Okay here's the skinny.

The only Console Couch section purchases that i have is Cyclonekid's Wii Component Cable. The rest are still not available, including my own Devil May Cry 4 Collector Edition.

I am heading to Paramus to another big mall there, and see if i could get the stuff there. I could be heading to Syracuse , that is an option as well. Otherwise ,heading to Manhattan on the 21st is still an option.

Miniacs, i have visited BHPhoto yesterday, i nearly fainted with all the cutting edge stuff they have there. They have ran out of the Panasonic DMP-BD30K, that purchase will either be in today's trip to Paramus, or tomorrow's trip to J&R at Ground Zero Lower Manhattan. Mpyw, your purchases are also either today or tomorrow. TripleB, your HDMI cable are also nowhere to be found, i've scoured 3 Gamestops. I'll look it up once we are in Paramus today.

For the others, here are the highlights:-

-Those who asked about Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, they have that in stock in Gamestop for USD34.99. Post HERE if you are interested to get it, i will pass you my bank-in details through PM, but only after i get bak tonight.
-One person asked about Persona 3 Guidebook, nope, no luck on that.

Corez, i've in touch with your contact in NY. I may be driving up to her place to get your stuff, or if that did not happen, we could drive up to Rockefeller and meet her there.

Still no news on the PerfectShots, Gamestop is not expecting them till next month. They do however have the GTA:IV Limited Edition bundle under a glass case for display, and the freebies are delicious!

More update later tonight guys.

Yesterday's haul:-

2xDevil May Cry PS3 Collector Edition for myself and Beat_boyz6, Lost Oddysey Xbox 360 US, Turok PS3 and TripleB's Xbox 360 HDMI cable.

Miniacs, i will be getting your Panny today from J&R, Mpyw.....i may have some bad news for you. Your Nyko Bluewave PS3 IR remote was not in the inventory at all when i was in Paramus yesterday, they have Best Buys and Circuit City there. Your Universal Remote is nowhere to be found as well. I am going to J&R in Ground Zero today, let's hope your items are available there. Otherwise, i will have to return you your funds, but i will only do that after im back in KL. I need a rest from all this crazy shopping run-arounds, im flying to Stockholm tonight(NY local time 2100), before touching down KL on 25th morning 0645.

Cyclonekid, your PerfectShots may also not be available, today's last chance shopping in Nintendo World Store, the Gamestop in Rockefeller and J&R in Ground Zero is the last hope of finding it there.

I have not receive or seen the post regarding those who wanted Advance Wars :Days of Ruin DS, so i assume the person is not interested. The other person who ask me to look for Persona 3 guidebook, im sorry they are nowhere to be found.

Added on February 22, 2008, 5:40 amOkay, final update.

There are a couple of bad news.

Miniacs, your Panny went out of stock, at both BHPhoto and J&R. I've looked at Best Buy, and they have the option of selling you one, but they need to get it out of the warehouse, and that would take another day, and there is a premium of USD50 above the price of J&R. Item went out of stock, i was told, because of the President Day Sale.

Mpyw, both your items are not available at all. Looked in Circuit City, Best Buys, even Datavision on 5th Avenue.

Cyclonekid, PerfectShots are not available everywhere. Nyko have not shipped it to any store at all. There are a couple of cheap imitations, but no PerfectShots in sight.

Final Purchase List, correct as of 00:00:00 on Saturday the 16th 2008:-

1 - Corez *special arrangement* <====Picked up.
2 - Miniacs 1 x Panasonic DMP-BD30K Blu-ray player Paid on 17:50:13 Tuesday 12th 2008<====Not available, will be refunded earliest 25th night.
3 - Beat_boyz6 1 x PS3 Devil May Cry 4 Collector Edition<====purchased.
4 - Cyclonekid 2 x Nyko PerfectShot & 1 x Wii Component Cable Paid on 19:35:20 Friday 15th 2008<====PerfectShots not available, Wii Component Cable purchased.
5 - Mpyw 1 x Univeral Remote MasterControl PowerPak Combo & 1 x Nyko PS3 IR Remote Paid on 19:28:43 Monday 11th 2008<====Not available, will be refunded earliest 25th night.
6 - TripleB 1 x Xbox 360 HDMI Cable Paid on 19:59:22 Tuesday 12th 2008<====Purchased


For those items i could not find, your refund is coming. I need to get back home and do this, so it will only come by the 25th night at the earliest. Others who have their items purchased, i will finalise the receipt and will provide you the equivalent price in RM, as dictated by Maybank2U. Since such is the case, i will either adjust up or down from the amount you have banked in to me, i will require that amount credited to me before i pass you your purchases. I am not the bank, I do not provide funding.

Okay, Corez's done. Beat_Boyz's done. TripleB's done. Mpyw, i refunded your cash back in. Miniacs, we proceed as planned. Cyclonekid, half-done, the other half, i keep to your plans. Im not sure if i should close this thread and keep in touch with Miniacs & Cyclonekid personally, dont wanna keep bumping this up.

Miniacs, are you okay if we keep in touch via either PM, or cellphone/text message? I'm sure Cyclonekid's okay with calling/texting ,been doing that since already.
