Ace Combat 6

So who else is on the verge of hyperventilation because it's finally coming out tomorrow? I'll probably be up for a few online games later in the evening (can't wait to see how co-op plays).

I am. But I pre-ordered the flight stick bundle thru Amazon and it's not set to ship until the 29th for some reason. I guess I'll have to keep playing Halo 3 in the meantime.

[Poofta!]

me me me.... with flight stick and all... ooooo cant wait!

any ideas on how hard to find the flight stick combo will be?
it seems that recently "limited edition" is limited to everyone who preorders it as well as several thousand extra...

I've heard they're making only 10,000, but I can't say for sure if that accounts for the US only. You might be able to get one without a preorder if you act fast, but don't count on them sitting around on shelves for months. (When's the last time you saw the AC5 stick in a shop?)

I got the call from Gamestop saying it'll be in tomorrow. I also talked to a guy at the store where I reserved it, and he said the first 8 that pick up will get an extra "limited edition" faceplate, in addition to the one in the bundle. Stores may vary in this regard, though.

Ugh, I hadn't even known it was coming out tomorrow until yesterday. I hadn't planned anything around getting it, so unfortunately it'll be a couple weeks.

I swear, so many games have come out recently that I need to get. I've actually set up a timetable for it.

Okay, I've put in a few hours so far. The game is completely sweet, but the cut scenes are even cornier than before, if you can believe it. The stick is great, except for the rudder lever on the throttle, which is really, really uncomfortable to use if you've got small hands.

Also, I had a go at a 16 player team battle online. It's friggin' crazy.
