    Looks like we can expect plenty of online activity now during the next few days. But seriously, 1200% over a 10$ decrease? That's pretty crazy.

      Haha, agreed. Honestly, if I would be still an active gamer, I would have probably be drooling over this game, having dreams and decreasing my school grades because of it. My Patience wouldn't be able to hold all my wish to get the new game.
      Luckily, not my case.
