I honestly don't remember, lol. I'll try both and see what happens. But then I have to get my PS2 controller to work with the game. It works with others though.
I have to re download dolphin and try it with the EU copy, no longer have the Japanese Import.

Found a Youtube video showing it running flawless
Hope my i5 750 @ 3.6ghz + 4890 is enough to run it like that.

If I can run it perfectly in Dolphin then I'll play it on there for sure. My poor CPU probably can't handle it though, and I'm not waiting until my Ivy Bridge upgrade next year to play this.

Zavvi didn't charge for conversion or anything either. Was only like $48. Haha, cheaper than buying it if it came out here in the states.

I just got another e-Mail claiming it was "despatched". Hm. Keeping an eye on it - I'm ready.

Too bad we don't get tracking numbers.
We have no clue where it is, or when to expect it! Watching the door like a hawk now.

Yeah really, I realize looking at it as "order history" that it's over for them. Time for me to just wait and be hopeful...

The sound is fine, until the FPS drops, and thats when the problem starts, that's the reason why that video is fine, it stays constantly at 30fps. Can't use LLE or whatever because I haven't bothered to rip what it needed from my console.
Doesn't matter eitherway, I can't play it that well anyway thanks to my CPU. 2.66GHZ quad core.

I meant, I didn't see one on the bank statement. Just the one charge. Unless they put another charge later, I have no idea.

Does any EU review site do video reviews?

So what do you guys think would be considered a good chart debut for Xenoblade? top 10? top 20?

In the UK? I think good would be a Top 10 debut considering the time of the year and everything.FreeMufasa said:
I don't think that's very likely, though.

Will this cheap controller work well with Xenoblade?

The game has been climbing up the Amazon UK chart each day since early last week, so it may well break the Wii Top 5.slaughterking said:In the UK? I think good would be a Top 10 debut considering the time of the year and everything.

It wont chart, Alice barely broke the top 40 so I doubt an unheard of RPG will do much.

It looks like the button layout is identical to the original Nintendo controller, but it's hardly much cheaper. I would play it safe and just buy the original.M_Night said:

Its a standard clone. Reading reviews of these on the Internet (I've had no first hand experiance) it seems, plastic parts are identical to official so looks same on outside. Inside is where its different. Circuit baord isn't put together as well and quality control is far worse. Generally they suffer from stiff buttons and a tendancy to suddenly stop working for no real reason. Also they tend not to work with homebrew for some reason.M_Night said:
I have the feeling that the UK sales will be the worst. At least if you don't take imports into consideration (and I don't think that the online stores are reporting their numbers?). It makes the impression that mainland Europe is more inclined to buy Japanese games.slaughterking said:
Well Game.co.uk just shipped mine (I'm in Canada). The tracking number is currently not working but I guess it should be updated tonight. Really glad they've shipped it before the release date. So it seems you guys living in Europe might be able to find an early copy in stores.

Good to know, I'm in Quebec and still waiting for game.co.uk to ship mine. Is yours the CE??
It's becoming clearer and clearer with all the reviews that this game shines in pretty much every department.
However, the story doesn't get a lot of talk... I'm a genre fan and enjoyed many of the current-gen JRPGs despite the hate they more-or-less deservedly get. However, for most of them, the story bored me to death...
How is the story for Xenoblade, really? I've heard comments such as "not as bloated as Xenosaga, but nice" but nothing really concrete...

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
If you're looking to save then don't buy any controller at all dude, it's not like having a d-pad instead of a second stick for the camera will ruin the gameplay. Monster Hunter is an action game designed around the PlayStation setup to begin with yet the remote + nunchuck setup works absolutely fine (actually, it works brilliantly, but that includes the gestures that Xenoblade probably doesn't have as it doesn't need them). It's not shoehorning fps functions on a d-pad or something to feel you really need a classic pad for it.M_Night said:
There are few Wii games (outside VC) I'd recommend a Classic Controller for and most if not all of them are conventional beat 'em ups. Xenoblade will work fine regardless.

Hoping that my GAME order will ship by the end of the day.. my order status still says "was picked and is being packed"..

They do actually.wrowa said:

And now that I think about it that could actually make a difference. Will be interesting to see.
I would think twice about that. You want to play a (potentially) +100 hours RPG with it after all. And we are not talking about a big investment here. Three more bucks for reliable equipment is not so bad.M_Night said:

I'm in the US and mine is at the same status as yours..
I'm not in a big hurry as this will be waiting until after I finish Deus Ex 3.. but it would be nice to have it this week or early next.

Kickass, my order from Zavvi has been dispatched! They're already doing a lot better than they did with my Shadow's Tale order, that one took them around 2 weeks after the release date before they even shipped it.

It's pretty awesome reviewers citing this is the best jRPG this gen. I can't wait for this. The last jRPG that I thought was awesome of the awesomest was Tales of Vesperia.
