I'm probably going to get bashed in five minutes, but I sincerely believe Pro Wrestling X is never going to come out. When a game's been in development for like 7 years, I don't think it's being released despite how much internet hype there is for it. I think there was a press release about a month ago saying that the project is essentially dead. Wrong. Right now, they're having problems with finances, mostly thanks to setbacks with the engine they licensed and then had to scrap, but they're going to try to go on and at least get a playable demo in people's hands. It's basic, but I'd rather pay for something that I believe in that's incomplete then give up on it entirely. The other option was selling out and handing control over to a publisher. I'll take this chance.

It's pretty basic stuff but it shows what they've got and will probably just work on a pack system or something.

Man i cant wait to get Fire Pro Returns. I had this for ages on my Japanese PS2 and its a fabulous game,all the more you can create so many characters, even joshi stars which i adore, and your very own referee as well along with your own ring and logo.! I actually dont enjoy the death match modes though because you cant brawl on the outside of the ring so its very limited to what you can do.Other then that, its really fun to play, so many cool modes, many many characters..just a really fantastic game..so yeah, Screw SVR 2008 and get this!

Can I say something? If you know that you are looking for something deeper, but have resigned yourself to it not being better...why buy it on opening day? That makes no sense to me. It's not like you can't get the deposit back for it, you're not locked in to get that game. If you have doubts that it won't be anything better than great, why spend $60 for the game that might not live up to your expectations? Why not rent it for a few weeks, get one of those monthly passes from a rental place, or get a Gamefly account, and try it out first. That's what I did with '07, and it saved me a good chunk of change in the long run, since I returned the game after 3 months, since I got very bored with it, and rarely picked it up after a month. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to say that this is something you should do, I'd like to just suggest that there may be another way. But this is half of the problem of why THQ seems to think the series is doing fine. There are a huge chunk of people, I believe, that have resigned themselves to the idea that the game's not going to get better, and buy it because there isn't anything else out there. I would like to try to understand the mentality of people who are on the fence about the SDvR series. Nah, I don't take it the wrong way at all. Everything you said makes sense to me. The only thing is that I really enjoy having a wrestling game to play..I've been buying some kind of wrestling game once-a-year since I've had a system. I like having an "up-to-date" WWE game to play every year (the term up-to-date is used losely). I don't know, I can't really explain it. Maybe I'm what's wrong with the decline of the game..the guy who buys it every year regardless of the game content. I just enjoy playing a WWE game. Wow, I'm terrible at explaining things. No, I understand. If you're still having fun with it, I can appreciate it. At least you're not getting it for ZOMG CEENER HAZ TEH NEW SHIRTZZ I NED GAMEZ HUR'Z MAH MONEY!!

I thought I figured out the whole "Run at the ropes and jump out of the ring" thing when I did it, then I realized I was playing as Rey Mysterio...with the "High Flyer" style. Also, didn't they say you could switch styles mid-match? F*** it, it's just a demo. F*** THQesday is coming soon!

Didn't Jed try than, and it wouldn't let him take the discount on pre-orders? EDIT: Hmmmm, it looks like that's not the case, as it's for new customers here. Good thing I've never ordered from there. Now, if only I had $8 right now. EDIT 2: THE QUICKENING: Yeah, it's not eligible for that until the game's actually out. Still, might be good for a second copy.

My question is... why would we want a discount on FPWR? Hell, I feel like I'm already robbing them getting it for $20.

Well, if anyone knows about "Playing Dirty", it's THQ. Also, jevman, you forgot Johnny Nitro with the unfixable namechange.
