They're still more expensive than Amazon UK. I saved a ton going there.

It would be more cruel to let you play it. The game is broken on multiple platforms.
Have you played a DR game before? The bosses have always been pretty janky like that, where you'll see one side talk about how difficult they are and another talk about how they're too much of a breeze(Gametrailers review). It's typically down to preparation and what you have at the time, in DR2 they had these very easy to make and incredibly powerful knife boxing gloves I would stock up on that did a lot of damage to bosses and made them easy.
DR1 had the infamous clown boss that dropped minichainsaws that would let you stock up on durability magazines that make the game a breeze. I would not be surprised to see DR3 having other things like that.

£69 for DR3 day one? What the fuck...
Eee, no? I paid £43 for Battlefield 4 and £46.11 for Ryse/Dead Rising 3 on Amazon UK. For you it would be even cheaper (23% VAT over here...).
It is PREMIUM Edition
DR3 Day One + Season Pass.To pass the time I've rearranged my entertainment unit. I took everything out, wiped it all down, put some reasonable cable management in place, and moved the current gen consoles to the bottom shelf.
I've made two holes for my 'bone and my ps4. Unfortunately with the size of the bone, I might have to move the centre speaker a couple of CM off of centre, which I'm sure will bug me for a bit.
I have no room for my controllers now - so I'm gonna have to come up with something for them.
I might move out the 360 when I get a WiiU. I'd get rid of the PS3, but it's my Rocksmith machine at the moment. I wish 2014 would have come to next gen.
Looks like the giant syringe full of secret sauce.

Auckland's SkyTower in green for the launch. 1.5 hours to go.

And crashing back down to Earth I come... heh. Hopefully it gets fixed soon it's the only game I'll have for a little while.
Ryse is 59, weird.
edit: dummy me ... dollars
Zoo Tycoon is 69, Ryse/DR3/FM5 are 65... I don't get it. Make it 55/59...

I meant from a digital standpoint compared to high street more than online retail. But yeah

was wondering why the fuck it wasn't letting me get the games I had to switch my region though ..then i started buying digital games aka zoo tycon/crimson dragon/KI like mad lol
Afaik everything is region free. IGN gave away games yesterday in their stream and they said, those codes are region free so I expect the bundle codes to be the same.

So... Midnight launch. It's dark. I wear a hoodie. It's fucking summer. I'm dying!
An hour to go!
EDIT: Just shows the last time I did anything after 10. There's a reason online is successful.

Haha, me too! I think there may be an oversaturated market of Fifa soon.
I wonder where these star reviews come from

That all digital future...
Live 14 same as 2K14? Burn this charade down!
That's true, lol. But I saw on the IGN stream yesterday that one of the viewers tweeted in "NBA Live looks pehnomenal" - could have been sarcasm though
But games are generally rated high in the store anyway, it's like that on the 360 as well.

Amazon website says my games are pre-ordered and the Xbox is preparing for dispatch. The app says they are all dispatching soon. I can't take these mixed messages!
69 ....
Just switch your account to the UK and buy games there from now on. 53 for most games, digital only games for 19 . Might actually go digital only after seeing that.
Good to hear, wanna really like the game
I suspect that will get locked down. There's all kinds of retailer and licensing agreements that prohibit that kind of thing. (£££$$$ profit!)

In line. 30 minutes to go.
What if they just changed it so you can buy stuff but can't download it unless you have a UK IP? But it is most likely they haven't enabled IP checks yet for the store. In any case I hope you can download it or at least get your money back.
Nope that is how their stores work now (not using the XLA locale anymore). You just need a valid billing address (not on the store though) and I even paid the price in £ with the I had as credit in my account.

How do you select a different store ? Do you have to edit your XBLA account properties, with a valid billing address in the selected country ?

I'm dead. Yes. :3< this is you right now, yeah?
Just edit the last letters in the store link to the store you want.
https://store.xbox.com/de-DE - Germany
https://store.xbox.com/en-GB - UK
https://store.xbox.com/en-US - USA
etc.
Which ones? Everything I looked at was the same price as GAME
