The ones who didn't cancel still gets the game for 59.99, so it's like 20$ more for the ones who are going to get it now.

Where did you get that number?

There, I quoted you both so no arguing here, ok.

And to answer the question, read this.

plus they get a fee VMU and the sticker given which was also sent out with the preorders of the regular edition.

Ah well, at least I snagged a copy.

Yes that's pretty lucky

, but still the total is like 83 bucks overall with shipping so I didn't really saved anything. What's your total with shipping?

It's nice of them to include a VMU, even though most DC owners probably don't really need one. The LE edition might have been worth it at $59.99 (or 54.99 with a coupon), but at $79.99, it's really expensive.

I am guessing you´ve chosen EMS shipping then.
The total including shipping for me was only $81.39 (thank god for the strong Euro currency though

)

It´s the same as the Trigger Heart LE (granted: official release) and most likely much more "limited", with only 500 (marked) copies produced.
And I like Last Hope better than THE too, so I think it´s worth it.

Damn you!! lol, I ended up paying more then you, oh well I'll live. Yes I have euro too, but what shipping way you used? The cheapest with a coupon?

Yup, airmail box (non trackable, but insured) and I used 1 $5 off coupon.

Anyway, hope jp is reading this in time so he can get his LE too (if he´s still after it that is). Nice to know it´s 1 piece per customer as well, so no hoarding of LE´s by resellers too hopefully.

It says "preparing order" in my play-asia account but I haven't had a single email from them

Damn that sucks, try to resale your regular copy on ebay and get the limited edition while you still can.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 7:42 am

lol.. no it's ok. I'll live with the copy I have this time, I was just joking around.

Maybe they are waiting on a new shipment of VMU's or stickers ?

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 11:34 am

Or candies?

Ganelon · Post by **Ganelon** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 1:34 pm

Nah, they've shipped out now.

I haven't had free candies from play-asia for over 2 years

Oh, and the game has shipped now, and at the original pre-order price. It's about fucking time too.

Tempted by the LE now that it's back in stock. Can we summarise what's good/bad about this game before I waste even more cash on games...?

Also, what style is the soundtrack?

Fighter17 · Post by **Fighter17** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:50 am

And still no NGCD version.

Damn.

LSU · Post by **LSU** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 6:13 am

I'm sorry, but I think asking $80 for a homebrew game is a little crazy, ltd edition or not.

(And I'm actually one of the few folks who think this game isn't so bad..... not great obviously, but not sooooo bad.)

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 1:59 am

Anyone get their limited edition yet? Does it rock the block or deffinately not?

Got mine like 19 hours ago but I didn't had time to play it, plus I need to get out my old dreamcast and all lol

elbarto · Post by **elbarto** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:30 pm

My ltd. ed arrived this morning, and it doesn't work.. makes the long wait even better

I've got a (modded) Japanese machine from the first batch produced, which has no problems reading other CD-Rs, but it won't recognise this disc at all, not even as a music disc.
Oddly, iTunes does read it as a music CD on my PC.

gah.

My limited edition isn't here yet but I've had an evaluation copy since the standard version was released. I can tell you that it certainly does not rock the block. It's not completely dreadful, but it's just not that good either. Below average best describes it.

You just don't understand it's concept. Speaking of that, why didn't we hear anymore from RHE?

I've got a modded japanese unit from the 1st batch released and it works ok.. the reg edition does anyways.

So, are there any differences between the normal edition and the limited edition? Has the limited edition been improved or is it just the same?

The Ltd Edition comes in a double jewel case with a super special magical 'vinyl cd' soundtrack. Other than that, the game itself is no different. No idea if the cover art differs?

Need to go pick my LE up from post depot. It arrived on Saturday morning, and I went and got absolutely trolleyed Friday night so I missed the Postie. D'oh.

Inland Knights FTW!

NAVVARR · Post by **NAVVARR** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:45 am

cheers- i got the original of ebay coz i was realy keen to play this- esp after the delays.

I'd ordered the LE and never cancelled it- so i've a mint unopened copy to hold on to whilst i play the normal one.
