My pick-ups from the last two weeks (excluding anything I got through work).

Pic 01: Hakuoki limited edition + my new pink PSP-2000 I picked up earlier in the month in Osaka + Persona 2 character strap. Forget all of this Vita nonsense—OG PSP is where it's still at! *heh*

Pic 02: A majority of my purchases from my most recent Japan trip. You'll, uhhh, notice a certain pattern to some of the purchases if you know enough about various topics. *laughs* I found a section of a bookstore and went a little crazy. (And no, none of it is porn!) Covered-up PS2 game is Dance Summit 2001 (never tried it, and it was only 500 yen).

Pic 03: Just for fun, the chu-hi (type of Japanese alcohol) offerings I brought back. I'm a sucker for trying out different kinds of chu-hi.

What manga is that with the boy(?) holding a uniform?

 

[Noisepurge]

yesyesyes:

 

[Quick]

Damn all these Vita posts, colour me green with envy.

Can't pick one up until at least a couple more weeks (damn you, bills!).

 

[j0hnny_385]

holy shi**, so much VITA. Am I the only one who won't buy this? :/
awesome pickups folks!

 

[glaurung]

The amount of Vita in this thread is unbearable. I wish I had the money to cough up for a Vita this very day, but alas, no.

 

[LOVE & TRUTH]

What manga is that with the boy(?) holding a uniform?

"I want to become a girl".

 

[MoGamesXNA]

"I want to become a girl".

Happy Vita launch to all btw. The photo's are great, keep em' coming. It's good to see the platform getting some GAF love after all the pre-release bashing in the press it's received.

 

[The Bookerman]

Metal Gear Ray McFarlane model, man was this thing hard to find. Paid an arm and a leg for it on Ebay, and it arrived without the arms connected, but it was worth it

if I'm not mistaken, you had to buy the hole lot of Mcfarlane MGS figures to get RAY. Each action figure came with one part of the metal gear.

[bjaelke]

Picked up another 4 games today - should keep me busy for the next few months.

 

[Yes Boss!]

First of my Vita games arrived! Just now waiting for the system...maybe a week or two if mail cooperates.

 

[Hasemo]

I was trying to be strong, but failed. Nintendo, you win this time.

 

[Elginer]

New 22 inch Samsung 1080p LED monitor. This thing is BEAUTIFUL! Was originally 229. Was on sale during the weekend at 139 plus free shipping from Best Buy. 4 days later it went back up to 199.

Alice and MW2 from Amazon sale

New mouse pad

Reckoning

Also picked up Alan Wake's American Nightmare last night.

I'm a little more than what I would assume is half-way done with Enslaved, and SotD is on my to-buy list. Enslaved is great.

 

[MilkLizard]

Picked my Vita up today. Wonderful device.



Unfortunately there was no more 16GB card left. Guess I will import a 32GB one someday. Downloading a few demos now.

 

[tn2007]

My precious has finally arrived!!!

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

Must resist..... must wait for the ceramic white...!

[NeoRausch]

Holy packaging haul, Batman!

no wonder that this thing was so heavy!

EDIT: oh, and the "das keyboard professional S" underneath it is also from this month. a gift by my girlfriend.

If you exclude the USK logo.

 

[Tiduz]

and 16gb memory + Katamari

 

[mollipen]

I feel you man. It's a great game on console, but it looks so right with the vita.

I played a bit of Rayman on the Vita, and actually came away not liking the experience. With as gorgeous and detailed as the game is, I felt like a lot of that was lost being on a smaller screen—even with how beautiful the Vita's display is.

I think that's one game that I'd definitely play on a console instead.

 

[T.O.P]

 

[NeoRausch]

If you exclude the USK logo.

that's what the steelbook is for!

 

[Tomodachi]

I was gonna pass on The Last Story limited edition, I wanted to wait for Dolphin to support it. Then I saw your shots and sent my preorder to amazon uk. My wallet hates you guys

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Can I ask where you bought Hyperdimension Neptunia from to get the bonus artbook?

 

[oblo]

True that!

You've convinced me to import a pink psp...... or maybe get the lilac purple one.

 

[LiK]

Impulsive I guess

[angelfly]

FUUUUU

The Japanese Fragile Dreams Soundtrack does not feature opening nor credits song. I mean WTF. It seems that the only way to get those 2 was the *US/Canada* exclusive preorder bonus soundtrack CD (that did only feature 12 songs in total).

What were they thinking... Putting every song from the game on those 2 CDs, but for those 2 important ones. It seems the only way to get those otherwise in Japan is via iTunes store. Why - why - why.

EDIT: If anyone is interested in this: Just searched around. Those 2 songs were originally released on a single in Japan, but it was released digital only. Additionally there seems to be an album by singer Teshima Aoi released end of 2011 called "Collection Blue", that also features those 2 songs and this album seems to have been released on CD as well as digitally. It's available on yesasia.

 

[C.T.]

Sexy. I Might have to buy one myself.

[My Sedatives]

Takes more time to go to that site and type that in rather than just posting an answer.
