94% from PC Gamer Magazine. I expect the 360 version to be right on par with the PC version as Bioshock was.

I think overall with the amount of reviews that come in it will probably average around a %91. Maybe truly average a %93-94 from the review sites you've heard of and/or actually care about. It will probably score a little better than PC in the long run because of reasons I can't mention here w/o it derailing the topic.

Sweet, let's hope it's comparable to the PC version. I don't get it, is there like a review black out for this game? There's usually at least a couple reviews out by now for a game the day of release.

26 you mean.And the 360 is nearly twice the equivalent american price.

If you preordered it on the PC, you got the TF2 beta. It's unlike any beta I've ever played. It's actually already polished, balanced, and insanely fun.

When you pre-order the OB on Steam(PC), you get access to the TF2 Beta.

It's a bad time to move to a new place, I guess. I won't have internet for roughly 2 weeks... gaaah.
I've been waiting for YEARS for this game to come out... guess a couple of weeks more can't hurt...

..

right?

I'm going to get it at Best Buy. Circuit City is selling it for $38 and BB will match the price and 10% of the difference, so I get an even better deal!

Still few weeks to go 'till I get it. But I don't mind, gives me some time to finish Gothic3 and maybe even NWN2. And wow, 94% for PC version, :o console games nearly always score higher so it will be interesting to see how it ends up scoring, 10 maybe?

Haha. With updates and everything mine on my pc is close to 10gb I think. There is lots of compression going on there. And with hl2, e1, e2, tf2, and portal, there is a LOT of content. So it's not relatively small, just they've found ways to fit it on one.
