Thanks on Dizzy info, Karma

That LE guide does look snazzy! Decided to get one GOW 3 Controller instead of the actual system. $60 sounded better than $400....and must say, controller does look nice. Red color chosen looks sharp, and not an eye sore

ditto, you get infected omen weapon codes with controller as well

i never buy game guides...takes the fun and longevity out of a game

That it does. I'll be getting it. I've got the LE of the other two so thats one of the reasons and after I've played through it twice its nice to have to find anything I've missed. For me it doesn't take anything out of the game at all. My Epic edition is paid off and my game system is all but paid off ($50 left) so I'm rocking both those. The question is what to do with the extra stuff ebay or maybe here.

 

[Matt S]

I would say here first, but ebay should be a pretty good bet, especially if you get rid of it right away or the like

Played couple rounds with the GOW controller - so have two of the new controllers with the updated D pad action....put the old black controller in the closet....

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I just want a controller and i'll be good.

Yeah, I'll see whats going on here if there is anyone asking. Then it will be off to ebay because I think I can maybe get a bit more there.

ordered

Same. Like I said I have the other two and having it around will be nice once I've done my first two playthroughs. After it helps me complete what I want it to help me with it will sit with the others. I'll have many many trips through the story mode without it.

 

[Matt S]

depending on what you have, I may interested. I still need the walmart preorder skin....

 

[The Josh]

Nothing from Wal-Mart. All my stuff is coming from Game Stop.

 

[Matt S]

Ah, I do most of my preorders there; just convenient

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, same here. Kind of nice to do that and forget about it.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

the only one I don't have is mechanic baird

 

[The Josh]

I'd like to have them all at launch but I don't feel like going to each store and buying them. I'll either earn them or download them as DLC.

Same here. I did my work unlocking what I could. I'm not buying it at multiple places.

Right plus its gonna be DLC most likely or something you can unlock. I'll get it then. Plus, I have a second copy of the game coming with the system that I have to get rid of so I don't need more to get rid of.
