Well it is official, I made a trip to GameStop (who by the way I use to work for) and pre-ordered my copy of Final Fantasy XII.  I paid all of it and just have to go and pick it up on October 31, the day it comes out.  No hunting and wondering if anyone is going to have a copy left by the time I get there.  Another nice thing is that i got am getting the Collectors edition that is exclusive to GameStop.
