Yeah I got that too but the tracking number doesn't show anything. Praying it breaks street date some how!

Mine updated since I last checked that the label had been created.

When you check the tracking service provided in the email it says Feb 15th but When I check the UPS site directly it doesn't give a date

Also that works be terrible to get it 2 weeks early I'm 75 hours into Infinite Wealth with all a lot to go and I'd like to platinum it before Rebirth

Mine says February 16th

Maybe it's just the statue? And a digital code?!

I want a disc but...I also would like to be able to play at midnight

welp there's a big topic on the game board that is titled GAME HAS LEAKED so I'm going off the grid

So data miners are gonna have a field day huh :/

Uh oh

I'm assuming they did this by keeping crucial data off the discs so you can't boot it in offline mode? But that's fucked for anyone who doesn't have Internet access. Not sure how many of those there are in 2024 but still

I mean Elden Ring is ridiculously different in its zero patch form as well.

Shine yours was scheduled to show today, did it actually? Mine still says the 16th but theres no info on the website besides label made

It changed last night from the 15th to "Info received" and now just kinda in a holding pattern until UPS actually receives the package

Rip guess they arent gonna get here early after all :( hopefully they still get here before the 29th cuz Im gonna wanna play at midnight

I work the night of the 29th but I have a 4 day weekend after that

I still have a question about the trailer

who are the blue people? new?

You have to play Uncharted 2 for the full lore.

The Turks?

no not them. the blue guy wearing a mask asking them to get the black materia

There are spoiler topics on other boards already.

Gonna retreat until I have my hands on THE SAUCE

Are there spoilers already? Man there's no way I'm gonna avoid this shit for 8 more days

It still hasn't shipped I might just buy the digital version at midnight and sell the disk on eBay or something I don't feel like waiting all day to play

I am trying to spoil myself but I haven't seen anything reputable yet

Looks like reviews are up

The way the reviews talk about the ending really matches up with what the leaks said it was.

Y'all better keep that talk out of here I don't want to know

Yeah please don't talk about anything even remotely spoilery

I have seen the swimsuit clip promo they put out today.

Well. Alright then.

That must be the part of rebirth where they visit the Italian senate

Yeah, I know.

Cloud without baggy clothes looks uncanny for some reason.

I thought that was a mod or something holy crap

Tifa is so fucking stacked in that clip that I also assumed it was a mod for a few hours until it kept hitting my timeline.

Usually I'm not a fan of stuff like that in games, but Jesus Christ.

Welp, turns out I won't be playing this. My PS5 said fuck you.

I've had an issue with it for years, not long after I got it, where if I spend any amount of time on the home screen without a game running, it just starts soft-reseting over and over again. I've gotten around the issue for so long by just starting up a game as soon as I turn it on, but it's steadily gotten worse this past year. Then I ran into a new issue where my Fortnite data corrupted with each update to the game, and I'd have to delete and reinstall the whole game every patch. In an attempt to fix both things, I factory reset my PS5 last night and now I can't make it through initial set-up before it starts resetting. So it's just a useless brick now, awesome.

I tried to google this and somehow ended up at KotakuInAction and now I wish to blow my brains out.

Cloud absolutely the kind of person to wear a t-shirt in the pool

Cloud and I have something in common then

I didn't know what this was an now I do. No forgiveness.

Most of the drama I've seen around it is people complaining about the reaction this is getting compared to when Pyra from Xenoblade 2 was revealed. "A double standard".

My answer to that is that Pyra was a gaudy hideous nightmare in a game already chock full of gaudy hideous nightmares.

just warning you this borders on LMS levels of caring too much about the discourse

That's just mean.

??

I didn't say I cared lol

Just thought it was funny

We need another contest so swimsuit Tifa can bring back TJF

Tifa was going to wreck defeat/scare Noble Niners if she wasn't fed to the one it doesn't work on... twice.

To be fair, Pyra was the first gaudy hideous nightmare revealed in that game of gaudy hideous nightmares (well, maybe second after Rex, but still).

Chun-Li Tifa would probably do major damage too

Guess that reduction copy/pasta is obsolete now.

Never forget that back when Zero Suit Samus was new, Tifa almost straight-up beat Samus in a TJF pic match.

The largest gathering of the "Aloy has a beard" society I've ever seen.

Yeah. Back then being a girl wasn't as much of a bonus in itself as it is now, even if TJF always existed.
