You know, I didn't even consider the fact that you might not just be preordering the actual game

as opposed to some special edition

you will never convince any web team to upscale their entire architecture just so people can put their orders in faster for an hour

for something thats going to sell the same anyways

lol

add like thousands of dollars in operating costs

to make a few innternet chuds happy

its just not reasonable

there's nothing to get mad about

go drink a coffee and come back

thats what i did

yeah the site going down isn't even just a nintendo thing

dude, my schools website we use for everything goes down every single term when grades release after exams

without fail

about 2% of people get in (I am good at timing it so I am included) then no one else gets to see their grades for like 8 hours

and you will never convince them to increase the budget to make that not happen

because thats expensive as hell

for literally no turn-around

yeah they don't care as long as there is no downtime for typical usage cases

and some slightly above average usage cases

If we kill half of the worlds xenoblade fans the problem will be fixed

isn't it like just a case an an artbook?

ye

and a big box

and get this

only the game comes in july

the rest of the stuff?

that comes in fall

lol

nice

I feel like all special editions suck these days

unless you really like artbooks I guess

but I bet you will be able to find those for free on the internet a few months after release

I mean, the only other things I can think of a special edition having are a figure and music cd

maybe some cool collector case for your game

music cd should be included as a minimum though

maybe I just don't care aboout special editions at all actually

no one has

cd drives

I do?

No one who is not a zoomer with only an ipad

probably has one

do not have cd drives for their PCs anymore

What losers spend more money on special editions

I do

most PCs do not

I made sure my pc had one

come with CD drives

now adays

when I bought it

pika how many times/year do you use it

very few people do

which is why xc2 put its ost

on a flash drive

Not very often, but when I do, I am glad I have a cd drive

There was a very sharp decline in cd drive usage, so you're the outlier in this case pika

and theyre all numbered with serial codes

that's kinda neat actually

I mean, I am fine with it being a USB drive as well

to be clear, I mostly just meant they should include the ost

XCX also had one

which is why im sad 3 does not

fake xenoblade game

the x one

is sick

also its full of Sawano music, which makes it a great item

it glows too

thats cool

you are selling me on neat gimmick 1 use flash drives with osts on them

yes

theyre cool

I think music flash drive is liek the only reason I'd bother with a special edition

I'd just never get a special edition

but even then

its meaningless

I'd just

all of the shit you get is online
