Do you happen to know if places like the PlayStation Store, X Box One Store, Walmart and BestBuy will have this for pre-order or just Amazon and Gamestop. Please let me know. I really want this version looks awesome! Thanks a lot!

Hey sorry for your situation bud. I was just kidding with ya. I understand why it probably didn't come across that way, considering.

Perhaps, but he's not wrong. These are big issues and 2K has earned their current reputation. It's on them to fix it.

Thanks a lot for your support, hopefully they will see them and fix those so that we can enjoy the game at last.

that's cool for if you wanna pay 80 bucks for it. I'll pay 80 for College and 2k 16 packaged together, But I think the whole community would too. But I want the Anthony Davis Cover personally

He's not? First, he's talking about 2K15, not 2K16. 2K16 isn't even out yet! Secondly, this thread is about the Jordan special edition. Most of it is complete hyperbole. The others, like social media and difficulty settings, get over it. But I'll agree with point #10 completely. It's one of the many reasons why I've grown to hate that mode.

They had me at MJ. Pre-ordered.

# 88 Dmanning2 @ 07/01/15 10:37 PM

You needed a cord for the DS4? You didn't have to go to Gamestop for that. That's a standard micro-usb cable. The newer standard in USB to the DS3 cable you miss.

Seriously? You're going to go there? Let's not start talking about how smart "we" PC players are. I see dudes dropping $1000 of digital content on PC. Let alone spending 3x the price for a gaming rig to play the same games. If it was on PC, it'd still sell. Get over yourself.

BTW, I primarily game on PC. Have since C64. Meaning: likely before you were born.

You don't sound particularly smart so there must be another more logical reason.

650� for a PC that can run everything on better graphics than any console can. And I pay 1/3 of the price for games, console gamers (and stupid/lazy pc gamers) pay.

# 93 Jrocc23 @ 07/02/15 02:56 PM

Here we go with this PC "Master race" stuff.

We get it. But it's not going to convert people to PC and people will still love their consoles. What's the point?

# 94 23 @ 07/02/15 03:38 PM

AND i'D WARN THAT this console war stuff is against the TOS, fyi

# 95 iBMIKEB @ 07/02/15 07:35 PM

Cool idea to throw in a Fathead, didn't know they were still on ha.

# 96 Magnus1959 @ 07/08/15 04:48 PM

Preordered mine today.

On top of getting the extra value things, you also get the game 4 days early, which people pay the extra 20 just to get it early n usually becomes a hassle to find it early, so imo I think its worth it, other pre order deals usually not as good as this one, so why are people hating for? Haters will be Haters
