I logged in just now just to agree with this. I browse without logging in if I get logged out, because I don't post that often. But to stay on topic, I'm hoping Best Buy keeps Bravely Default at $34 through Sunday at least so I can price match that, pick up Mists of Pandaria, and then find...

Any in Maryland have this?  I'm going to assume not since we usually don't, but figure it's worth asking.  And even if so, I guess I'd need to figure out how to actually get it since I'm not a member...

Thanks for the thorough unboxing Joe.  I think I'll skip the CE, since like Xiemos if I want a Milla figure that badly I'd pay the extra $30 and get the Alter figure or an Xillia 2 figure.  Especially with a flimsy oversized box that wouldn't fit on my shelf.

Nice.  How sturdy is the box?  I couldn't really tell from the unboxing videos.  It might be the deciding factor in whether I stick with CE or go with LE.  I don't want one of those flimsy boxes that creases/rips just from trying to open or from picking it up.  Like, I'm hoping for chipboard or...

No shipping info yet, but my amazon order has finally updated from "Shipping Soon" to "Shipping Now".  Looking at my other orders, it seems a book I ordered back in April (about 2 weeks before I ordered SMT IV) is being bundled with it. Which is odd, since I asked them about said book 3 weeks...

Hey, six cents is six cents.  I got to say, I'm getting a little irritated at Amazon though.  They STILL haven't shipped my copy, even though it's been marked as "Shipping Now" since yesterday morning.

Ah, I see now. That makes sense.

So... which is it? Not that it matters to me, since I'd add it to my account pretty much instantly, but I still don't like seeing contradictory information.

Once this goes live, I'll just have to figure out how to set up a Club Nintendo/eshop account and link it to my 3DS.  I didn't do it when I first set it up and bought DLC for Awakening, so hopefully that won't cause issues.

Tales is also more popular in Japan, selling on average 9-10x the number of units compared to the US. Not to mention video games and DVDs/BluRays in general are quite a bit more expensive over there.

While I'm glad, it pisses me off they couldn't have announced this last week. Just canceled my gold box version on Friday figuring there wasn't any point in keeping it since I got a hold of a CE pre-order.

Any idea if this will automatically be applied to an order I placed a couple of months ago?

It's actually "Ex-ill-ia", but unless the person ringing you up has played the Japanese version they won't know either way. Just "pre-order" and "Tales of" should be enough, since it's not like there'd be another in the system.

By Japanese standards, it's somewhat low quality. It isn't like a $10 figure or anything, but it's a "prize figure" rather than a "scale figure". So $40 is about what it would retail for in Japan, give or take, compared to the average $80 retail that a scale figure would. That said, compared...

Assuming it's similar to the Japanese version (like Graces was), it'll be a Cress costume for Jude and a Stahn costume for Milla (both costumes include hair styles (you can switch costumes and hair in Xillia, the hair isn't dependent on the costume anymore) and there's at least one attachment...
