Nah you're looking at it the wrong way. The $5 off the bundle is just a bonus for people who might prefer a discount. You're free to buy the individual games for $40 apiece, or not buy anything at all. The discount is a bonus, not "it should cost even less".

Doomstink already explained the reasoning behind the pricing in a previous post. The games were going to cost $35 apiece no matter what, so they found a way to add some value to that.

If it was just a good will gesture for buying both, then it would be a nice gesture. But given that it's taking off a soundtrack, that's why it should be less.

Wait is the bundle getting two manuals?  Was just going to order and notice the picture for the bundle has two of them pictured and actually says 'manuals' as in plural.  I thought it was only getting one.  Did I miss something?

I'm assuming with nothing to back it up that the manual would be inside the game case and that if you're getting two games you should also get two manuals?

Well unless things have changed, at last I heard they couldn't make a manual in size to fit into the vita version case, since it going to be a special type. Also originally Doomstink said it be one booklet/manual in the dual platform bundle.

Makes sense, thanks.

How is this a better buy? A meager $5 saving but with one CD less?

https://www.limitedrungames.com/collections/games/products/preorder-skullgirls-2nd-encore-ps4-vita?variant=30783673603

If you're planning to buy both, PS4 and Vita, like I am, isn't it a better deal to buy them separately than the combined bundle? Yes, it's $5 more, but you're getting two music CD with jewel case (which worth $15 using the LRG price point). I think the bundle should be $14.99 less, it's fair price that way.

That's not a fair price by our standard model. Our releases are priced at $10 over the digital price tag with a minimum physical price of $24.99. Skullgirls is $24.99 digitally so we would charge $34.99 with no extras. The soundtrack is a $5 add in this case.

They're doing a Vita sized manual now. Plans changed. :)
 
Just going to make this very, very, clear: the games were set to cost $34.99 with no soundtrack or slipcover. The soundtrack is not valued at $10 or $15, it is literally a $5 additional value. The dual pack exists because many people expressed that they neither wanted nor needed two of the same soundtracks. We discounted the bundle by the actual value of the missing soundtrack.

Awesome, and yay vita manual!

 
notaxation said:
Nice. I look forward to seeing some more $5 soundtracks in the future then.

If they're offered standard with the game, that would be the case. This isn't something I would push for as it seems to be backfiring far more than helping. As I somewhat expected, only a handful of people really want a soundtrack and the higher price point it's caused may be keeping some from buying. If a dev requests it, as happened in this case, we'll likely oblige but this won't be a super common occurrence.

For some unnecessary side info:

The standalone soundtracks we usually sell require special contracts, most often with the musicians themselves rather than the developers. The higher price point on those is to make the musician or licensee a decent return. For a lot of these folks, the extra influx of money from these soundtracks helps *a lot* (for reference, we pay out $10 or more per soundtrack sold).

So does that mean the Vita copy will have the manual inside the case? And if yes, I would assuming someone that bought the bundled would get 2x manuals (both inside the respective release cases)?

 
Hey Doomstink, I'm planning on pre-ordering the PS4 skullgirls copy. Think you could ask Lab Zero if they could get Zone-sama to sign my copy? She did some work on the Skull-girls animations and I think she works there full time for their new game indivisible. Now before you say no, what if I told you, "please". I was told it was the magic word.

 
Hey Doomstink,

I know it's a different company but I noticed NISA's CE for The Silver Case comes with the physical artbook and a poster. Are you guys going to be able to add those (or at the least the art book) or are you still just planning to include the smaller comic instead? Or are they actually just one in the same (artbook and comic). Seeing these two different editions seemingly being very similar but slightly off has me rather confused. Also mind sharing what the rough number of orders was for TSC. Playing through my digital copy now and I'm loving it so I don't regret getting in on this edition at all :)

We've had an artbook from the start. I don't believe we have the poster, though.

 
We've sold an additional 45 copies outside of the site to a few mom and pop shops. Working on some deals with other mom and pops which will likely move another 300 - 400 units. Every bit helps as we inch towards the 10K goal. I expect a lot will sell on the 11th with Volume and quite a few will sell on the 14th as preorders close.

 
Wow. The move of Volume to the 11th makes this tight for me. I have a flight that day, though I think I'll still be able to get my copy in.

 
Doomstink said:
It's one shipping charge but nothing ships until everything is ready. If you buy Volume and Skullgirls together, you'll be waiting until January/February to receive Volume.

Hi dunno if you can comment at all, but is there any chance that LRG will have some leftover copies of Shantae to take to PSX to sell to those of us who are attending and didn't get their order in?

Yep, we've got a small amount of copies left that are being divided between Black Friday and PSX. We've also got another neat surprise in store for PSX!

 
Psx? As in the ps event i bet that will be vr focused seeing how thats their new baby. Ps vita is done though I doubt anymore revisions will be released
 
Thank you Doomstink for the Vita manual update and as well as the $5 music CD explanation, it makes sense now.  Question, is there a list of games and quantity available for Black Friday?

I would also really like to know this. Also I'd like to know the manor in which the games will be going up if it isn't too early to talk about, thanks.

 
Don't know exact quantities but could give you an idea if you can name particular titles.

Most games will be a free for all so the lower quantities will fly, but we'll have "mystery gift" games available all day that will be blind boxed/wrapped games sold per platform. You'd stand a chance to get any of the games we released from Breach & Clear onward. For the super in demand titles, those are being pulled from our private stash of remaining inventory.

I'm mostly just looking for the two Shantae games and maybe either vita or ps4 version of Oddworld.

I still can't believe I missed both the morning and afternoon listings of Shantae. It was a super hectic and stressful day at work.

Looks like LRG got their shipment of Volume yesterday. Really puzzled as to why they delayed the release until the 11th.

Had no idea these titles were coming to Vita. Thank you, will keep an eye out in coming months.

Havent been paying attention with the BF sale its old releases correct? Nothing new?
 
Is Volume just an inferior ripoff of Monaco?  Is there anything special in the game Volume that is not in Monaco?  Only asking because Monaco is one of my favorite games, and Volume looks awfully similar.

I don't think Monaco is on the Vita. I'm wondering whether to get Volume or try CounterSpy.

I loved Counter Spy, but the Vita version is buggy as hell, and the load times or about the longest I've seen in a good long while. Game was great fun, but if you have an Android device, get it there, as it runs great(At least on my Shield Portable it did).

Moving offices, still shipping Shantae, and too little time to prepack Volume. It just made sense when we had nothing on the 11th.

We'll probably have about 150 of each Shantae game. Won't last long but we will have them for sure. Oddworld will be possible only in the mystery game blind buy. With Futuridium and earlier we sold the vast majority of remaining inventory in a third sale, we only stopped doing that and waiting for Black Friday when we did Octodad in June.

hey doom,

Im really after SMRPG, Futuridium, and xeodrifter. Any idea on quanities there for BF?
Click to expand...
SMRPG and Futuridium will only be possible to get through the mystery game blind buy. We will have Xeodrifter available - about 100 for PS4 and probably 60 or so for Vita.
