So they've posted their review, and it looks quite promising. 9.0.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/117/1170808p1.html

The bit about user generated content seems pretty neat. Glad that the graphics have improved as well. I'm probably halfway through inFAMOUS 1 right now, and my biggest gripe is the graphics. I'm enjoying the first one quite a bit, so I'll definitely grab this on launch day.

Anybody else gonna be picking this one up on June 7th?

I'm torn on getting it on the 7th. I was getting ready to pick up the original when Sony announced it would be one of the free games in the welcome back package. I kind of wanted to play it first before jumping into the sequel.

I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, and I have high hopes for the sequel too. The first one is really worth playing because it has its own look and feel, especially for an open world game. I would hit it up before the inevitably improved sequel because going back might be too difficult.

Day 1 purchase for me.

Same here. My gripes with the first were mainly visual (incredibly bad aliasing, poorish animations, muddy textures overal) and have been remedied in the sequel. It's one of the last remaining reasons I've held on to my PS3.

Not a day 1 for me only because I have an exam shortly thereafter; however, post-exam I will by playing the Hell out of this one.

The second still has horrible aliasing, noticed it the first time I played the demo. Other than that, in my short couple of minutes, the climbing, gameplay, and powers seemed way better.

Same here. My PS3 is toast at the moment, but I will pick it up for sure when it's repaired, or I pick up a slim model. Infamous 1 was one of the best PS3 exclusives.

Hmm, that's kind of a bummer about the first part. I don't know why so many PS3 games have so much aliasing. Doesn't effect too much though as long as it plays better.

I'll probably wait for a sale, mainly because I rarely buy games new. The last day 1 game I got for a console was probably mgs4.

Some people are reporting that Target is already selling inFAMOUS 2 on clearance for $29.99. Looks like some sort of pricing/inventory mistake or something, which happened before with MLB 2011 The Show.

Extreme YMMV, but it's worth checking out. I'm gonna hit target on my lunch break.

I'm sure they'll catch it by the time I'm off work, but I'm going to check anyway. Are they marked as clearance or just happen to be ringing up as such? Can't check gaming links from work...

What people are saying is that they're marked with a clearance sticker, and placed in a clearance bin in the video games section. Since they have a clearance sticker, they're not scanning the actual barcode, so it doesn't alert the cashier not to sell it until June 7th.

Found nothing. Checked the clearance rack they have, nothing. Did get Buzz Quiz World (with 4 buzzers) and Kung Fu Rider (not a great game, I know) for $10 each though. Checked K-Mart for shits and giggles, nothing.

Apparently the Buzz is going for $50 new on Amazon...listed mine, if it sells I'll go pick up the other one they have for $10 too.

Damn. Went to my local Target and they didn't have anything. Just a little bit of signage that said "Coming 6.7". They did have Portal 2 for $40, which I almost jumped on, but I'd rather play that on PC.

Went to two targets and no luck, though one guy confirmed they had 4 in the back and they were priced at $60. Sounds like corporate might have fixed it.

It's been $40 on the PS3 and $30 on the PC for a while now at gamestop. It looks like this is going to be the retail price for these versions.

Had to stop at a Target to get a Slip N Slide for the kids (they just don't make them like they used to). No inFamous 2 but they had the MvC 3 Collector's Edition for $34.99 (Xbox 360) and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for $19.99 (PS3).
