Assassin's Creed 2

[Cheapskate]

Penny Arcade have claimed to play through it, but haven't really revealed a lot.

Gamespot has the first 40 minutes of gameplay (probably a lot of spoilers on this one).

NeoGAFfers already have the game and are providing comments. Probably spoilers in there, most I've seen have been marked:

You can get the std edition for $67.99 at fishponds.com.au with free shipping. Use the code "2FRIEND" as you check out. Don't know on the expire date on it though.

EDIT: Looks like they either had a short sale for the game or they F'ed up on the numbers. Its now $89 (was $77.99 + -$10 discount code) Sweet, got's the game cheap! I did post it on the front page when it was $67.99 but I guess no one noticed....

Black Edition for the PS3 is costing me $90, thanks to $30 + $60 (3 x $20 trade baits), which isnt too bad... Just gotta hope the game is worth it...

I ordered Uncharted 2 from Fishpond, based on the price being listed here,
Two weeks after the release date when the game had not shown up, i emailed them about it
They replied that they would send a 2nd copy right away, which i thought was good, although a little worrying
that copy took a further week to arrive! (plus it was not a sealed game and had some strange stickers over the MA 15+ Aussie rating !? )

I've ordered books from Fishpond before, with similar extended shipping times, funny as i live very close to their Alexandria depot,
anyways i wont be ordering games from them again based on that experience, although like to hear how you guys fare with AC2?

I'm so keen for this game that i'll be going to a store for a change, to make sure i get it day one.
Anyone know of a site that reports broken street dates?

Anyone found some good quality images of the Figure?  More interested in the white one, the long robes just look cooler   But any pics would be good.  If its a high quality item I may actually shell out. If not, I'll simply import like I always do.  It's less than $60 from both DVD.co.uk and 365games.co.uk.

street date broken yet??

EB Games just sent out an email regarding midnight launches.

'Official Launches' are at Indooroopilly, Liverpool + Knox. 250 others are open at midnight though.

What's the difference between official/unofficial midnight launches?

[Sektor]

There are usually prizes, bonuses and longer queues at the official launches.  The normal stores just have the game.

Anyone know what price GAME are selling the Standard and the White Edition for today?  They usually lower their prices to be more inline with everyone else for the first week or so don't they?
