I'd say thats debatable, I know I got my old board out after completing TH3. Im sure there where thousands of kids who decided its the 'thing' to do.
Not sure if the same will translate into paintball though, as paintball cost's more - you have to be reasonably old or have a organiser in your group of friends to arrange a game.
The game is gonna be launched in europe at the max masters 5 man in germany(quality event!) week b4 euro ball 5man at same venue(dubious quality event!?),have been reliably informed that the games people will be at this event to launch it/get people buying it etc etc!!!!......Frenchie......."we likes hobbitsesss"
Wow...I'm impressed....... I wonder if there will be a full release around then because to be honest I wasn't expecting to see any sign of it this side of the pond until after Christmas. Don't expect it to do do well though if it does come out full around that time, it'll get lost in the deluge of quarter 4 releases.
Oh Broz, you silly nay-sayer! It also coincides with the end of the tournament season. This is probably going to get the majority of it's early sales from players, who will buy it to play paintball while it snows outside.
