Yeah, I think I remember reading that awhile ago actually.

You know what, I've been getting way to many of these bundles lately for games I really don't even care about. As I'm mostly getting them for the art book included, and nothing more.

Currently, I'm really strapped on my finances, so I think I'm going to go through my collection, and sell off these sets for games that I'm not really a fan off, and use the funds to buy vanilla versions of the games(maybe even used copies for my collection), and pocket the rest for future more wanted sets and bundles.

So maybe missing out on this set was a blessing in disguise, as now I'm realizing I was getting out of control.

EDIT: Actually, that's why I'm really interested in some of the VGP releases, as they don't offer as much as some of the full scale bundles from other places, but they offer the art book along with the base game, and that's all I really want most times anyway.

Does Iffy's online store ever restock their LE sets? I was trying to get around to ordering the "Superdimension Neptune VS. Sega Hard Girls Bundle" for the last few days, and this morning when I finally got the time it appears to be sold out.

A wave of panic rushed over me just now. I remembered going to the page before they took preorders, but couldn't remember if I went back and preordered. Whew! Found my confirmation email.

They still have LE's of MeiQ, but Neptune LE's seem to sell out pretty quick.

No place else sales their items either right? Oh well, $70 saved I guess.

Man you missed out. The R1 version just sold out this week. The Euro/R2 version sold out in just five days, it was nuts to watch.

Correct the leftovers from cancelled and voided payments, damaged in shipping claims, and undeliverable packages are held back and they sell them at the Idea Factory booth and the major anime conventions, namely Anime Expo (aka AX) in Los Angeles, CA.

 
I am looking to get a trigger grip for my Vita 1000, anyone have any suggestions? The price range on these things seems huge and I would prefer to spend ~$20.

Yeah, I knew how fast the EU version was selling, so I was keeping an eye on the US version. A few days ago I remembered it, and was shocked it was still in stock, and I just kept getting busy with this and that, and I had the order page opened in my browser the whole time, and today when I went to put it in my cart, it was GONE!

Like I said, this is a wake up call for me, as I've been buying these bundles, and I'm not even a fan of the games or series. I always like art books of any type or variety, but most of the other included items are never of interest what so ever. So I'm gonna start selling these bigger bundle sets, and use the proceeds to buy the vanilla games.

And now going forward, I'll be sticking with VGP, as they offer the base game, and the art books as a bonus, at a much better value. Then for the bigger LE bundles, I'll stick to games which I really like, as this has been getting out of control, at least for me. I swear for a dead system, I'm spending almost every dollar of my gaming budget on Vita games.

I concur on One Way Heroics. Played demo for like two hours and it felt so repetitive already. Seemed really...not sure how to put it....just not very fun and kind of unpolished.

I watched a video and knew it wasn't for me and i'm not a flipper either to each their own that game is.......not good

 
I think the demo really hurt One Way Heroics. It's still available. I tried the demo, not knowing anything about the game outside its announcement trailer, and didn't like it at all.

I agree 100% about the game. It'll still sell out and hold value though (talking Vita only). Still, this is the longest surviving vita game yet for a morning sale. Over an hour and there are still a few left of both (but just a few as I'm typing this). PS4 versions are still very available.

Hopefully the LRG peeps don't panic and start cutting production numbers for other games thinking somehow this is an indication of the market rather than an indication of the market for these specific games. I think the next game they have that I want is going to possibly be Cosmic Star Heroine... but I hope like One Way Heroics we get a demo as I really don't want any games I think aren't fun in my physical game collection.

Don't we all really want Cosmic Star Heroine? It's like the ultimate game release tease. Yes, we're publishing the game. No it's not ready yet. Yes, there is a playable demo the developer has allowed people to play at E3 and PAX, no you may not download it. Yes it's coming out soon... we just can't say if that will be this year or not. :wall:

I ordered two copies of "Thomas Was Alone". Going to gift one at Christmas to an autistic nephew who loves platformer-type games and is always trying (unsuccessfully) to talk with a British accent because Dr. Who, naturally, has such accent.

i'm an RPGMaker nut....so yes I want it. Also their previous games were pretty fun IMHO.

 
just successfully placed 3 orders of ZTD bonus watch for free. seems like i got another $500 credit for ordering the watch which is now priced at $150. I already got two watches when it was $500 each, let's see how this will work out.

 
Yeah, no seller feedback, no good.

His buying feedback is really weird too.

The guy just buys bulks of blank CDs.

Here's the issue going on. Sony use to be able to operate and do releases to all of Southeast Asia from Hong Kong and if it were an English-Only release then it was no big deal because for over a century English was the official language in Hong Kong. But just a few year ago the Chinese government implemented effectively their final stage in the absorption of Hong Kong and English is no longer taught in the schools as the native language. Chinese has been re-implemented as the official language and the newest generation of kids in school in Hong Kong are being forced to learn Chinese even if that's not the language spoken in their home.

