Purchasing Advice

Post by Pirate1019 »

Not sure if this belongs in the trading section or here, but I figure it's a short enough question that it won't matter.

I was wondering about the game Radirgy/Radilgy. I can buy it for ~$20 on playasia, but I would have to buy the region-free disc to go along with it also, so the purchase would come to ~$45 not including shipping and taxes. Is the game worth the money? On another note, it sounds a bit obvious but is playasia a reliable place to buy stuff? We've had a some credit theft troubles as of late and it would ease my mind to hear some people about them. Thanks.

I always buy from PA. Besides the customs thing that occasionally happens (an obvious side effect of living in crappy England), they've never let me down yet.

Radirgy is great fun, by the way.

So a yes?

Yeah, they seemed really trustworthy, but like I said, the credit-theft has our family walking on pins and needles.

Oh, and as a side note, I have to buy the GC version, so if anybody has experience with how it might be different then any other versions please come forth and elaborate.

Add the expense of buying a new controller for the gamecube. Playing shmups with the default controller is nearly impossible.

I wouldn't worry about that. I managed to play Ikaruga and Chaos Field on the standard ones.

EDIT: I need a new one anyway. :?
