Now this is torture !!!!
Why can't Sweden do the same :)

One question guys... I have original "Nintendo Wii - Classic Controller" and opted not to get the Pro version (money is tight). How different are they compared to original? I know they are supposed to be better but is there such a noticeable improvement?

I hope Nintendo notices some stores selling it, then sends a letter to all stores giving them the green light to sell it right now! :D

Oh boy, now I'm tempted to hunt this game down, even though my local stores never sell games more than one day before the streetdate.

You can just look at the screen posted above. The CC Pro is literally the same with but with grips on it but with 2 extra buttons on the back (which shouldn't be a problem. I think the little buttons on the top of the normal CC are the same things but not sure.).

You get it fairly early, it wouldn't take long even with doing some quests to get as far as in the picture.

So it seems that names really were changed.

Fiorun = Fiora
Karna = Sharla

I don't consider
going through the intro movie, playing the Dunban bit, then the Shulk and Reyn bit, and then the Fiorun bit
to be fast. At least I remember it taking awhile when I played it.

I wonder if they change the text to accommodate that if you're using JP voiceovers.

I'd be so impressed if this was true. Last game that I played that changed names while also having the Japanese voices, the Mana Khemia games kind of pissed me off in that the names in text didn't change, lol.

A couple of hours max? Given the length of the rest of the game, I'd say that's pretty fast. It's not like it's mid-game or something.

Aww, why are you doing this to me? I still have Catherine to finish and my thesis to write. I can't handle another distraction. :(

I haven't reserved the game (no particularly interested in the special edition), so I'll start the search by wednesday. If someone sees it before in spanish stores, let me know!

I'm in the U.S. importing from Zavvi.com and just got an email alert from my credit card letting me know their charge of $48.60 just went through. Maybe they'll ship it early! =3

Wow. Already selling it? Hey Zavvi, break the street date and ship me it! :) I guess websites never break street dates. Blah.

Oh that's good. Means there's a small chance I could get the game before the weeks out. The last game I bought from ozgameshop only took 4 days to get here from the UK but until I see that feat repeated I'm going to assume that was a one off on not the typical shipping times.

Oh yea, I guessed. I was just saying Zavvi (and most websites) ship stuff out early. Obviously you won't get it on Friday (or if we're lucky Thursday) like us in the UK, but you wont have to wait quite as long.

I hope you're right. I don't think I can wait a month. Though on Zavvi's page it says this, which makes what you said not seem right:

Please remember to add postal time (3-5 working days) to obtain a complete estimate of delivery to your door.

For deliveries outside the UK remember to add postage time (15 working days) to obtain a complete estimate of when you can expect your item to be delivered.

So if you're in the US and you order from them, you have to wait an additional two weeks after the 3-5 processing. Though I used a credit card, it shouldn't take 5 days to process that.

Also got my email from Zavvi. Hopefully that means they are preparing the shipment. I'm still expecting a couple of weeks of waiting which will be painful. Luckily I have plenty of other games to distract me!

I assume that's all worse case scenario liability protection, basically I bet they're covering their asses in the event it takes that long so they give out the worst case scenario as opposed to the best case or normal scenario in the event people's orders take longer.

I've never ordered from Zavvi before but once something has shipped from overseas I have never waited 2 full weeks for it to arrive.
