When I get a new game, I wait to play it. Not because I'm not interested in it, but because it builds up the excitement until it's finally "go" time. Plus, I have a wife and a little girl, so instead of coming home and tearing into a game only to be asked to do something fifteen minutes in, I wait until the time is right. ... Oh, and I smell the instruction booklet. A lot. What of it?
I feel like this about a lot of marketing. How could this sway someone in the market for a new vehicle to buy a Jeep? "Man, that car there gets 40 miles to the gallon and is the #1 safety rated vehicle in America for the last 40 years... but the Jeep... the Jeep was tough enough to be in a video game!" Really?
Also, guys, ask your local GameSpot(s) first, but around here there is about 6 GameStops in a 10 mile radius. No one location had all of the games I was looking for, so once I found Demon's Souls I had him call the next closest store (a mile away) to see if they had SSF4. Turns out they had it, but not Demon's Souls. Any way, they communicated and allowed me to buy DS in one store, go to the next and pick up SSF4, which allowed me to utilize the buy two get one free deal. Good stuff!
