Will you be picking up the game tomorrow for STEAM or in your savage non-North American country?
Let us know!
I can't find it in the Steam store yet. It really depends on what it'll cost whether I'll pre-order: I've been waiting for years, but if its too expensive (especially with the cable that's not included on Steam) I will have to postpone my purchase a little further.
I know the DVD-version is currently on sale for €45 online, so Steam'd need to be around €30-€35 to make it worth it.

🙂
Do you know if people that didn't pre order from Steam or Amazon will get a beta key or bonuses? I pre-ordered from Best Buy with a discount and I don't want to cancel it.
Well at least you got a discount right?
Do the pre-order bonuses apply for Rocksmith PC in the US?
Can I get back to you on that? I can't find that pre-order info anywhere…
Thanks Elliott!
Pre-ordered mine, will be heading straight to Game from work on Friday to pick it up. I've waited 12 months for this day 🙂
