But that's ok, cause my 360 is never going to ship from Dell.
Where are you that you're getting a Sunday delivery?
Sorry, the attempted delivery occured Saturday, I was just posting on Sunday.

i've noticed that at the LE it says "in stock" while the SE says "ships within 1 week"
i guess we have to wait some more

Mine finally shipped today!

If I ever get a decent candy cab, the only reason I'd consider keeping my 360 would be for practice mode and/or outputting it in a cab like this. So fuckin' hot.

I haven't seen this anywhere before, but according to Videogameimports, the Ketsui LE also comes with a "giant arcade poster". 8)

It'll probably get to you around the time the DOJBLEX patch goes live.

It's good that since Ketsui has a fixed release date we still have the DOJBLEX patch to be the butt of these jokes. :)
The patch never.

This DOJBLEX patch is getting ridiculous. Come on guys!

It was sorta funny when people were like "well, will it get here before Galuda 2 is out? lol". And now it's Ketsui, which is far more sad.

Does anybody by chance know if Play Asia ships the bonus capture book with the first prints of Ketsui?

I think so since they've also did it with DOJ.
By the way does anybody knows if amiami is going to open more preorders for DS 2 LE??? Because it didn't last too much and PA has really risen up the prices since they almost offered Espgaluda II LE for so low.

It depends on how widely available the book would be.

I ordered DOJBLEX two or three months after it came out and still got the guidebook for that. Not sure if that meant they had a ton of them, or if demand for DOJBLEX was that low.

I wonder where everyone that has the game (esp2) ordered it from. I am still waiting on playasia. I preordered only days before the release, but I am wondering if that makes a difference or not. For future ordering I think I might switch to someone else, who should it be?

does NCSX charge your card when you pre-order, or when it ships?

what about videogameimports ?

thanks anyone.

Videogameimports charges your card when they've shipped your order.

For preorders, NCS charges your card when the order ships. In terms of how fast they ship vs. the cost, they're usually the best option for those stateside.

My (ESP GALUDA II) copy arrived today via Air Mail from play-asia, shipped on day of release. I guess I'll be sending the Cave blog another email of thanks for this one. :D

Ok, so just to get this straight... DDP DOJ BL had only an "SE" and first print runs had an artbook. Ketsui has an LE and an SE and we're speculating that the first print runs will come with an artbook?

I love how people blame play-asia for slow delivery when they are not even responsible for delivery time at all.
Play-Asia is only responsible for shipping it on time, which they did.

All I have to say is....damn USPS taking forever :/

Any info on pre-orders for Death Smiles for North America release?
Any retail chains taking pre-orders yet?

I'd like to know if its been confirmed if there is an LE or not as well?

Thanks :)

We don't know anything yet.

Despite this, Play-Asia is taking orders, but they seem to have pulled a price out of their ass.
