Did that happen when you ordered with NCSX? I thought NCSX deals with all that customs business.

nope, from HMV.co.jp, also FedEx was the carrier and it was also held in Alaska customs.

So I chose UPS 2nd Day Air from NCSX, which was probably the most retarded thing to do.

I'm getting it Monday and wasting fast shipping time aren't I D:.

Nah, there're plenty of bundle pics online already, you can look at them.

I'd only open it if I bought another one or I can get it signed by Nomura.:lol

My order is in Louisville too. Should get it tomorrow then, since I'm not all that far away :D

My Cloud PS3 still hasn't shipped yet though.

Ya I'm in IL, which isn't that far from there, but I'm not expecting it till tomorrow.

Though the UPS site sez it was in KY at 20:00. I don't know if that's HK time or US time...

After watching the videos, I get an eerily impression of Final Fantasy XIII resembling Final Fantasy VII except that it's set in a bizzarro world of sorts, largely cause everything seems in tact in terms of atmospheric elements, except that it's a world which is diametrically opposed to the one we're familiar with in FF7.

You have a lead protagonist wielding the buster sword of femininity, that doesn't have much to say apart from the cool or hot-headed one-liners, except now it's a girl and she's got flat hair instead of the spikey-doo.

A black character returns, and the bizzarro version of Barret couldn't be more glaringly obvious. Barret has the shaved crew cut, new guy has an Afro (with complimentary chocobo); Barret is an ultra-muscular dude with He-Man sized proportions, new guy is a tall wimpy figure disco jiving his way through combat; Barret wants to fuck shit up, new guy seems cowardly and avoids fights when possible; Barret wears cloths straight out of the slums with a bare-chested open vest, new guy is dressed in color coordinated threads like a hippie from the future (not a patch or tear in the clothing in sight).

I'm really looking forward to this, the load times between battles are brisk and seamless, the graphics are jaw droppingly gorgeous and the action seems intense right from the start. CANT WAIT! :D

I mean that in the sense that there's no culture -- good or bad -- in the midwest. There's a lot of good (along with the crap) on the coasts. Anyhow, really just a joke. :)

On topic: thanks for uploading the demo vids on gamersyde, Blim and co.

different carrier right? she used FedEx
Click to expand...

Which is odd because I used FedEx as well and everything went smoothly. I have an irrational hate of UPS so I try and steer clear of them when I can.

He meant to say "values." I remember I went to Michigan once and it was such an interesting experience. People were so nice and didn't treat me like a martian just because I was and L.A. "boy" (unlike people in Kansas).
