Finally picked up my copy at the local Blockbuster near me in South Tampa.
About 10-15 people showed up to this "small town" video store (considering how fucking big Tampa actually is and how it's split into sections, I lucked into being at the one smilar in size to my old city of F.W.B., FL) to either pick up their preorders or to just rent the damn thing.
One of the store employers himself got the Prestige Edition just to play the game with the night vision goggles on and he even swiped the Atomic Clock that signaled when the store was going to release the game to the rest of us. :laugh:
And as if I weren't greedy enough in just getting the Regular Edition home with me, I asked if they were able to upgrade me to the Hardened Edition... that was a negative.
Ah well. I got that ish now though. :thumbsup:
