My copy should be getting here tomorrow as well.

I am also interested to know what the packaging on the bundle is like.

Went to pick up my Gamestop.com preorder in store, and the clerk told me that artbooks were for in-store preorders only. Website did NOT say that when I ordered online. What the FUCK gamestop.

Did you bring that to the attention of the manager?

It WAS the manager that told me that.

If the website mentions the art book and not that it is in store only I'd go over his head. They probably can't get you an art book, but you should get compensation.

Yeah, I used the contact us option on Gamestop.com, I didn't pickup my preorder yet under the hope that I could get someone elses artbook later, but it concerns me that this is a limited release. Should I just pick it up sans artbook in the meantime.

Freakin-A gamestop, nice reminder of why I stopped shopping there. First Hyperdimension Neptunia, now this :x

Whoa, what the fuck!? I never heard about an art book. I picked up my copy today... no art book. I even reserved it in the store.

Glad you feel my pain man :( I solely preorder games the minute I hear there is an artbook available. That adds even more to the pain knowing that people are managing to sell the artbook on ebay for $30-40, that's over 50% of the games worth :S

Dude, that's fucking weak. You guys got robbed.

I pre-ordered in-store 2 months ago, so I was gonna go ape shit if I didn't get the artwork book.
