AWESOME!!
Awesome game, I haven't actually seen many copies here in the UK, in my region there are no second hand copies either - so people are actually keeping their copies and in some cases the prices have even gone up for the new/used copies in retailers. Also seeing as it has been released about 3 weeks ago I went to trade it in as I just haven't had anymore time to play it lately and got more than reasonable trade in value - so I guess it is pretty tight here in EMEAA.
awesome.
The "Souls" franchise is expanding. who would have thought , right Sony ? ;-)
Well deserved, such an amazing and challenging experience.
AWESOME!!
