Post by: Bildi on February 03, 2009, 01:40:58 AM: DVDCrave may come up with the goods on this which might help for overseas people. I preordered Dead Space through them totally unaware that there was a preorder bonus, and a week after getting the game I got another package from DVDCrave with an artbook.

I'd be happy to help if you have trouble getting it Scenester, like buying it and sending it on or whatever.

Post by: The Sceneman on February 04, 2009, 12:38:55 AM: Scenester's quest for the best record ever: Day 2 - the update

Okay I called up JB Hifi here in Wellington, they didnt know jack about this item.

I have sent an email to the online orders department in Aussie to see if they can tell me if this shit will get to NZ, or If they'll ship to me. I asked them to "reply ASAP" so I can figure out my plan of action. Once I hear back from them, I may need to PM you Bildi, for your work address so I can ship that shit there. I'll put something else in the order for your troubles (most likely Steven Segal DVD)

Post by: The Sceneman on February 04, 2009, 12:41:29 AM: also I was thinking about this thing all day today at work, I couldnt even concentrate and shit. I was fantasising about 'spinning' the disc in front of several extra hot babes. My dick hasnt been this hard for anything since that time I had sex with that woman

Title: Re: Australians to get Mega Drive music Vinyl
Post by: Bildi on February 26, 2009, 10:35:03 PM: Mine just arrived. :hyper

I must say, I'm a little disappointed at the LP physically. It has no plastic slip, and mine has some scuff marks on one side which will affect two of the songs. There's four main scuff marks that each go across maybe 20-30 needle tracks. I doubt those tracks will play very well at all.

I can also see faint markings running horizontally across the disk (of which the scuff marks are a part) which would appear to be from a conveyor belt or something that the LP must have run along.

Frankly, whoever manufactured the LP sucks. :(
Title: Re: Australians to get Mega Drive music Vinyl
Post by: The Sceneman on February 27, 2009, 05:14:24 PM: that sucks man :(

well I picked mine up yesterday and its in mint condition... no inner record slip sucks.... I might pull one off one of my 100's of shithouse LPs... I was going to throw my copy of Changes in the bin anyways. Fuck I hate David Bowie

anyways listened to it twice last night. Its pretty fucking spectacular, even if the track selecion was a bit off... sort of. The complilation has a logical flow to the music and most of it is 'club friendly' if that makes sense. Still, wouldve preferred Green Hill Zone or some banging Streets of Rage track instead of the Vectorman stuff, but oh well. Turtle Village sounds really fucking good in full stereo.

Im really stoked about having one of these and it will defintely get a lot of play at parties! Havent tried mixing it yet but might have a play around today.

As for the actual game, well my 360 is getting fixed so cant play it for a couple of weeks :( life without 360 sucks!
Title: Re: Australians to get Mega Drive music Vinyl
Post by: Bildi on February 28, 2009, 03:16:35 AM: I don't have a record player here to listen to it. Have to wait until I go to mum's place. Maybe it'll play OK.

Goddammit, Flicky is awesomesauce.
