      It's cool because the "The Evil Within" box comes w/ a cover slip that uses a holographic image that moves when you turn the box.

      Also, the slip case for BL: The Pre-Sequel has the same raised type-face that BL2's box did.

      The regular box doesn't though.

        Dude, are you wearing socks with flip flops?



        I'm taking one of the copies of SD back. I wasn't sure which one I wanted and didn't want to miss on the art book. I think I'm keeping the PS4 version and I'm either just straight up returning the XBOne version or I might swap it for Evil Within.

          Anyways, exchanged Alien Isolation for The Evil Within today. Got my Silent Hill games off ebay last week for pretty cheap and they just arrived today.

            The one on the left is decent but dated but I really enjoyed Downpour.

              I'm tempted to buy Driveclub digitally, but have been really busy with NBA2k15 since I got it (I'm an offline NBA2ker, obviously).

                I really enjoyed Homecoming as a game. As a story, I thought it was blah.

                  Don't. At least not yet. They are still trying to fix LOADS of issues with the game, mostly server related.

                  I think I'm going to say fuck it and hop on the EW train today. I'll return SD XBOne and get it. Now, which version should I get? Any word on if there are any differences in them? If not I will probably just go with the XBOne version for shits and giggles.

                    I swapped out the XBone SD for Evil Within which came with an unexpected $10 gift card. Madden was only $10 so I figured I'd get it since I downloaded the 360 version if NCAA a few weeks back. Plus, I decided to pick up the Fallout games from Gamestop. 3 was $10 new and NV was supposed to be $15 new but they didn't have any. They did have a "used" copy for $12 that looks brand new and like they just unwrapped it and labeled it used.

                      I thought you hated Fallout 3, Twigg? Or was that just Skyrim?

                        Probably Skyrim. Although I don't think I ever said I hated it, just that I wasn't that impressed when I played it. Same with Oblivion, I really didn't like that. But I watched some YT videos and Fallout seems like it could be cool.

                        I did buy the Skyrim GotY Edition a while back too. I think it was also like $15 and I couldn't pass it up.

                              Part of it. It'll be the very first one you get if you miss it you won't be able to go back and get it.

                                Ordered these over the past few weeks. Really wanted a physical copy of First Light (EU only), so I imported one from England. Watch_Dogs Collector's Edition was on sale on Amazon last weekend for like $38, so I couldn't pass that up.
