    Well, my attempts at Blanch were a complete disaster. :pac:

    Arrived there a couple minutes past twelve expecting there to be no-one there or one person inside - found three people coming out with their copies as I was pulling in to park, and another 7 people queueing inside!

    Oh well, I'll pick it up in a few months.

    So you went all the way from Dunboyne to Blanch, and didn't bother queueing as there was 7 people in front of you? My trip was fruitful, popped down to Xtravision artane who's computer shat itself after the first couple of transactions, so we were left waiting outside, when I finally got into the shop 20 mins later they told me the 800 points free was only for pre orders, I didn't bother booking early, so I took my business next door to Tesco for a fiver cheaper... Sorted, the game is great, your missing out, will try give more detail tomorrow but I must sleep now, up early....

    Yea, I only went with the intention of paying half price, never full price. I have a pretty hefty credit card bill from a brand new monitor to pay off, I can't afford €50 :pac:

    I pre-ordered the Legendary Edition, and got the 800 MS points, Spartan Recon helmet effect was s'posed t'come with all pre-orders (i.e.: not an Xtra-vision exclusive), but got no UA Multi-Threat Armour. Anyone else find this?
