I don't know what voice you were listening to but that was definitely Christopher Lee's voice. But in a way you're right, the depth and loudness of his voice was, for lack of a better term, soft. I think old age has finally caught up to him.

Germany is 9 hours ahead of us in time so there's probably going to be news popping late tonight! Can't wait to see whats in store for us tomorrow.

358/2 Days I think is the best version. I'm gonna hold off on hearing BBS's version until it comes out lol

Gamestop only holds your reserved item for 48 hours. If you don't pick it up and pay in-full within those 48 hours they sell your copy to the public but the money you spent for reserving it will still be kept under your name and number. When the time comes for you to purchase it, go to the gamestop website and check if they have the bundle in-store at your local gamestop. If not, then your best option is to purchase the bundle online.

I'm thinking about buying the guide, but the only way for me to ever use it is if I failed to seek a way to defeat the super hard "cloaked" optional boss. Otherwise I wouldn't use it until after I beat the game so I don't get spoiled.

One thing people should understand is that game development takes time. With Kingdom Hearts and the kind of caliber the game exudes takes months & more often years of planning & developing. I have much respect for what Nomura does and blaming him on irrelevent things puts more pressure on him to create these games. So please everyone give the guy some credit and show support for him. Nomura has a lot of pressure on him as it is.

I've been doing what most teenagers do, just chill at home, go gallivanting with friends, party, & patiently wait for BBS. Also since I'm a football fan, I got NFL pre-season to keep me occupied till September 7th as well as school. These past months waiting for BBS went by pretty fast in my opinion. I'm hoping the last month will do the same.

I loved the movie Inception. But you know it just came to me, is it possible that Kingdom Hearts 3D could be based on the concept of Inception? To have the ability dreamshare and have a dream within a dream within a dream (3 layers of dreaming)?

Alright I've figured it out. Riku's body was stolen and his heart was cast away in darkness right?. If you remember the door to darkness leads to the realm of darkness where all lost hearts gather so basically Riku's heart was behind the door the whole time. You see when Ansem called out to Kingdom Hearts and was overwhelmed by the light, Riku was able to regain his body. That's why he had appeared on the other side of the door since his heart was there the whole time.

Here's a scene from Kingdom Hearts Final Mix showing Riku in the realm of darkness. I hope it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzMiAyMju3E

I started vacation in the middle of May & I don't start school until August 17th. I basically used up 3 months of my vacation time patiently waiting for BBS to come out, which sucked by the way. Anyways I do feel for you, I was also irritated and annoyed at the fact that Square didn't release BBS during summer vacation..

Well for Kingdom Hearts on nintendo handhelds it took an average of 2 & a half months (between CoM & 358/2) to be released overseas. Late December going onto early January sounds about right. Then again, if they say late winter then expect a release date somewhere between late February & early March where mid-March 2011 marks the end of the winter season.

Is the strategy guide worth the extra money?

I called Gamestop again to confirm that they wont have an in store pick up option for the bundle online. So basically if you pre-order online it'll ship to your house. In store pick up is for the people who reserved the bundle at Gamestop so to answer your question Keyblader: Yes you'll have to pre-order the bundle at your local Gamestop for in-store pickup. I'm sorry if I caused any confusion..

In store pick up is only for those who reserved the bundle at Gamestop, not online. Also the bundle is Gamestop exclusive so no store other than Gamestop will be selling it.
