I can't stop playing it.

I'm only through the first two segments and it's already emotionally gripping, I love it.

I love how you can control the speed of the animations and stuff too, I didn't notice that in the demo if it was even there.

My copy will be here today via UPS.

I have to wait until 4pm, though.

Been playing it for less than an hour and I think I'm already coming down with carpal tunnel...

That mall scene was crazy! Felt like Dead Rising. Way too many people.

PIcked up my gamestop pre-order...they only had 20 of the Chronicles download codes for 45 pre-orders. I'd be pissed!

I think if you make 1000 perfect origami cranes during the install you get a platinum one.

Got mine in a few minutes ago but the repair guys are on their way to fix my Sony Projection Set (Optical Block) so I'll likely play it tonight after LOST. At least I'll be able to see it as it should be and not washed out in green. Heavy Rain and a new episode of LOST in the same day = Jizzed in my pants!

Especially when they use that promotion to get you to pre-order from them in the first place. They should be required to know how many codes they're getting before they can use them to entice you to buy from them. I don't understand why people even bother pre-ordering from Gamestop if they can't fulfill their end of the deal.

I don't, for this exact reason. (And because of the complete tools that work at my local ones.) They are full of shit.

Yup. And I'm lucky enough to live near one with clerks that are actually somewhat knowledgeable and not pushy.

I don't think tools working at Gamestop is a local thing. I have never even seen a Gamestop with tolerable employees.

I played it for almost 3 hours this afternoon. It took a while to get interesting IMO but I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm through the scene at the police station

I did get a kick out of the scene at the park

Spoiler:
You've already lost one son, there's a child killer on the loose, and you just leave your other son sitting on the bench while you wander around the park
