Bravely Default and Pokemon X. Happy days!

Got in my Mugen Souls Z LE pre-order. No effs given.

I waiting to see how my next CE(s) show up, considering the damaged Danganronpa LEs that people were getting. I'm sending my NISA packages to a PO in the USA, and then driving down there to collect it. So I can't easily exchange a item 3 times when they repeatedly arrive crushed If I completely miss Mugen Souls Z because of reasonable caution, I don't give an eff
Uhh, on topic. Red Steel for $1.79

I buckled and bought Dark Souls 2. Looking forward to praising the sun, or being welcomed to dark souls, and by that I mean dying.

Yeah man I was really pissed about that. I may have complained on their forum and to their CS. They said they were trying a new shipping service and that problems would be avoided in the future but I'm not sure what all of that means. I hope they go back to what they were doing before which I believe was shipping everything themselves. I'll let you know how Witch and Demon Gaze LEs arrive and we can compare notes or something.

I can't miss an LE from NISA (despite the fact that it may not sell out) but if I were in your position it would weigh on me more heavily.

Edit: Got FEAR3 and Sleeping Dogs from the same ebay seller for $14 shipped. They don't combine shipping but w/e still fairly cheap. Gifts for my step brother's birthday coming up in April. I'll probably bum Sleeping Dogs though, already played FEAR3.

Yeah, they're using a new distribution service located in Texas where they're having their product assembled, instead of sending the stuff all the way to California and redistributing it. Which makes perfect sense. The problem is NISA hasn't had all that much luck correcting the issues. Danganronpa re:shipments that went out of Texas weren't packed correctly, despite NISA yelling at them. From what I've heard packages that had to be sent out a third time NISA just handled themselves from California.

So I'm kinda worried I'm gonna have to start shipping stuff up to Canada at ~$20 shipping a pop, so I can exchange things as needed

I've gotten most of them, but I skipped Danganronpa luckily. I played it on the PSP some, and I simply didn't like it. A pity seeing as it really looks like the sort of game I like, and it shot up in value overnight.

On topic: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, as a belated birthday present. Yeah it's a present and not a purchase, but I haven't bought any games today (yet)

Yeah what I'm really hoping for is that they will just go back to handling stuff themselves. It's a lot different for me since I get free shipping straight to me. Although mine was in good enough shape to where I just accepted my copy. Let's hope they do what is best for the consumer, which they have been pretty good about in the past.

I may never play Danganronpa but I've made the choice to buy everything NISA releases and the same goes for Aksys and XSeed though sometimes I wait for price drops on Aksys/XSeed stuff and skip maybe 10% of their stuff ie the stuff I know I would never play. But I always buy the games these 3 put out new from a retailer or direct to make sure they are getting my support.

Oh good grief @ the current prices.

Just bought Spore Heroes Arena for my daughter and Ocarina of Time for 3DS for the both of us. I've heard of a lot of good things about this Zelda game!

[Drageuth]

Bought Duck Tales 2 (CIB) off someone on Reddit who saw my collection pictures that I posted. $250CAD shipped -- game and manual look mint, box is a little beat up but not too bad. I'm super-stoked, even if I got in a really good priced auction for this game, I'd be expected to pay ~$325CAD shipped after shipping and exchange rate took effect.

Yo all it's been ages and so many games and platinum's later. lol. However, I have recently picked up:

(PS3) Tales of Symphonia Chronicles
(PS3) Neir
(PS3) Tomb Raider

and in the near future:
(PS3) Final Fantasy X-X2 HD Remastered CE

[Rasgrez]

Titanfall, PC. I'll pick up Dark Souls 2 later.

[FlavaFlave]

Picked up my copy of Dark Souls 2 today, and decided to go ahead and pay off MGSV Ground Zeroes (PS4) and FFX-HD (PS3). I was going to get them digitally, but I decided against it since they weren't any cheaper. GZ was originally supposed to be $10 cheaper to DL, but they lowered the price in the end.

Just bought myself a used copy of Rune Factory Tides of destiny for the PS3

[Ragnar]

Picked up my copy of Dark Souls 2 today,

Ditto. Except well, I got both the CE and the Black Armor Edition. I don't think I really should've grabbed the CE, it's just too big. Nigh all high print-run gigantic CEs tank in value. It comes in a flimsy paperboard box, that even brand new for me has a crease down one side and a small tear on the bottom. I'm not going to be surprised if they turn up on clearance sales for $60 in 2-3 months.

No, buying something is the admission price for every post in this thread

I fully expect to be able to get the CE at the price of a used regular copy when Gamestop removes the New SKU from their system.
