony HQ and flips the switch early for download.
 

Fucking best reply GIF ever.

Starting to get hyped for this game. I have a friend who will almost certainly buy it day one for the single player - so I'm unsure on whether to buy it, or just wait until he is done and borrow it. I guess it depends on what JB Hi Fi are charging.
 
I just got the ending spoiled for me in the youtube comments for sesslers (rev3) review on youtube.

Man fuck youtube. That pisses me off. Hype is like -4 now.

edit: and the dude is like replying to everyone even if they aren't asking about the ending, just screaming about it. fuck the internet man.

Fuck man, If using chrome use the Herp derp filter from the store for future spoiler free youtube comments

At first I was going to counter this by saying I would die to play this at 60fps on PS4, but then I thought, who am I kidding. Next gen consoles are NOT going to push 60fps as a standard.

Gotta be careful dude. If spoilers are a really big thing for you then I don't know why you were even on youtube reviews anyway. Spoilers are rampant everywhere
 
Who knew that "The Last of Us" is actually referring to the people that dont know how the game ends by the release date?

i have this fear when we go into OT someone (maybe a junior) is gonna fumble on the spoiler tags and just ruin everything

OMG did you guys cry when joel ate elle

Yeah. Playing with fire looking at any information surrounding the game unfortunately. I was looking for some streams on twitch, but I think it is media blackout time.
