:D :D :D

The quality of this game makes up for the fact that when I cancelled and tried to move my Borderlands PC pre-order to a GameStop that already had copies they told me there were no more I could get :(

Maybe I'll get Borderlands another day.

To go with my new PS3 this month, I took advantage of the Best Buy 2-for-1 and bought some red band games to catch up on what I've missed out on.

Are you from France? Amazon.fr seems to be the only online shop to have this game in stock. Gamestop Germany says the games does not have a date and all the UK shops don't have it either. Really strange release tactics.
Nope, Belgium, we have it in our store since a week or two...
 
Ordered this 28 inch monitor from Newegg... $309 shipped, its amazing. HDMI port and a beautiful picture. Dirt cheap for anyone looking to get a MASSIVE monitor at a great price. Also Forza 3

Yea boi! A serving of Bayonetta and some Chicken McNuggs for my lunch break. :D

Jealous!

I could not afford Bayonetta this week so I'll have to wait for the NA release. The Japanese boxart for the PS3 version is so hot.

Whut? :lol Totally understandable though.

But yeah, the boxart rules. I love working up the street from Japan Video Games.

Well, this month is pretty big as a whole with a lot of things dropping at the end of the month...gotta budget. Also, this week is Tekken Week so there is quite a bit of expense. Along with Sin and Punishment something had to give. Not sure if I'll even play T6 but I'm going to give a good honest Yes Boss! try.

As for Bayonetta I'm thinking I'll get the title sooner rather than later...maybe early december. I'm, like, one of the few who totally wants this for my PS3 rather than my 360. Love that boxart. So class with the blue Sega logo on the blue background.

Best Buy sale. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time is for me, and I got Muramasa & The Conduit for my brother. The Conduit was already on sale for $39.99. =)

I might have to go down there and get some more, sales ftw. First I did the Toys R Us sale and now the Best Buy sale :)

I thought the game is a January release for NA? Has that changed, or are you talking about importing in December?

Amazon still lists it as January.

Yeah,

I just want the pretty Japanese PS3 boxart...I'd import that in december since Spirit Tracks is the only game I'm getting that month. If the box art is not an issue you might as well wait for early january.

UPS man came.

Tekken games. The bundle actually comes with a pretty nice and high-quality artbook:

Tekken Stick. Pretty good quality for what it is. Nice flat and wide profile. Only doing the wireless for the 360 version, getting the HRAP for the PS3:

He probably means importing, since the games are not region locked and will probably have English in one of the versions.

Why do you have it for both 360 and PS3?

You mean the game? I buy fighting games for both systems since I've got sticks for both and I can choose what and how I play it for shits and giggles. Besides that, 360 version for achievement fun and a likely more robust experience and the Triple version since the original arcade game was based on Sony hardware (I believe).

How's the weight on the Tekken stick?

Very light and hollow feeling. Comparing it to the SE it seems excessively cheap. Still, the wireless is fun (and a bit of a trip!).

Also, stopped by DVD Planet on the way home from LA today and picked up Monsoon Wedding blu-ray. $6 cheaper at amazon but sometimes it is nice to slum it at a retailer:

The PS3 JP version is straight up full English. Didn't even have to mess with any options to do so. I just popped in the disc and english away!

If you can't wait, there's no real need to do so. :D

One of the last video games I'm allowed to buy:

Not a bad purchase either. The game is epic and the multiplayer is addicting.

I have two games left for the year. Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 unless another game blows my socks off.

I'm done for this month...except for some stuff that might arrive in the next few days from purchases last week.

Would you recommend Chinatown Wars for somebody who didn't really get into the DS game? I've been going back and forth on putting that on my Go over the last week. Perhaps giving it another shot.

It's basically the same game as the DS, but with much better presentation. I really tried to get into the game on DS, but I wasn't a fan of the touch screen segments. Instead of removing all the touch screen segments from the DS version (which I would have liked), they are replaced with button actions. The enhanced graphics has made the game easier to enjoy and makes navigating through Liberty City better for some who has played a lot of GTA IV.

If you already have it on DS, I would just saved the money. I needed something to play on Go and this was a good purchase for me.

Heck of a time getting Tekken 6, the Best Buy in my town never got any copies, so I had to drive an hour round trip to the next closed to take advantage of the B2G1. :(

My best buy let me buy one yesterday (Forza) and then come back today to pick up Ratchet (which they had) and GTA Stories which was not in stock but should have been and still take advantage of the deal.
