No, that's what you would call a de minimis expense since a typical home computer only costs 3-4 cents per hour to operate. I don't stress about pennies, but I certainly think about dollars when it comes to determining if something is or isn't a "deal" and what something has really cost me.

I'm confused I thought they only made like 750-1,000 of these.

Did they produce more or something? I thought this was only a pre-order deal.

Just think of all the money you've lost by posting this.

No, with the delays some people cancelled and this is what is left after the last round of cancellations.

No, they have a history of not reselling any of the OSTs with the previous DJ MAX LE games.

I ended up buying the standard edition (to support Pentavision mostly) as well as a digital copy to play. Dunno whether or not to go for the LE one when they pop up. The soundtrack sure would be nice.

I'm sure he's keeping track of his time spent on CAG and allocates it appropriately across his gaming purchases.

Oh my gracious, I did not expect my comment to start a debate. Basically, I got an eBay gift card for my birthday last year. I decided this was as good a thing as any to use it on. I could have waited for a restock or tried to find it on Craigslist, but my gift card would not have been good there and I ended up paying out of pocket less than msrp.

As for the guy who is saying you pay for gifts by giving other people gifts, therefore no gifts are gifts...that is stupid.

That's not what I said at all. What I said is that gifts have a financial value and aren't "free money" unless you literally find them in the street somewhere. Somebody paid for that gift card and more likely than not, you will be reciprocating that gift down the road to that person. Whether you want to admit it or not, if you skip giving that person a gift on their next birthday, chances are you aren't going to get one the next time you have a birthday. It doesn't make the gift any less heartfelt or nice, but the reality is that people engage in social behaviors like gift giving in a certain way and at least among adults, there is an expectation of reciprocation.

You paid more than MSRP, you just did so using some cash out of pocket and a gift card. You can justify it any way you want, but you gave up cash and an item that was worth almost it's face value in cash in exchange for the game. As such, you didn't get a deal, you just didn't use as much cash as perhaps you would have had you purchased the game in another way.

You must be fun at parties.

I was hoping to snag one of these when they go back up, but they just have to go live when I'll be on a plane. Oh well... their site will probably crash while people are reloading anyway.

They are selling the ones that were cancelled. This is crazy limited and this will be the last chance to get one of the BEST CE made IMO. This CE screams "QUALITY".

@ Dr. Claw
As far as I know you can't tell the future. Going the eBay route to get this CE wasn't bad since you only had to pull a little bit of money out of pocket. As far as I know there wasn't going to be a specific date to sell the cancelled orders so you didn't know.

I saw your pics of your collection and the DJ Max Technika Tune CE stuck out in all your pictures. Everybody I know that bought this CE has no regrets.

We need more quality CE like this from other companies.

@ Vinny
Just make sure your at your computer @ Noon PST and you should be good. Just be quick cause who knows how many they have to sell. Good Luck getting one.

Um... I can't? Like I said, I'm going to be on a plane, flying back home. My plane doesn't land until 2PST, and I won't get home for another half hour or so.

You should just email them, they'd probably sell one to you if you just talk to them.

My bad misread your post. Well it took them longer than I thought to sell out initially. Hopefully after you land and get to check the site they won't be sold out.

I hope I didn't miss out on the leftover le's already. If it hasn't gone live yet it should shortly.

What link are you guys using to pick up the leftovers?

Also are they selling the extras seperately?

That's completely different from the extras in the LE. The soundtrack is also from a different game.

they're not selling any extras separately. it will go live on their "buy" page at the stated time

and i doubt there will be many available. last time it was around 46 or something
