We're imagining a scenario in which a Best Buy shopper asks a friendly sales clerk which gaming system would be the most appropriate for his kids ... and which one would be capable of "doing vengeance" on his in-laws.

It wasn't on the list, but it only does everything, so I'm sure the PS3 can be your pimp.

Kratos, looks like you and I will be having some personal time getting our vengence on the gods together.
Zeus has never looked so pitiful until now, I feel sorry for him, when I break into olympus, all hell will break loose :D

Man.
It amazes me how quickly Sony went from having some of the worst marketing, to some of the best. What a turnaround.

Yeah, and for some strange reason they started selling a bunch of more consoles. Well, whatever could have caused that?

I also see brutality, chaos, jaw dropping, and bloodthirsty. Those last 2 don't even make sense. It only does bloodthirsty?
Shit I can't wait to play this game. FFXIII is going on hiatus.

They delayed your release day delivery? Did you actually choose "Release-Date Delivery"? That hasn't failed me yet and I got the shipping notice with tracking number in my email yesterday.
I just checked it's listed as "Out for delivery". It should be there by the time I get home from work. Win!

Amazon switched to a new company for fulfillment in California a few months back and they really suck. They've screwed up a lot of release-day delivers. A friend of mine got two copies of a game (Uncharted 2?) because Amazon overnighted him another copy when his first copy was not delivered on time. When it finally showed up (after the first one) Amazon just said to keep it.

Not to rub it in or anything, but I ordered the Ultimate Edition from Amazon and got it on release day. It must be a case by case basis.

anybody preorder on Amazon and receive it yet?

I'm not a Prime member and I selected "Release-Date Delivery". Amazon does that option for some games. I pre-ordered a few months back and that option wasn't there. Then I checked about a month ago and it was there so I changed my shipping option to "Release-Date Delivery".

Bayonetta superior to God of War? You serious?

Nah they just exchanging the old fanboy multiplatform arguement.

Silly fanboyism. Why bash Dante's? It's on PS3 too and it's a fun game.

NO! NO MORE FANBOY WARS! You're all turning into the cast of Mean Girls 2!

@Traceur
I THINK he was saying all the 360 dudes bought the superior version of Bayonetta (which you recall wasn't up to par on the PS3)
According to metacritic Bayonetta does come pretty close to GoWIII's awesomeness:
