i got it!

i played last night til about 11:00PM.

the special features that came with the CE is pretty lengthy and worth the extra $10, plus the metal case is AWESOME

The great thing that came out of the delay is that since i preordered and had to wait a day, i got $10 OFF the price

so $70(collectors edition) - $14.40( i traded in Far Cry Instincs as my preorder) - $10 (for being late) = $48 and change!

thats cheaper than a current gen game!

and plus, my mom gave me $33 extra (for helping around the house and never getting allowance) so now i have $89 left!

i have to put aside $45 for Zelda:TP(cant wait!) and ill probly buy the $15 strategy guide with it! so i have like $29 to buy an awesome DS game

plus my mom is gonna give me 25 cents per soap bar i wrap! this will be the best holiday season yet!

actually, i might buy the Gears of War 360 faceplate i saw for $20 at gamestop

hmmmm

cant wait for my freind mkaddict1 to come over and we can do some co-op!
