The trailer and gameplay vid are also there too, which are worth getting if you want to see the game in high def.

I bought the gamerpics immediately. They're pretty good. Thanks to my friend's ability to mess with Xbox.com's gamerpics, it's now possible for us to see if any gamerpics get released before they're on the marketplace. This has happened for a few games, actually, as they upload them to Xbox.com a few days before releasing them publicly.

Personally, I'm fond of 3, 4 and 8.

hahaha just what I did when I was small and played along to the Track and Field machine in the public swimming baths.

As for the rest: can anyone explain to me what those icons are good for? You don't honestly wanna tell me that people pay money for a couple of tiny pics...

You'd be surprised. You really can't complain though when you buy some shit and you're left with 230 pts.

Maybe they're avatars, and instead of letting you use whatever you want they milk you for a few more dollars?

Hm, those aren't too expensive either.

Thanks for the page link. I don't know Japanese so finding the correct search terms is problematic.

People always link Yahoo.jp but most of the time you can't even bid/buy the stuff if you live in the US without finding a 3rd party. :(

Lol- same here. I preordered pretty much the 1st week of it being available. I want to ask wtf 'on hold' means- but I have a feeling with PA I'll find out before they'd respond.

I use Rinkya. You end up paying a bit for their handling fees, but if you REALLY want something, and you don't mind paying..

www.rinkya.com

A couple items in my collection never appear on Ebay.. ever.

No one is dumb enough to make a page's worth of whinging white noise out of the Death Smiles thread. Haha, the very thought.

Anyway, saw the gameplay trailer on the JP marketplace and downloaded it. It looks very impressive, and I can't wait to get the game. Haven't been this excited in a horizontal shmup in.. well, I've basically had no interest in any horizontal shooting game period. So, make this my first. Play-Asia's currently preparing my order and should be shipped within 2 days.
