Instead of playing 1-2 hours Thursday and getting super into it and then not getting to play it again until next week. I'm assuming he's wondering if he should just wait until next week altogether instead of going through withdrawals over the weekend.

Has anyone heard how hard this game is ? I mean with it being compared to Castlevania and Metroid. I wouldn't want to blow 1200 space bucks on something I couldn't complete.

On one of the reviews, they said the bosses are not that hard compared to Castlevania and Metroid. So it sounds like the game wont be difficult to complete.

Their big complaint is that it's too reminiscent of some of the greatest 2-D games ever created? For 1200 points, I can live with putting that on my 360's hard drive.

That's like saying Beatles Rock Band has too many old songs on it.

There's actually a ton of people that seem to be giving away copies of the game today.

Nope I got one of them which had been used already. I just looked at the followers remarks, and they will tell you if they were used. I guess they could be lying to make it easier for themselves. Anyway Xbox Marketplace kept going down for me.

Wait all of you are following MajorNelson on Twitter?

I know at least 5 or 6 people that I follow on Twitter that were doing codes. With it being a trending topic I'm sure that was the motivation. I don't really remember them doing early codes for games like this before, so it's actually a pretty brilliant marketing strategy it would seem.

It's a helluva lot better than Major doing them on Friday after they release.
