So, did you pick up We <3 Katamari yet?

You didn't know? You obviously don't really <3 Katamari.

Hell, I would have thought there would already be a 4 page thread with people talking about it by now.
 
All the usual places still show that it has a release date of 9/20/05. Interesting. Stores are closed by now though. More research to be done tomorrow.
 
This must've been the shipment that came in today while I was checking up on my schedule. I thought it was coming out when Indigo Prophecy was.

By the way, Gamestop's doing the 4 trade-ins (or more)/extra 40% thing again. :D

Thanks, that does look neat. I'll check out the local places tomorrow as well, hopefully I get lucky.

Why is EB still saying 9/20/2005?

I dunno, the ads all say 9/13 and then this happens, so I'm pretty confused.
 
Yeah, I picked it up two months ago. It's a pretty engrossing game and I'm sure everybody here will get a big kick out of it! :D

I might pick up the domestic version just so I don't have to put up with The King of All Cosmos' almost entirely Katakana-speech. That stuff grates on the eyes pretty quickly.
 
I think I solved the mystery! Someone at Namco played the Folgers game with the We <3 Katamari boxart.

"We've swapped the game manual art with the box cover art. Let's see if anyone notices."

Manual art > pile of dog shit > cover art
 
Since you all seem to love the manual art so much (it was the manual art for the Japanese version too, if anyone cares), you might want to check out these awesome wallpapers based on it:

So do we have a definitive answer about whether this is out early or not? If anyone did find it, where did you get it from?

well the person who got the early copy from the pic above got it from target...so that's probably the best place to check right now. im still thinking someone screwed up and put it on shelf early. katamari doesnt seem like a game to have an embargo though :P
 
Jinx just told me he bought a copy at the Target on Sepulveda Blvd in Manhattan Beach this morning. So yea, it's definitely out ...in places.
 
Hot Tip: Instead of asking the Target staff if they have "We Love Katamari" or "We Heart Katamari" or "We Less-Than-Three Katamari", give them the SKU number. It's easier for them to check the computers and ensures that you'll get accurate results when you call.

That SKU, by the way, is 207121493.

edit: Not that it did any good for my Target, as it was still a five minute process that involved calling a few different departments and still ended up with confused operator whose muttering of "we don't have it" sounded more like a question than a statement.
 
Just picked mine up in Mission Viejo, CA.

The box is still ugly but the manual and disc are absolute brilliance.
 
Bastards, the lot of you! Well, the lot of you that got it, that is.

Went to three stores today, none had it.
 
Alright, picked up my copy for $30. Damn you Namco. Still, the store had like 30 copies on the shelves and who knows how many they had out back.
 
Dammit, hit Target, TRU, Bestbuy, Walmart, Gamestop, and EB, no one had it :/. Would've been fantastic to have it for the weekend, since I'm assuming they don't get shipments on weekends (?).

And here are some pics. On that note, I need a new digital camera.

Box art
Disc and manual

Back of the box

Disc art and manual art are great. The box art sucks however. The game didn't have a security seal. Now to play.

You do realize that the fact that you took that picture with my post in frame as though to rub it in means you will be hunted down and I will proudly display your severed hand holding my new, slightly bloodified copy of we <3 katamari on my mantle, right?

Also, I may be the only person around who has no problem whatseover with the box art.
