IndustryGamers has word from publisher Deep Silver that Dead Island shipments in North America have passed the one million mark in less than a week, and they expect Techland's new zombie game's shipments to surpass two million units worldwide by the end of the week. "We’re thrilled at the retail reception Dead Island has achieved in its first few days," said Geoff Mulligan, Chief Operating Officer at Deep Silver, "The critical ‘first week’ of game sales has been an enormous sales success for Deep Silver. We’re working quickly with our distribution partner in North America, Square Enix, to restock shelves as quickly as we can." Update: Clarified these reported numbers reflect shipments, not sales.

Can someone who owns it let me know if the full storyline is coop or are there separate coop missions? I ask because if I buy w/ the intent to play coop then I'd like to have a lot of content (since I may pay full price vs bargain bin). TIA. The full game is coop. Best coop experience of my life - 1 AM, a few beers, 3 friends - unbelievable fun. Can't recommend this game enough, best coop game ever made IMO. Quite the statement. Nothing beats Serious Sam for coop, though.
