You know, it really should be a joke that they matter as much in the gaming world as they do but, well, it's not, so, um, thank your grandparents, I guess...
I don't know about that EA over Best Buy thing, or Wal-mart over gamestop. Actually, those brackets are just wrong. Shouldn't the final be between Wal-mart and Gamestop? Somebody screwed up that seeding.
So are they no longer available for purchase or download? If it's just purchase, no biggie. If you can't download it if you already bought it, well, that's a major ****ing problem.
@StrangeDNA This generation (the last few years of it, at least) has not been a move forward. It has, very much so, been a lateral move. They have turned consoles into "media centers" so much so that they have forgotten that the primary purpose is to play games. EVERY single dashboard update over the last six and a half years on the 360 has made things worse, not better. The PS3 has added most of the same stuff over the same time and yet, when you turn it on, you are still looking at the same thing you were on day 1, which is the GAME column. On the 360 now, you have to pick through and search to actually find anything to do with gaming anymore. The more MS has screwed up, the more I've respected Nintendo's stance.
Actually, I counted down the days, and I'm sure I was far from alone. And, yeah, it's actually a much better game. Hell, despite the fact that I'm not too happy with it (it existing, not the content), I even bought the day 1 DLC.
To all the idiots saying "Irregardless" is not a word: if you use a term, and anyone else knows what it means, it is, by definition, a "word". It might not be a formally added one, but if "bromance" is the the webster dictionary (and as of 2011, it is), then by god, irregardless is a damn word. For the record, irregardless IS in the Marriam-Webster dictionary (look it up), so, um, I really have no ****ing clue what you are complaining about. It is non-standard. That's as knocked down as it gets.
