Yeah, they could at least keep them off the limited editions...

The thing is, the Limited Editions ALWAYS have them, no matter where you are in Europe; Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germay etc., because they (Sony, Nintendo, MS) only make ONE version for Europe.

Welcome to the club! :D

It's even more than Viewtiful, it's Wonderful!!!

Hahahaha. D'oh how silly of me.

It's one of the few games as a lefty that feels better suited for the freaks of nature that we are. Due to using the stylus (or finger) in my dominant hand and having the buttons under my right makes the controls a breeze.

Yeah it's sadly a bit of a theme for Nintendo published Special Eds in Europe. I mean just look at this mess.

What's worse is that despite having big clear rating logos on the packaged box, every game contained within also has them on as well. I understand it's cheaper and easier that way but come on.

And they're always marked "not to be sold separately" so why do they even need ratings on the actual game case at all? It's mind numbing. I hate the USK so much. Next to games in Germany being overpriced, it's the main reason I don't buy games here anymore. Those logos are disgusting. They used to be almost less intrusive than PEGI logos but now they're ridiculous.
 
I do not shop at gamestop nor EBgames but i went to pick up my first pre-order in years from that place. maybe 7 years

But that's in the past, hopefully never again.

But.. but... they're just protecting German children from those horrible video games... ;-)

Sadly they only do video games. Imagine those logos on film posters. Or on billboards in the streets. :)

I was at the dentist's a few months ago,

and this lady was talkin to the front desk and whatnot,

when she leaves the guy goes to his colleague and is like

"yeay so that lady was in the original Power Rangers! she played Alpha the robot"

and I'm sitting there waiting n staring at my iphone like

"fuuuuuu why didnt u say that while she was still in the building!!!!!"

>_< woulda been a great photo op lol.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Mad jelly of all the Ganondorf figures. It baffles me that Nintendo finally puts out something on Wii U that people are interested in and what do they do? Make sure its next to impossible to buy.

This might be my first (or second) time posting in Pick-Up post, but here are the goodies:

My 2009 Macbook Pro died after using it for few months straight to train SVMs.
Here's my new Macbook Air 11 inch, this thing is small !

It's really thin !

I've never played other Kingdom Hearts game besides Birth By Sleep (I skipped PS2 gen, busy working)

The artbook is kinda sparse

My Sennheiser in ear earphone ain't working properly anymore, the cable connector seems to be too loose, so I decided to splurge on a better headphone. This is Sony MDR1-RBT, bluetooth headphone, still waiting for burn-in

No cable, quite a change, works with my iPhone and Macbook

Plus, I completed my Master degree at TUM (Technical University of Munich), I might not be smartest nor the most hardworking student, but I'm pretty okay with my grades. Coming from South East Asia, there's a lot of difference in education and lifestyle here. Hopefully I can find a job here in Germany.

I can't believe I found it, been bitter about missing out getting the Big Daddy figurerine. Found it randomly in a local Music Store of all places. Had to pay 30 euros for it but they were asking 66 euros for it first.o_O


Also I am kind of jelous of you all with the Wind Waker HD collectors edition, tried to find it locally but no luck and all online stores in Finland are sold out. It will be mine some day!:D

So someone rang me out of the bed this morning. But my slight anger vanished when I saw the mailman handing me over my new IEM's.





Together with my new DX50 I posted earlier:


Their are both running now to let them break in. But so far I am very satisfied with the sound of both.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Madoka vol. 2 and Toradora vol. 1 (missed Spice And Wolf vol. 2 - there's already vol. 3, so I'll have to look for the previous one). With some sweets as a bonus. Also not pictured - 2 pairs of jeans, but nothing really interesting or fancy.

@Up: Jelly. Maybe I'm not an IEM person, but that DX50 looks really nice...

You're gonna love and hate carrying this thing around. Love because it's so light and you barely notice it's there and hate because it's so light and you barely notice it's there ;).
Even with the 13" I find myself sometimes being panicked for a sec because I worry that my MBA is gone, lol.

Also, Bluetooth headphones are so liberating! I have two headphones myself, and the sound of my "high end" headphones is better than that of my AKG K830BT, yet I use my Bluetooth one more outside the house. So convenient to grab out of/put in a bag, no cable to annoy you, etc.

Great pick-ups :)

I can feel with you, although it has nothing to do with gamestop in my case. I also preordered at my local game store. Then he called me on the release day and told me that he wont't get a single LE because his order was canceled. Hopefully I manage to get my hands on this LE somday :/

Holy crap, total surprise delivery. Shipped on Tuesday from thehut.com. Arrived today (Germany) and we even had a national Holiday in between. I didn't expect this before next Tuesday at the earliest. Wow wow wow! Weekend is saved!

Another one for the collection. And I'm finally able to track down an open bug in ScummVM that's exclusive to this version of the game.

I agree.

But it's also the fault of Nintendo. They could use stickers for those boxes (and they could also just produce those ugly ones for Germany and produce different ones for the rest...).

It looks brand new... :)

They could also move the logo to the back of the box. Less pricey for them and less intrusive to the customer.

No, they have to be on the front. Believe it or not, back in the early days, USK logos actually USED to be on the back (or on the side for big box PC games) before all these suicide shootings and media drama pointing the finger towards video games. Then they were moved to the front and then in 2009 they made them HUGE until they realized they were butt ugly and changed their design to the mildly less offensive ones we have now.

Just be glad they don't look like this anymore:
