Ahhh.... I used to get my games there back when they brought the games to your doorstep.
Have they started doing that again?

Ordered the Witcher 2: Dark Edition back in Feb 18th and paid it in full 2 months in advance.
Order gets cancelled 1 week before item ships. Best buy sends me an email apologizing the inconvenience and offering me the game for free with a free shirt and $25 online coupon if I call.
-Called yesterday, customer service rep says my order wasn't cancelled, pretty happy about that.
-Gets an email today saying my order was canceled. SMH.
-Calls customer service rep about free offer, only to be told that they don't know anything about said offer and will call me several days later to inform of status?
-Haven't received $108 refund either.
Impressive company! SMFH

WOW this OST is awesome
Somehow it reminds me of the Zelda games.
Example (Spoiler maybe?!)):

I feel bad for my console brethren who bought the Dark Editions at Best Buy. Total bullshit.
no, it's not a spoiler.

They can look a lot worse or better depending on your drivers / card. I barely notice them for 90% of the game. But the main culprit imo is them sticking to DX9 instead of allowing for DX11, which is a lot more capable.

Lol I know. I totally had no reason to buy it for the 360 since I already have the Collector's Edition for PC. I just wanted to support CDProjekt since they've been extremely gracious in replacing my CE Geralt bust and giving me a Witcher Medallion in the process.

Can someone explain? Just the fat-baby man/giggly glasses guy.
My guess is those are stereotypical respresentations of PC gamers (man baby) and Console gamers (ackward looking glasses kid). But I could be wrong.

Man I can't wait for these new updates. I bought W2 on day 1 but had never played witcher 1. So I went back and played through that and by the time I had beaten it, patch 2.0 was out for Witcher 2 soooo
This is one of my finer achievements in gaming. Looks like it's time for another play through!

As soon as this new patch drops, I'm gonna actually do my Dark run. I'm excited!

They never replaced mine. I'm more sad I missed out on the medallion, but I guess I will get a keychain and a medallion from a gamestop preorder.
The installation process is a bitch though. Didn't work day 1, then it worked, and now it hasn't worked as I have tried to install twice. I think I'll just wait for the 17th, see if the enhanced edition patch will just overwrite and solve my problems.

Yeah, I'm getting excited to play this like it was my first time.
Curious how the pre-load works. I got all the data - Will the installer basically just recognize that I have it all and it will just work or is there some other trickery that will happen? I'm under the impression that the launcher will DL the remainder of the patch and just look for it in the C:\Downloads folder that the large DL goes in.

I'm embargoed until 12:01 AM EST on the 13th, but that gives me plenty of time to sink into the game!
Installing da game to da hard drive. If people have specific questions or things they'd like me to look for just let me know so I can hopefully answer/give some impressions when I can.

Much appreciated, apologies I thought you received it due to an early shipped date.

How long does it take to install the game?
The usual slow-ass 360 install, and don't forget that it has two discs! I'm playing it now though.
I always say Andre. I know Im wrong but theres no way Im pronouncing Andrzej correctly.
Hmm, I guess it sounds quite like An-jay
I love my language <3. Polish, you co crazy.

Oh man that's unfortunate. Did you contact CDProjekt directly? Man, was I all over their forums when I received my Geralt bust without a nose and broken topknot.
IIRC I remember reading that US customers were having difficulties with ATARI regarding the replacement bust which is probably one of the reasons CDProjekt opted for WB as their new publisher.
As for as the game itself, the only problem that I had was the DLC downloading on a loop. One of the reasons they removed the DRM on the game.

I don't know. I'll see if third reinstall solves the problem, and then I'll wait for the enhanced edition, and if that doesn't work I'll go forum surfing for tech support.
My bust wasn't that bad. It had issues, but nothing broken. I think he was missing part of one ear, with a few other scuffs. I sent an e-mail as requested, never got anything back in response, neither e-mail or bust.
I kind of forgot about it, and at this point I don't think it is worth following up on. But as you mentioned, there seemed to be tons of issues with U.S. replacements, so I don't know if any ever even arrived outside Europe. I imagine they must have, or there probably would have been some upset.
edit: Third re-install was the magic number!

Wow. That's terrible man.
Bullshit like that is why I stuck with the regular edition on Amazon. So wary of places of like Best Buy and Gamestop these days (especially when ordering online).
The 360 version has the older DLC they implemented on PC, right? Like the improved tutorial?

And I look forward to day when gamers stop bitching about guides being black and white and start appreciating that they even have one.

Wasn't so much "bitching" as I was making an observation prefaced by a sigh.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Really hope my Dark edition is safe, pre-ordered it at Gamestop like a week after the announcement. Hope you guys that ordered at BB can easily find a reasonably priced Dark edition.

And I look forward to the day you stop being so god damn hostile. Every post I've read of yours in the last 48 hours has been a complete snarkfest.
Lighten up a bit, please.
Yeah, I guess it was a little too out there but they represent PC and 360. Here are the original images:
