DEMAGLIO!
Mine's about a 3rd done too, though I'm mooching off my rather-valiant-tonight campus internet, it's like 12 bulbs a second whatever that is. I think it'll be done by 10ish PST. I'm so terribly excited right now how will I sleep :ohdear:

My downloads already at like 50%. I'm surprised at how smoothly this is going. I half-expected Nintendo's servers to melt from the deluge of purchases.

Oh god I'm being rational and not downloading it because money is tight and the preorder will come and I need to sleep tonight :negative:

I don't know why any of y'all are bothering to download tonight. The DL speed is bound to be so low that there's no way in hell it'll be done by the time I have to go to bed.

(I have a physical preorder as well, but even then I probably would have waited until tomorrow morning or something.)

Plenty of people have already said they're nearly halfway done or 1/3rd done or something.

I cancelled my physical order due to the weird shipping delays and my download is almost done. Seems like a win/win to me.

Well, for those of us on the west coast it's not going too bad. The download is even pretty speedy for a Nintendo release that's 1.5GB.

Well, I'm finished with my download after about 27 minutes, so at least the Eshop isn't completely crashing and burning.

I called my Gamestop and they said they were getting it on the 4th as planned. Surely they'll have it when I go there in the morning, so I won't dl it off the e-shop.

If they actually don't have it I will be very angry as I download it off the E-Shop.

Because I just came back to school today and their super amazing internet has got me 75% of the download already and I also have a deathwish upon myself because my first class tomorrow is at 8:40am. :shepface:

Because it isn't slow? At all? I started the download like a half hour ago and it's 3/4 done. Unless you have to sleep right freaking now, it's not a problem.

I've got work off for a few days, the download's 1/3 done and I need something to hold me over until MGR comes out, so I'm playing this thing tonight and going in hard, man. Also, I don't want to try and press my luck with finding a physical copy tomorrow.

I'm as surprised as you! It just happened to work out well. My physical order was through Amazon and even with Prime shipping the earliest I'd get it is Wednesday. This beats it by a mile, for my money anyway.

People expect the eshop to be slow every time a big game like this is released, but it hasn't been once. I think Nintendo's really got that part of things working well.

I really wish the 3DS had a download progress indicator that showed an actual number.

If you do a sleep mode download via "Download Later" (or whatever) you'll be able to see a proper percentage on the main menu.

Put your units like that, making sure the enemy attacks the O. This reduces the enemy's critical chance by 10, so the boss would have 0% chance to crit you. :eng101:

Anyway, I'm backing off out of this thread now. Been fun, but I can't risk spoiling myself any more.

On a lark I checked the game store's website I preordered the game from and apparently they pushed the release back until the 15th :negative:
So now I wonder if I should wait until tomorrow to see if I can cancel my preorder and get my 10 bucks refunded or if I should just eat that amount and just purchase the thing through the eShop right now.

EDIT: Just remembered I don't have any SD cards around here anyway so I gotta wait for tomorrow one way or another :saddowns:

First level with Chrom: HP, Str, Luck, Res. OK, that's OK I guess.
First level with +Skill/-Res Avatar: HP, Skill, Speed, Res. I can take that.
First level with Lissa: HP, Str, Mag, Skill, Spd, Lck, Res. Oh, yes, yes I see how this game is going to go :black101:

Also everyone use Sully, shes the best.
