Spent part of my super bowl winnings on this. Gave my reg copy to my brother so we can do some coop.

You motherfucker!
I wanted that so much before it came out, but the 150 price tag was just too rich for me to shell out for a single release.
Cool stuff though. Never thought I'd see that on here.
Have yet to dig into the game myself. Just waiting for the mood to hit.

Hahaha. Yeah I think I said the same thing on here back when it came out, and opted for the standard. As dumb as it sounds I couldn't stop thinking about it when I played the game. So as soon as I got handed free money I bought. I figured it would be the only special release of an AC game we ever saw here in the states. I don't remember it being limited to 250 though, the Namco page says nothing about it. I think they only did that after so few people pre ordered it.

That was one of my thoughts too: it's the only Armored Core LE that's ever been released stateside, so I was really intent on getting it at first. Would have been nice. I wish they would have just skipped the figure in it though. I think that's what really shot the price up. I would have been good with just the art book and soundtrack, really, but I guess being as niche as AC is, they could only do one type of LE.
Oh well. You are now the subject of my envy, good sir.

Not trying to spam the thread with purchases, just wanted to show the box art for DanganRonpa. Also the first time I got a game from NIS within a week of release. They ship 2 day priority now

Yeah. Had it pre-ordered from NIS, most of their LE stuff is sold exclusively through their online store now. It's awesome cause it keeps the boxes from being branded with all the useless junk you get from retail stores, and they don't cost near as much. No charge from Paypal until shipping too. I just finished the prologue and the first chapter, shit is already crazy!

I need to try and get in to fighters. So many of them have lores and art styles that really interest me but I pass them up because I've never been much in to the fighter genre

I grew up playing the 2D fighters always on the gamepad and was never good at pulling off the complicated moves. Nowadays I've been playing exclusively on a fight stick and I'm able to pull of moves much more easily. So I recommend to invest in a good fight stick for these games (Hori).

Yeah, I feel the same way. Sometimes I just enjoy looking at 2-D sprites with the detailed backgrounds over a nice CRT display than playing the damn game. Plus it's hard-core yo.

Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion Xbox 360 Teen rated Disc.

I broke my disc via system tilt, so I had to go out and find the gettin more rare Teen rated disc.

For those who dont know, it was rebranded as Mature rated.

I also picked up DBZ Budokai HD Collection and DanceMasters.
