plz correct me if i am wrong

[stryc9]

Yeah but only the standard edition.

The LE is still tagged as 'soon'.

[ancestral-knowledge]

no i think it's the LE.. order just went through

[DrTrouserPlank]

Prices are getting pretty stupid. If that gets caught for VAT and handling it's another £26 to pay as well..

[BPzeBanshee]

$285 US? This sums up my reaction perfectly.

[ancestral-knowledge]

please notice that i ordered 2

[BPzeBanshee]

......and then I walked off a cliffedge TRON-style. YOURAAAAAAAA-*crack*

[stryc9]

Whoops! yeah your right I just put my order thru.

I hope the DLC card is packed in with this. I really do.

Wow. Play-Asia prices are ridiculous. The SE is OKAY on the pricing, but the LE is crazy. $143 USD BEFORE SHIPPING. AmiAmi comes in at about $94 before shipping on the LE.

Come on now. I know Play-Asia to be a trust worthy site, but that's just uncalled for. For two copies they are paying an extra $90 - $100. In what world is that worth it?

Wow... I'm shocked too...

any reason why its that crazy?

[kid aphex]

It's interesting that you can comment on Play-Asia's product pages. I did so, re: the price. I wonder if they'll respond or delete it.
NCSX prices are up there also.

[Bee Cool]

Sounds great, thanks guys!

This guy lost me as a Customer a few Years ago after the stunt he pulled. I have heard a few People state similar experiences with VGI.

You mean Lee? I'd be interested in hearing your side of things - he's always been 100% trustworthy in my experience, and a great guy to deal with generally. Even insisted I raise my asking price when I traded a rare game in to them.

LE is up at PA (affiliate link^^^)

139. 50$ more for a CD is just too much.

I like the SE cover more anyway.

[Bee Cool]

Pervert!

[Kollision]

It's puzzling how much cheaper amiami is.
For Mushi LE it's roughly a U$40 difference from NCSX, cheapest shipping included.

[Vyxx]

no i think it's the LE.. order just went through

Wow.... why not buy an Ibara PCB and even save some cash?

[DrTrouserPlank]

Two new listings for DFK here now. Looks like Black label is getting a platinum release on April 26th.

along with a bundle listing which presumably includes 1.5 and BL in one package.

Time to resurrect this thread... NCS had this to say about Mushihimesama HD yesterday (Monday):

Some of our Japanese vendors have shipped the regular and limited editions of Mushihimesama HD last night and we should receive the first batches tomorrow. We should be able to process and ship approximately 60% of our reservations tomorrow, another 30% by Wednesday, and the remainder on Thursday. Reservations will be processed in the order they were received.

There's a chance we'll be able to process the bulk of our preorders tomorrow if everything arrives but the 60/30/10 shipment allocation is our attempt at being conservative on the possibility of shipments being delayed due to inclement weather, acts of God, and other nettlesome events.

Please note that NCS will begin processing transactions for Mushihimesama HD later this afternoon so we can alert customers if there are any billing issues before preorders ship tomorrow.

EDIT: And an update today (Tuesday):

The first batches of Mushihimesama HD have arrived and roughly 80% of our preorders will ship today. The remaining shipments should arrive by tomorrow or Thursday and the remaining 20% of our preorders and new orders will ship in the next 1-2 days.

EDIT2: Mine has shipped~

[drunkninja24]

Yep, looks like my Mushi HD preorder from Solaris shipped today. Can't wait

[Jeneki]

Egads, I forgot that was $106 after shipping. I feel like I just bought some long out of print PC Engine title.

[Bee Cool]

No news from AmiAmi on my end.

[burgerkingdiamond]

haven't heard from AmiAmi yet either

[DrTrouserPlank]

AmiAmi seem to leave it until pretty late. I'd expect emails to start arriving tomorrow

[BulletMagnet]

NCS says they've shipped mine, hopefully I'll get it a day or two earlier than usual.

Play-Asia is slipping.

[spineshark]

Yeah, I also ordered from NCS (bout a month ago) and mine's on its way too. Too bad some (good) things came up and I probably won't actually get to play my copy until the end of the summer since I don't have the money to spare for a J360 right now...

In the same boat... sold my J360 a while ago and looking to pick up another console later in the future.

[xbl0x180]

Hm. I wonder if I should spring for a copy just for the sake of completion...

[chempop]

I sprung for a copy for the sake of playing one of the best games ever made.

I should have mine tomorrow!

...and I have the day off!!!!!!!!
