Its a real point of shame for me.
See, there was this one backpack trip i took to Japan in April '07 for the cherry blossoms.
And one of my friends, brought his laptop to carry his travel data (he planned it see?), but he also used it to hasut me to watch Nodame and Lucky Star on his laptop.
As luck would have it, the last few days of the trip, they debuted the Nodame Cantabile game. TV ads blaring, little flash demos on the PC, special gift nodame bag.
Er. i think i paid 3000 yen for the thing. kicking myself when i found how dumb the game was, biting myself when another blogger that visited japan 2 weeks later showed the price was now down to 1400 yen.

At least i got the little bag..... (size of a pencil case).
Yeah. At least you got the little bag. Collectible item

Its zorocaster. He buys 2nd hand and he waits for good deals for games.
He seldom rush in and buy the moment its released. And not to mention, PA affiliate has been kind to him.

Goes to show, if you want to go ori, you can.
Hehe. I don't see the point of rushing in to get the game at first release. Not like it's gonna be sold out anyways (not in this day and age), and once you finish it...then what?
Wait a few months, see the game in the bargain bin and get it for less than a third of its original selling price. Or wait for someone to sell it 2ndhand. That way, for the price of one brand new, just released game, you can get 2-3 games.
