I could be a few pages behind on the discussion here: I'm kind of disappointed in Fire Pro. A glitched achievement notwithstanding, the offline is really more of a grind than anything else after a dozen or 15 matches. The customization options are surprisingly good and deep, but it doesn't create that much replay value.

On the other hand, I'm unbelievably excited for WWE '13. I didn't play '12 whatsoever because I'd heard such horrible things about the online, but even so, this will be the first WWE game I've bought new since '08.

I hope that, for reasons I still can't understand, "Windsor, Ontario" is one of the very few Canadian cities you can hail from (though the way it is now, it sounds like the list would be longer and more customizable).

They're in it.. but as their pre-3MB personalities. I guess you could give Heath's entrance to Drew and Jinder and it would pretty much be the same thing, though. ;)

By Black Friday, I'll know if this game is broken or not. If I hear the words "wait for the patch", there is no way. That shit never happens. The patches for these games always make them run worse.

I'm getting WWE '13 as a belated birthday gift. There's enough customization and cool features here that I can probably get used to the gameplay after a while.

They lost the rights to it years ago (I haven't watched the video yet but I assume it's the same generic on they've been using on DVDs and CoD for awhile now).

dubq, Road Dogg's theme is the way it is due to that being his "official" WWE theme (in other words, the one WWE provided THQ with).

I wonder if they will have the "lets get ready to suck it" intro thing. I always found that funny about PG DX.. They kept "suck it" but it was always the crowd who said it and not HHH or HBK.

Either way, thankfully we can change music around in these games.. Cactus' replacement just sounds weird.. Like its the right song but one of the guitars is muted or something.

In the video above, he's only wearing one. Cory Ledesma said that there will be two versions, though - "We have both variations of Stone Cold Steve Austin in the game for those that keep asking. One knee brace version and two knee braces #WWE13"

I'm loving the Stone Cold belt entrance. About time they got that right. Here's hoping there's a couple more. Would love for The Rock to have one too.

For those figuring out where they are going to buy WWE 13 still, a couple places are giving "incentives".

Amazon is giving an MP3 album of the band Pennywise.

Best Buy is offering the WWE Home Video "DX: One Last Stand". Wii and 360 users get the DVD version free, people buying for PS3 get the Blu-ray free.

I ordered from Best Buy since I had a gift card that I hadn't used yet. Hopefully they ship on time (usually I get stuff late from them).

If you already ordered and want the DX DVD, you may want to reach out to customer service once the ad comes out.

Rock has had his title entrance since 2002 so I hope they didn't get rid of it

Damn, really? Guess I should pay more attention. Hopefully the title win celebrations are more than making the wrestlers act like Triple H each time. Smackdown SYM had the awesome Kurt Angle win animation
