If you ordered from GS, why wouldn't you get the call/text?

They've been sending me texts lately. I actually prefer it.

^Same. I'd prefer not to hear that woman screaming at me about midnight releases and such.

My old roomate sent me an e-mail about the midnight release, nice! I'm thinking about 10 days till it reaches my hands though.

Yeah, I wasn't to thrilled when I got calls from "Aerith" from game stop. The name always changed, but the annoying voice was always the same. I really do prefer getting a text message when it comes to Gamestop.

Now if only I could get them to stop asking me if I want a Gamer's Edge card and a subscription to Game Informer. Even when I did go with that for a while they still asked.

They never asked me if I could receive texts instead.

They never asked me either, but I still get both a text and a call from them...

I had the text message feature disabled from my phone, so I can only get calls.
I don't get "Aerith," I get "Ashley."

I missed the call last night, due to a softball game (my team won the championship for the division.). I will be getting it today after work.

Just got it and it looks awesome the packaging that is. 67 songs that's a lot but awesome. Will provide pics later.

So I am listening to the soundtrack using iTunes and noticed that the soundtrack is pretty much Japanese and by that I mean the soundtrack names which are in Japanese kanji and whatnot.

I got the game and can't play it, it runs on the 5.55 OFW and I'm running the 5.50 CFW. Not fair, why do I bother buying PSP games anymore?!

Pardon the mess on my desk.

Yeah, seems like every new title I get has yet another new firmware "update"...

Given there's never a change log that I've seen, I half believe the updates are just to ***** over the folks who modded their PSP. Though it's not a problem for me, just a 2-3 minute hassle.


But yeah, nice that it arrived on the release date. In hand, in PSP, still in the opening.

2-3 minute hastle? Explain! I know of no way to get OFW running on a CFW PSP.

Game companies working together to stop piracy, NEWS AT 11!

Not saying you are a pirate, of course.

They do that because so many people aren't buying them.

Unless you have a 3000, you can easily just switch - switch back with Pandora. That's what I did.

I *hate* living in Virginia so much right now! The whole other side of the country. I have to get it tomorrow. Got the call today...:[

Called to see when they'd get it tomorrow, and said they just got it today.

Gonna go buy and play for a few hours.

I also got a text~ It's the first time they've text'd me instead of calling. I think I prefer it.

I got a call the day before at my house. I think I'll start putting my cell number down though for when I pre-order games.

I have a 1000 series PSP and I'd rather not use a pandora battery. So I'm just gonna borrow my friends PSP for the time being like I did with Class of heroes.

I got it hours ago but haven't played it yet since I'm still at work leaving at 12AM.

I never requested it either. It just started happening one day.

I ordered at GameCrazy but haven't gotten the call, oddly enough. I guess I'll call them in a bit.

So apparently, a bunxh of stores in Canada won't be getrting the game till today (the EB Games in my city supposedly isn't getting it until today, and people on other forums I visit that are from Canada say that their EB Games won't get it till Friday either).

What's with delayed Canadian releases? T_T
