BTW: Some of you haven’t noticed this, but I’m not planing on getting this game through tigerdirect, I’m 99% positive that I wont. But as a gamer I felt like I had to try because it just might be the biggest game of the holiday season, so if I could get it early I had to give it a shot. - Steve519
UPDATE: THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE as per tigerdirect.com, but i do have this…
