Just bought it for Easter holidays when I will have more time than usual
Bought a ton of games for the same reason.
Will be home all week next week since I took some vacation time.

I'm sure I had an image of the cover, it is buried on a hard drive somewhere though. This post suggests there was one seen in that thread but dead image urls etc...
IIRC it has a PEGI rating too. I know both of these don't mean anyone ever got a copy of it though.
505 Games (who published these) back in the old days did not exactly have traditional distribution channels and had no official release lists and as such many of their games are hard to find (it didn't help most of them were reamed simple 2000 games sold in bargain bins at supermarkets). Given they were based in Italy I would imagine that market is the one that got the most of their titles and is where you are most likely to find the GBA SRT games.
In light of that I would say importing was the right thing to do.
As for the games themselves, the only difference is the pre-title screen logos also have a 505 Games one.
Holy shit, you're quoting myself from 2007 and now I do recall seeing the cover but I never saw neither of them in a shop or in a photo until I found the first one in Ebay.

Well, it's not a Lamborgini, but I got the thing I want most this month
Some non-gaming related goods first, namely books and books.
Then, here is my most awaited pick-up since last month!
I actually panicked because I didn't find it in the game box first. My head then started assuming that bastards at the custom offices take it for themselves. I checked the packaging box, then found out that it was there all the time lol

My shelves couldn't even contain them all and I started putting them just there on the bed or on the floor lol

Fucking finally, my Dark Souls II CE have arrived from amazon uk! If only I knew that local store in my area stock some region 3 CE, I wouldn't have to wait for this long. Well at least I got the signatured metal plate from the director himself.

My cases arrived today, one for Vita and one for the 3DS. They are absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. I finally found cases I'm happy with.
Thanks again to fellow gaffer Vexxan for posting his VITA case earlier in the thread.

Thanks for the $13 copy of The Sky, Amazon! Though my size comparisons are getting a bit ridiculous now.

Well, it's no lambo, but I did get a pricey keychain.

That's right. Sorry, forgot the link in my post.

Wait, you actually bought the car or just the key chain?

Missing in photos: Diablo Reaper of Souls.
The Wii U Pro Controller feels amazing, really looking forward to using it for any Wii U games that support it. Bought the Apple keyboard so that I can better support a dual monitor setup and for not wearing out my Macbook keyboard from excessive gaming. Couldn't resist getting the Beast Wars figures when I heard they were being remade! Loved that show and the toys as a kid, but I am disappointed with how weak the joints are on them.

I stopped by a Hard off on the way back from work. I found 2 complete in box Samba de Amigo maracas controllers for Dreamcast in the junk section. I took achance and lucked out. They worked just fine when I played with them at home.
I only picked up one but I might go back tomorrow just to rescue the other. I already owned 2 other complete sets but for 324 yen I couldn't resist. Maybe I'll sell one off when I visit the US later this year...

I was going to say "More pickups than a Lamborghini's trunk can hold!" but sadly even that isn't true... ;-(
- couple of Wii U games: Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- couple of MSX games: Fray: In Magical Adventure (MSX2 version), Hydlide, Dragon Quest 2, Kenja no Ishi, Dragon Slayer, and AshGuine Story 2 and 3.
- The Revenge of Shinobi and Silent Hill 4: The Room
- and finally some Vita love with Toukiden: The Age of Demons, Ys: Memories of Celceta and Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
Currently playing Danganronpa. It's... intriguing.

Nicely done. If I had the money, I'd buy one too. Can you post pics of it, please?The car
EDIT: This month's thread really makes me wish I held on to my N64.
Gona enjoy going through these over Easter weekend.
Thanks for the info, I'll have to keep an eye out.

Congrats on the baby and the dog! That's mighty brave of you to deal with a new dog AND a new baby at the same time. I am scared, but a little happy for you.
Sure, once the car gets here. Looks like car won't be ready till early May, so will probably post in next month's pick-up thread. The wait is the most excruciating pre-order wait ever.

Wow, congrats! Lots of huge pickups this month from everyone. Economy is looking up? =D

Not easy at all... but the puppy if fairly smart. Potty training has been decent (at least for a puppy).. .the good thing is that she has 2 other older dogs to keep her busy so we can focus on the baby!

Nothing fancy, just a pair of shoes. Took a quick pic with my phone at work.
