Just wanted to let you know that if you ordered a Steel Battalion you can expect it very soon. Mine came in today and it is so cool. The box, controller, game and everything are cool.

It seems pretty sturdy for what it is, but I think you are right about the rental. It would be too easy for a careless person to break. It's also very heavy. It's about 20 pounds.

this game kicks some serious ass....at first it's really hard, but once you read the operating manual and know what all the buttons do...oh bliss......I've gotten through the 3rd or 4th mission....it's beyond cool.

Let me know when you want to come by Zemmix. It's at the office until Christmas break. You can swing by after work.

My copy is waiting for me at the Funco. Daaamn it's big, and the box is cool as hell. I don't want to, but I just have to break the Capcom tape.

So I broke down and purchased mine today. I won't get it until later this week, but I paid for the whole thing today. I can't wait to see this bad boy in action.

This game is...nuts. I love it! I only got to play for about an hour before I had to go to work, and the next time I'll be able to play is this weekend. So in the mean time, I'm just gonna read the manual and learn how to control the mech better. I've never felt so powerful typing my name into the game, as I have with this: using both sticks to go through the letters and enter them in!
I also snagged the marketing plan from work. Portnoyd, do you know what I'm talking about? Do you know if those were from Microsoft or Gamestop? The employee appreciation weekend was sure a sweet time for this to come out. :D

Don't forget the picture!
I didn't get a picture of me playing yet, but there will be an "Intimate look at Vidgame HQ" tomorrow night that shows the unpacking process and the controller. Will get the pic this weekend though. ^_^
