MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.
HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though
)
I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).
I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.
I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

Some of the comments here are mindboggling.
There is nothing inherently wrong with TR going x1 exclusive.
Some 3rd parties go exclusive, some ips change hands to being exclusive.
Im see ppl complaining about this deal, yet had no issue with something like Bayonetta 2 moving to nintendo.
Yes i csn see the replies now, "nintendo saved bayo". Ok please, stop for a sec. Nintendo didnt save bayo out of thr kindness of their heart. The wiiu was lacking support from other studios as early as its reveal... They needed games and bayo 2 came cheap.
For all we know, TB2 might not have even been made without MS. We saw this with Titanfall with EA needing a partner to help with finance.
So does this mean I support this exclusive deal? No. I think ppl trying to tell others to stop whining also need to reevaluate their thoughts.
We have seen reports on how TB ps4 sold about 70% of next gen sales. This is important. The fanbase for this IP is clearly with Sony. Take into account that Sony has stated that nearly 50% of ps4 owners did not have a ps3 and we start to see a very interesting thing: thr x1 ie not the direct market for this game .
Some journalist said it best, when you have 10 million ps4s already sold, there comes a time when you just dont need TR.
When TR launches, the X1 is going to be so behind the ps4 that SE is not going to leave such a valuble IP in that state.
TR will come to ps4 after the x1 launch. Nothing is going to change that now. MS got themselves a deal and good for them. Time will tell whether the money was better spent on their own studios or not.

Confirms that the game is timed exclusive to X1/ 360.
Now ppl can stop whining.

Does the exclusive to Xbox have a duration? Is it timed? How long is the duration? Can we expect a PlayStation 4 or PC release in the future?
Yes, our deal with Microsoft has a duration. We aren’t discussing details of the deal, and are focused on delivering a great game on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Now ppl can stop whining.

They can't tell us yet because they didn't plan on making it a timed exclusive.
Once they saw the backlash they got, they quickly changed their tune.

Pretty much. MS just isn't making friends. This deal would have screwed the fan base which is 70% on Playstation
After the events on Yamatai, the young archeologist has grown into a capable adventure seeker, and Rise of the Tomb Raider will send Lara to the frozen wilds of Siberia on a hunt for the lost secrets of immortality. Now Lara will have to hunt and craft new survival gear in order to take on larger puzzle tombs and a deadly new enemy, a secret society that has been lying in the shadows since the last game.
Big article at Eurogamer on the GameInformer Magazine article - LOL

In terms of gameplay, one of the most exciting new additions is crafting. Taking a page out of The Last of Us and Alien: Isolation, Lara will scavenge for metals, minerals, plants and animal hides to construct things like poisonous ammo, traps, grenades, molotov cocktails and healing items.
Creatures will have more advanced AI and react to the climate. Some animals will only come out at night or during the day, and hunting for certain hides will add a Monster Hunter-esque element of tracking your prey.
Puzzles sound as if they're going to be a little less hand-holdy this time around. There will even be some decoding required as players try to decipher an ancient language that will shed new light on previously unclear secrets.
The Xbox 360 version of Rise of the Tome Raider will be handled by Nixxes Software and that Crystal Dynamics won't compromise on its vision for a next-gen Tomb Raider by diluting it so it works on Xbox 360. "The existence of that game isn't limiting our work on the Xbox One version," promised Crystal Dynamics' Darrell Gallagher.

So keen to play this game as soon as its released but I'm gonna wait, Tomb Raider has always been a PS game for me. Might end up just getting / playing both
I know they walked back the XB1 exclusivity immediately after the announcement, but have they ever released anything since to show that they are working on a PS4 version? Just ask as I read an article towards the end of last year (maybe Destructoid or Joystiq) where they speculated that MS had paid for proper exclusivity on this title.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. I also remember all the backtracking right after the announcement.
I'd guess tho it'll eventually come as another "definitive edition" at some point. After the announcement there were articles looking at total sales figures and 70% of sales for the new Tomb Raider were on Sony platforms making Microsoft seem an odd choice for total exclusivity. Probably more a Microsoft response to Uncharted 4 at the end of this year.

MS more than likely backed up the money truck to CD's lawn to secure the exclusivity, timed or not. They needed a good 3rd party exclusive and they paid handsomely for it
Yeah won't be holding out for the PS4 version, I doubt there will even be a PS4 version and if there is it will be like a GOTY edition to get over the contract they are probably in.
Article in gameinformer says they are still contemplating bringing the game to other platforms. By the time anything happens there will be so many spoilers on the game that there will probably be very little interest in playing it so late down the line.
Also funny to see a PS4 dev kit in the GameInformer video.

Ms themselves walked back on the exclusivity. you dont see them toting this as exclusive like they did with TitanFall.
i am pretty sure there will be a PS4 version (the PS3 and PS4 versions of the first game were the best selling in their respective generation). Of course, MS could have changed the deal and good for them if they have.
But as it stands, they will work a PS4 port after they have shipped the X1 version. But of course they cant publicly announce that, they have a contract in place and therefore will not talk about any other version besides the Ms ones. If there isn't so be it, it stays on X1 and 360 (is there a pc version?).
The GI images look pretty good so far.
