EB Games has Death Jr. Limited Edition listed on their Web site now. Here's the link:

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255632.asp

I'd like to know why this is being called "Limited Edition," especially since there doesn't seem to be another version (for now) that's not the "Limited Edition." The price seems to be the same as before.

Is there going to be some sort of bonus included, that won't be offered with later production runs of this game? I know some "Limited Editions" are merely fancy packaging changes, but some have also had a substantial amount of additional content (such as bonus video footage, or extra levels or items within the game itself).

 

[Andy787]

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing.

I hope this game turns out good, I like the theme/premise.

 

[Tarazet]

The box art is different.

 

[Suikoguy]

Its also a far BETTER boxart

 

[Reilly]

yeah, that black boxart is better and better be the real boxart.

 

[Timo]

i like the non limited editions box art better. loads.

 

[Andy787]

yeah, that black boxart is better and better be the real boxart.

Agreed. The other one doesn't even look like a boxart, just a piece of game art and a logo thrown on a blank page.

 

[Wario64]

they've changed the boxart like 3 times...

 

[ProgramFighter]

I really, really hope this game is good. It is one of the games I have been looking forward to on PSP since like the beginning.

 

[Kleegamefan]

This was the first ever PSP game shown, right??

GDC 2004, I believe....

 

[ProgramFighter]

Yea, I believe it was.

 

[sammy]

hell, they're both damn nice

 

[Barry Lightning]

that cover art looks great

 

[Madame M]

I will buy a PSP when that sexy white one comes out.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

sounds like this game is shaping up well
Sony I want my WHITE PSP

The EB Games page for Death Jr. Limited Edition has been updated. The "Limited Edition" package includes two Death Jr. branded UMD cases, and exclusive Death Jr. digital comic and soundtrack on CD-ROM. The digital comic and soundtrack can be transferred to a Memory Stick so you can enjoy them on your PSP.

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

I'm going to pre-order this shit so I get the LE.

 

[Wario64]

has anyone played this game? good? bad?

that's some awesome bonus.

i preordered in store...the receit says death jr. LE too so hopefully i'll get all the stuff as well.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Yea, I'd like to hear more. The screens and such I've seen aren't enough to get me excited to get a LE edition. What seperates this from a basic 3D platformer?

 

[TheDiave]

"ATTA BOY, TIGER!" :lol

They should use that cover!

 

[Straightballin]

Sony I want my WHITE PSP

The next one coming out if any would probably be silver unless they come out with a bunch of colors at once. The reason would be they decided on the ps3 to be silver and they would probably want it to match it.

i was really looking forward to Death JR, until i saw the egm scores. too bad the game (supposedly) sucks.

as good as it is, i'm so sick of playing Lumines -- the only psp game i have (got it at launch).

it seems that the next great psp game -- Namco Museum(?), GTA: LCS -- is a long way off.

i'm so desperate for a new psp game. the only thing is... it's gotta be "AAA" quality -- lots of replay value.

very f*cking frustrating.

Don't like Ridge Racer? That's easily AAA with replay value out the ass.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

EGM gave it pretty harsh reviews, but they seem to hate handhelds as of late. I'll wait for more reviews to come in.

 

[Drinky Crow]

The DS kinda makes folks hate handhelds and gaming in general.

There are a few more AAA quality games on PSP that you should consider purchasing in the meantime like Ridge Racer, Hot Shots Golf Open Tee, and Wipeout Pure.

 

[Shawn]

eh, arcade-style racers are not my thing. golf? no thanks.

Well, generally speaking...there are exceptions of course.

They liked Kirby, Meteos, Advance Wars & Bomberman (except for that one 'tard in that case...).

 

[MarkMacD]

Ah, well if these are exceptions you must have many more examples of good games getting bad scores then?

Yeah, Ping Pals was deserving of 8.0+ scores.

I'm not saying you guys underrate all handheld games. I used the words "seems like" because that's the general sentiment being tossed around.

 

[gamewhooper]

Yeah. Who the hell is a game reviewer and has been gaming that long but hasn't played a Bomberman game yet?

 

[MarkMacD]

Ah, I guess people expected Coded Arms and Death Jr. to get better reviews....I know I did....

 

[dark10x]

What's wrong with Death Jr. BTW? Any ideas? I mean, people were saying CA was crap from the get go...so it wasn't really suprising.
