Does it at least come with a full game? Or is it another "trial edition"?

Not sure, my copy shipped from Play Asia this morning. Sounds like Last Frontier is the same length as Trial Frontier. Keep an eye on Ami Ami for massive bomba drops in a month or two. I remember you could get the first Blu-ray hybrid release for like 3,000 yen.

Make sure it's not banned from Live or about ready to die. Seems too good to be true.

Groogrux · « **Reply #3189 on:** October 25, 2011, 12:13:12 AM »

Well, the pawn shop said the reason they were selling them that cheap is that the company isn't getting enough of them to make it worth it so they're getting out of them all together (like I said, it's a chain, so they have a pretty large inventory). Had a friend that bought his there a month ago for about the same price and hasn't had any problems out of it.

Also, if I create a new XBL id and pay for a gold membership, shouldn't that cancel out any bans the previous owner had (if they had any at all)?

Robo · « **Reply #3190 on:** October 25, 2011, 12:43:10 AM »

Unfortunately not. They ban the console ID.

Went to try out the Korg Monotribe, had considered buying one. Not so sure after trying it out though, a bit too barebones for the price. 8 step sequencer only and no control over the drum sounds is the killer for me. People are modding the shit out of this already but I'm not the kind of dood that rips out a soldering iron and goes loco with arduino stuff. So I just bought some new slipmats for my 1210:s.

Went to a small used bookstore on my way home from work, my gf had seen vinyl crates in there so I took a look. Had a fucking insane selection of great soul/funk/jazz stuff, original pressings all in good condition. Would have bought more if I had more money:

Elis Regina - "Vento de Maio", Brazil original, 1985
Elis Regina - "Elis", Brazil original, 1985
Pharcyde - "Labcabincalifornia", US gatefold promo (blue and red transparent vinyl)

Shopping with a friend in Nipponbashi/Den-Den Town today.

¥800, because it was being touted as teh awesomez.

¥1900, mainly because it's a friend's game.

¥1800, because I was listening to an old Penny-Arcade podcast, and Mike said it was entertaining and a little challenging.

Picked up that M83 album today since I recognized it- great stuff; never listened to them before but the bore USUALLY has good taste so I took a chance.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #3208 on:** November 03, 2011, 12:50:31 PM »

MAF, get the previous M83 album "Saturdays = Youth." You'll love it.

Also, pick up the two Pains of Being Pure at Heart albums.

Yeah, that song is either meant to be played:

OR
2) While you're on acid.

There's a good single album in HUWD, but a little too much filler for a double.

Uncharted 3 is a lot of fun despite all its flaws. UC2 is the better game by far, though.

Dance Central 2 is more of the same, now with 2P simultaneous play.

Otomedius showed up yesterday. The game has been delayed for months on end and I surprised when it showed up. Still does not compare to the old Parodius games and has way more slowdown than it should. Konami should have released this as an XBLA title...that's what it feels like. It's visually-improved over the original, but that's not really saying much. Can't complain for $13 I guess.

demi · « **Reply #3219 on:** November 05, 2011, 05:45:48 PM »

Picked up off CraigsList:

- Final Fantasy 12 CE
- Final Fantasy 4 DS
- Chrono Trigger DS
- TWEWY
- Strange Journey (w/ sleeve & CD)
- Kirby Super Star Ultra

For $40

I just bought this Kamandi pic from artist Tom Fowler:

Some process stuff here for the art nerds:
http://bigbugillustration.blogspot.com/2011/09/kamandi-searchdestroy-twartists.html

The inspiration was the Iggy and the Stooges track, 'Search and Destroy'. The lyrics fit the Kamandi story to an eerie degree. 'I am the World's Forgotten Boy'...

The lettered and colored version is cool as hell but it's digital-only:

More pics when it arrives and I get it framed etc. I'm asking him for a high-res version of the lettered/colored version so I can print it out and frame them side by side.

John Wall's new Reebok kicks. Got them for outdoors. They don't look great but they are really comfortable and have great cushioning.

Originally, I bought these Hyperfuses but they were too narrow for my feet so I returned them.

Oh, looks like there's a mess with PS3 LE availability so my Amazon order is in limbo.

Will wait and see if it ever ships I guess, since it's going for $120-150 on ebay.
