Have you had issues with release day delivery from Amazon? I've never had an issue with it before.

Can I still preorder from Amazon for the discount?

I've never done a pre-order with amazon before but i guess i just assumed that it wouldn't get here on the 17th. Normally i'm against pre-orders as a rule but i figured the $30 off was worth it. Honestly i keep expecting the order to get cancelled when they realize that price was an error. My buddy was on amazon.ca one day and noticed a bunch of pre-order games were deeply discounted. That was months ago and the order is still sitting in my account. I still think it was a glitch and not an actual discount so we'll see what happens.

If you have prime you can pre-order for 20% off until two days after release I believe.

That seems to be happening more and more (happened with the two NBA games this season too). I've started to buy new games from Best Buy instead of Amazon since Amazon starting charging sales tax. Both save 20% off new games, but the Gamers Club Unlocked card pays for itself after three pre-orders with a $10 gift card kickback.

Yes, last weekend. There's at least 3 more levels after that.


I encountered the first moon I couldn't get last night. Every other moon I've seen, I eventually got.

We could get an RM posse going. I can be moderately average in FPSs.

Is the new SW Battlefront only a FPS or can you do 3rd person too?

You could do 3P in the last one, so I assume yes.

I'll have to wait and see some 3rd person game play. FPS make me sick to my stomach. Literally not figuratively.

It's really the only way I played the first one. Moreso than any other shooter I've played, this one is pretty insane; there are a lot of 8-year olds playing, you know? And because literally all the gun sound are virtually identical, first person just made it so difficult to have any sense of what was going on in my periphery. But third person was awesome in first installment, I wouldn't expect you to have any problems with it.