The folks at Sony were not stupid to say the least and anyone in the freeworld with a half a brain could see that this was going to eventually happen since the British foolishly gave Hong Kong back to the Chi-Coms in the mid-90's, only real surprise was that it took the communists as long as it did to implement the tossing out of English language usage.

Sony's plan all along has been for China to eventually be its' own region code, and with the forced slow death of the usage of the English language within Chinese borders this just works to ensure that will happen. Many of the other Southeast Asian nations either have English as the official or as a recognized secondary language. The divide as things are presently going will eventually bundle up all of the nations where English language releases are possible as being a new region code for PlayStation products overseen by Sony's Southeast Asian Branch in Singapore, Chinese language releases overseen by their Hong Kong branch, Korean language releases overseen by the Korea Branch, and Japanese language releases handled by their Headquarters in Japan. We've already gotten a sense that this is how it will be due to the locations of where Sony has held press conferences these last two months when showing off the PS VR and new models of the PS4.

I'm not sure if you came from HK, but that's very wrong information here. Just to say first, most Hong Kong people use English Windows, unlike most Taiwanese and Mainland China use Chinese Windows.

English has always been taught and still a big part in school before and now, it was official language in government document before 1997 but it has never been "native speaking language" like Singapore. We don't speak English in everyday life, except when need to.

There have always been both English-teaching or Cantonese-teaching primary and high schools, the only difference is the text book and technical terms using English or Chinese, mostly still use mix of English and Cantonese in classes (except English class of course). And "English-teaching" has always been the preferred and parents sort all the way to get in those.

All parents or kids (they are not stupid) know leaning English is the key for future jobs and success.

On the other hand, Chinese is always the compulsory class same as English (except a few International schools for foreigners), there is no such thing "kids in school in Hong Kong are being forced to learn Chines", they are always required to learn read and write in Chinese last few centuries. The only difference after 1997 is they added the class to teach speaking Mandarin.

However, in playing Japanese-based games and watching Anime, many people would prefer Chinese translation because many words can be direction translation as Japanese contains a lot of Chinese characters. And also historic reasons that many of us grew up playing Japanese games in NES/SNES using strategy guides translating every Japanese in the game into Chinese. But when playing US-based game, they would prefer stay in English.

Unless you literally camp there right when the booth opens, they basically sell out before noon that first day, at least the Nep Nep titles, lol.

And they're basically all dingers, or opened returns. :*(

Why is that any different from other major project launches. There were seven or eight people who literally camped out overnight at the entrance to the Best Buy I work at to buy Oculus Rift on launch day. People wiill spend the night in front of a retailer on Thanksgiving night to get ahold of sale items on Black Friday. I think the only difference here is that insane entrance fee to get into AX, it's like, "Hey thanks for your interest in seeing the vendors at our expo, now pay the entrance fee or no shot at a copy of the latest Nep-Nep games for you!".

I wasn't trying to make a point, I was just stating what it would be like for those looking to get one at a booth for those who are interested in going this route. :p

Question to those who played/plat'd Ray Gigant. No spoilers ahead. If your reply contains spoilers please spoiler tag it. Thanks (Google was no help at all due this game being niche?).

I try not to consume myself with trophies, but this one seems simple enough. I am only missing the ones of leveling all skills. However, I cannot grind for force crystals efficiently. Is there a post-game dungeon for grinding force crystals and leveling up (well, obtaining, actually) character skills?

Do you all think trails of Cold steel 2 vita will go up in value?   I got a terrible copy from AWH, and since I can not return it, I'm debating if I should sell it at a loss or just hold on to it.

Eventually I see all Vita games going up somewhat in value. RPGs are always more wanted of said games....so I'd say yes....I wouldn't speculate though.

 
Heads up if you're using Henkaku: Someone wrote a bricking homebrew and are passing it off as Fruit Ninja and Kung-fu Rabbit.

 
Also how do I get the american update with airship q?  I started the game but it doesn't automatically download.

Do I need to log on to PSN?

I'm pretty annoyed by Airship Q.  I have no idea how to save the stupid game.  I pressed start and save but after I restart, it never saves!!  There is no instruction manual.  Anyone who played this game, do you know how to save?

 
New Vita/PS4 game announced for 2017, Accel World vs Sword Art Online Millennium Twilight

Okay thanks.  Very helpful.  I'm enjoying Airship Q but, not being able to save during story mode is annoying.   If anyone completed the storyline, let me know what you did.

 
Wanted to import Moreo Crystal from Play Asia but damn that $47 + $5 shipping is hard to swallow.

Any universal coupon codes? I hear there is a $3 off one that is universal and unlimited use？
