Rockstar has the best fucking packaging ever. I love them, we got our copies in and the covers are gorgeous with the lifted font in shiny foil. The Gamestop DLC is packed in the game btw for those thinking they were going to snag a code.

Is there any stickers showing it's a Gamestop exclusive? I was thinking of returning my Amazon copy to Gamestop and keeping the Gamestop copy with the DLC case :p

There's been footage, on the Xbox 360 dashboard you can download LA Noire gameplay footage. They use the Xbox 360 buttons and not the PS3.

So it looks like Amazon is no longer offering release date delivery for L.A. Noire. :\
Click to expand...

Aw, man, I didn't notice.

I've been waiting though, still not sure if I'll get it, but if I do it'll be from Amazon as it's the best deal money wise for me.

I'm so far past just wanting day/night cycles. I know RAM is an issue this gen, but next gen I FULLY expect real time seasonal cycles in open world games, specifically GTA. Playing it on release, then coming back to it 3/6/9 months later, or anywhere in between could provide some GREAT visual variety. the seasons/holidays in Bully for example MADE the atmosphere of that game.

Yeah those are all great ideas. I never played Bully, but that sort of design sounds appealing and should be in more games, especially RPGs.

If you click between either version it shows Release Date Delivery for the 360 version but not for the PS3 version.

I'm having an argument with Amazon's customer service now about why hasn't my order been upgraded to free release date delivery

it won't let me and I bought it when it was in my gold box so I'm not willing to cancel

guy I'm chatting with is trying to claim some BS about how you can't get it if it wasn't available when you placed your order

Man I just went to check out on Amazon and all they'll give me is 2 day free now

damn it
Click to expand...
I've ordered stuff without release day delivery before and prime two-day has always gotten it to me on release day anyway. YMMV obviously

Maybe they'll add it back - it's not even Friday yet on the west coast.

Same here and I just canceled and re-did my order a few hours ago.

It's no longer listed on the page and the option wasn't available when I went to place my order. So it looks like I'm SOL.

Maybe I should wait to see if it comes back? Mannnn. Why am I taking so long to decide if I want to order this or not?

Ugh! I could've sworn I pre-ordered the damn game a long time ago, but now I checked my account and there is nothing on there. Guess I'll be SOL on Release delivery as well!

Er... no. It shows both with release date delivery. In fact, I had release date delivery with Amazon until I cancelled and rolled with Best Buy because I could earn an additional $20 in GC.

-edit-
Well, Amazon.com is glitched up the wazoo. Haha. Now it doesn't have release date delivery for the PS3.

That melee combat in the 15 minute video looked pretty lackluster.

Oh well, that is far from what the game is about. Still, day 1.

True.. fight scenes like in Heavy Rain could have worked well too I think..but it is more fun to actualy fight and not just do QTE

I don't think the "grapple" was explained well. Painful to watch as the player just hit triangle to start the grapple every time. Never played a WWE game, I see.

Not only did it look lackluster, it really just looked out of place. I was expecting a brawl and what we got was some civilized exchange of fists.

You can turn that off anyway, I think. Just pretend like you don't have access to the casual mode.

Haha. I'd have thought a guy with a nick of Snake would have upgraded to a DS3 when MGS4 came out. I did.

Fuck. I knew I should have put in my order. Is there any way of notifying Amazon about offering release day delivery again?

Yeah the combat doesn't look that appealing from what I've seen, I'm hoping that most of the game is centered on the investigation element, and only occasionally throws in combat when it's necessary.

Oh well screw it, I guess I'll go with Best Buy then. $15 GC and $10 Reward coupon isn't too shabby. As for DLC I'll just be trading a shitty outfit for another.

Is the first 15 minutes video still up?

Its not working on my iPhone, says "YouTube not available" so I'm hoping I can see it when I get home into wifi range...

I was hoping for more reviews, but I pushed my luck I guess. w/e I never liked the no demo/no early review crap R* pulls.

And you'll get the chance for free DLC if you are one of the first 16 people to pick it up at a midnight launch.

"Plus, while supplies last, each store will be giving away free Coke products, a download code for an in-game "Nicholson Electroplating" case, and more."

Oh yeah almost forgot about that as well, not a bad trade off.
