-Signed That's a lot of money. I'm probably gonna wait awhile before I buy the next gen. Maybe make some dinaro on my RGH before I move on.


I was going to get mine when it came out, but they were out of consoles and I'm still debating on whether to get it. Most of my friends are on Xbox 360 and PC gaming so I'm kinda staying in the middle for now.


I had mine preordered so I got it at the midnight release.
