    What are the moral implications of running down to a local shop to buy the game, then popping back in next week with my receipt and a sealed copy from my Amazon preorder to pick up Rockband 3...?

    Gamestop: €44.99

    Could anyone recommend which version to get, or link to a good article covering this question?

    Depends on which pokémon you prefer really as they're both essentially the same game. List of exclusive pokémon found here. Also Black features more rotation battles where as White has more triple battles.

    Also, my Mam just rang to say she got my copy of Black :D And a free case with it, woo!

    Nothing arrived in the post, going to GAME after school, no harm in having Black and White :o
    Hmm Banjo, DO IT! No harm done in all fairness. Still sealed, they'll sell it on and get top price.
    AHHH I needa finish school NOW!

    I did some looking and found this excellent comparison:

    Not sure how to make it a small, one worded, clickable link, so that long link will have to do!

    Cheers for that buddy. Defo Smyths.

    AFAIK Argos are supposed to be cheaper but I don't think they have it yet.

    Well, in town earlier:

    GAME: We never checked really.
    Gamestop: €45. Avoid like the plague. I didn't because I had a €25 voucher from two years ago I hadn't yet used.
    HMV: €35. Go to Henry St, and get a free DS case and a Pokéball figurine!

    I'm going to admit, all this talk of buying this game after school is making me feel like I'm far too old for this thread :(

    And I'm only 22!!!

    @ "which version should I get"
    Read this thread, see what everyone else is getting and get the other one. Law of averages says you'll have more options to trade for the exclusive Mon you don't get!
    I'd get Black if I were you. Every generation has it's "Gay" and "Not Gay" edition. More people buy the "Not Gay" edition. As such, it pays to have the "Gay" version when using the GTS.

    This gen they've shaken it up. Black is the more manly colour but has the less steak-eating Legend with it's namby pamby nature-oriented theme. White has the technobeast that everyone wants and lots of depressing industrial landscaping. More people are going to buy white.

    @ "I feel too old"
    22? You're a child. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. The first time the Thriller video was on the telly, Nirvana while the band still had a 1:1 ratio of heads to bodies, Podge and Rodge when they were funny, Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. *looks wistfully into the distance* All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain...
    (See? Even my cultural references are older than you!)

    @Buzz
    Nice!

    I thought rotom put up less of a fight. And you didn't have to rush out to buy the game to get him, he's there for the latecomers to.

    My local Tesco (celbridge) have both versions, plenty of copies, out on the shelves at 39.99
    Also, saw a single Umbreon deck for whoever mentioned it on the other thread if they're in the area :)

    Don't feel too bad. It was Bidoof and Bibarel.

    Got a stupid nature on my Oshawott and Victini. Still, as endgame teams go, it won't make a difference.
