well yeah, I cant see people being okay about BB holding their money until next year.

I actually didnt even place an order for this reason.

It'll be an issue for me - how else can I get the reviews up for you guys :(

Just got this from Best buy...

Ditto .

Same, and it couldn't have come at a better time, Guitar Hero 2 here I come, $10 off :P.

Figured they'd get cancelled, but nice of them to give a $10 digital coupon. Figured took me about a minute of my time to place the order...worth $10 to me!

Got the same.

Get $10 off FFIII DS though! :D

I bet all the ebay shits are happy as hell right now.

Figured this would happen. Good deal on the free $10.

$10 Coupon

I'm happy.

I'll use it to buy an HD-DVD for my Xbox 360 HD Drive :D

I was thinking the same exact thing. Sorry Sony!!

:lol: how ironic, Sony indirectly helping me buy a 360 product.

Cool $10 free bucks for a DS game. Thanks Sony.

It's so funny to read all the hot deals forums. People are talking about lawsuits and finding ways to force BB to honor their order. People just need to get over themselves. I'm happy to get my $10 coupon.

/slightly OT, but PS3 preorder related/

found this at Circuit City.com for those who are in the (very few) areas listed:

Those hot deal forums (fw, sd) remind me of the World of Warcraft forums at times...one large collection of children.
