I hope they never ever fire Masa-King. He's too amazing

It's $35 brand new from play-asia.com (free worldwide shipping). And it comes with MMP.

Exchange rates and custom fees kill us. We pay ~100 dollars for new PS3 games, and the minimum wage is roughly 500 dollars, to give you an idea of our salaries. A 360 costs ~$450, for you first world people complaining about the price of next gen consoles, haha. And with the strict controls over dollar exchange, you might end up paying even more than those numbers. It's not that easy to buy consoles and original games here.

It's $35, customs fees can't be that bad. Why are you guys bringing in PS3 games, minimum wage, next gen consoles, VAT, etc? Everything under the sun to justify not legally purchasing a game by a company struggling to stay alive. It's disheartening to see this on a forum devoted to "shmups".

[Hagane]

Maybe so you can see why it's much harder to get imported stuff here than in any developed country? It's not just $35, it's a lot more here and not everyone can afford it (if you can even get it through customs, just plainly importing anything is hard as hell lately).

Not to go too far off topic here, but I don't think people living in first world countries can really understand the position of people living in far poorer countries. The value of $100 to an American compared to someone living in a poorer country is vastly different. In some places that could be the equivalent of $1,000 to the average American with regards to how that money could be spent on daily nessecities in that country. What you are basically saying is that poorer countries don't deserve to experience and enjoy the games that our 'superior' rich nations do based solely on their country's inability to keep up with (or at a minimum avoid being taken advantage of by) the world economy. Even worse you are saying this while no doubt living your luxurious life at the expense of the excessively underpayed third world citizens who produce all of your clothing and likely also the plastic your expensive toys are printed on.

I think the average first world citizen has a duty to pay for these games and support the companies that create them, but our support should be more than enough to cover for the hard working people in less fortunate nations to be able to enjoy them too.

Pink Sweets for all the world's children!

So then might we then cry to get a maximum peaceful death final for Argentina, and if not then hey, don't ask them to cry for you.

Nonsense. BTW I am not american.

I said nothing of the sort. Don't put words in my mouth.

Are you on drugs?

[ACSeraph]

America is not the only place where you can find privileged people unable to understand the feelings of the less fortunate.

While my response to you may have been a little heavy handed, the fact is that these are issues that should be considered before chastising people for wanting to enjoy these games while not having the financial resources to buy the 360 ports. Let's leave it at that.

[n0rtygames]

Came to this thread hoping to see talk of the scoring system, or something to lure me in to playing Pink Sweets - a game I so desperately want to learn to love just as I did with MMP...

....and by page 2 it disintegrates in to bizzarro world cosplay videos and men dressed as.. whatever the fuck that reindeer thing is.

I love this forum

[KAI]

And I love the hate on this forum.
BTW, did you know this awo? Purchasing games that haven't been officially released on your territory is illegal. Am I wrong?

[spoot]

What in the name of fuck did I just watch? I think my eyes just tried to crawl outta my head.

[Shadowduel]

It's only illegal to sell 'em officialy but it's not like someone cares...

[jpj]

if import taxes are high that wouldn't stop you purchasing second-hand copies of games through our very own Trading Station from fellow forum members

Do I need to buy things to love them? The internet has taught me otherwise.

companies who make these games need people to buy them. if you love pink sweets and other cave games why would you choose not to support them?

[CStarFlare]

Support developers, buy used.

From where I come, Colombia, you can buy food for 1 week with 10-15 Euros, nuff said. Only one person though.

Import taxes apply to anything of value sent from one country to another. The only way they are avoided is if;

1)The item is below a specific value (which is unlikely for shmups)
2)You falsify the value on the declaration (illegal)
3)You mark it as a gift (again illegal, and sometimes even this doesn't work)
4)Customs happen to not inspect the parcel. My experience from dozens of imports is that the rate of inspection is low (for the UK at least) but this depends on the delivery service used. More premium, accountable services will be inspected with higher frequency, larger packages will be inspected more regularly.

I don't know where you are from, but in the UK, if the parcel is inspected I get charged 20% of the total value of the purchase (item+postage) plus an additional £8 as a fee from RoyalMail. Whilst our utility for money isn't quite comparable, if an Import costs me $90 including postage and it gets caught, I'm liable for the equivalent of an additional $30 odd dollars of tax which hurts. This is all on a product that I can't even buy in this country so the excuse of these taxes being in place to make the economy competitive against cheap imports is nonsense, but I digress.

In most European countries it's a similar story. Evidently south America is one of the worst places to be a gamer in terms of high RRP and import costs.

[jpj]

i looked up argentina import charges, and a copy of pink sweets brand new from play-asia without the value being marked down would cost you $42.70

can you not afford $42.70?

[KAI]

Need to buy a 360 first.

360 + PS + Dual Shock adapter = $500
I can't afford that right now.

[jpj]

cool

i don't have a 360 but from the vids i've seen it looks like a good port, hopefully you aren't waiting too long as i imagine it must be tons better than mame

Back on topic, I love Pink Sweets, and frankly, I'm surprised there isn't more cosplay, doujinshi, and in general, more artwork of all the 13 hotties in this game (I'm including Teresa even though she isn't in PS).

Bad marketing from Cave? nothing new, at least.

Deathsmiles is, maybe, the only Cave game that has produced popular characters afaik.

Whats the story of PS and Ibara anyway?
