Definitely getting it!

In fact, bf and I are hosting a launch party for it with some of our friends. Should be a fun time, especially since it's been a lil while since we've seen some of them.
When I originally saw the Direct, I was excited, but I also knew that my island had to get back to the present since I honestly had stopped playing for months. Missed a bunch of items, so I wanted to get them as I was going back to the present. I'm still a lil behind, but I'm at least in October now.
I actually got inspired to start decorating my island for real and honestly, considering I didn't really decorate my island in the first place after terraforming and placing my rock garden, it actually works out. I don't have to move stuff to make room for the veggie garden.
Also, lil tip, if you have a Costco near you, you can get $100 worth of gift cards, which is four $25 cards, for around $90. If you know you're gonna buy stuff from the eshop anyway, it's worth it. I'm gonna be splitting it between 4 of us, so we all end up getting the DLC at a slight discount. On Costco's site, they're selling a $50 card for $44.99.
