It was news to me that the cost is more if you want soundtrack!

I had read from other posts that the soundtrack was a free thing if you pre-ordered... so I'm bummed, but I appreciate the info.

Thanks, Kakashi.

Usually, given dates are the dates that the game "Streets", in other words, the day the game is allowed for open sale and shipped out. So, most releases don't come out until a day or two afterwards because it takes time for the titles to get to their locations. Not always, but most of the time.
Personally, I think it's dumb since the retail movie market has stopped this crap (everything pre-ships so that stores have it ON THE DATE), but games are still very much like this.

i had heard it was free until today it may only be select locations doing the free one but as far as what they told me its an extra 10 bucks with the game

Murder. Bleh. Well, whatever. It's not like i'm going to kill anyone in that brutal time period between 00:01, of the 24th and 8:00 of the 25th. I might just incapicatite them. Anyway, thanks for the info, i'm glad to hear it a few weeks away rather than when I'm looking for the game, and freaking out. XD

Yeah, I really don't get why they torture us like that.

They'll post the release date, but the date it actually comes out on shelves is a day later. You wouldn't believe how many times I've gone to an EB Games or a Gamestop store and they'd have to explain to me why the game isn't out today, but it will be out tomorrow.

They should just post the day it'd be out on the shelves, it'd make more sense.

But yeah.. people who buy lots of games (more or less people without patience) will have known this already, but it's indeed a good heads up for "he" who doesn't know.
