Smart kids.

Already learning to flip at a 4th grade level.

 
I'm the type of person who'd be there in front of the asshole with his trailer park brood. Always winning.

Edit: That's a lie I'm the type of person who has to work 12-14 hours a day six days a week and who never has the leisure time to line up for releases.

Why did you want some? I would have shared.

Plus, I had to fight off some guy and his three kids wanting to get in on it. Some people just like tapioca I guess.

I'm as entertained by these derailments as the next guy, but if no one post this "Chris" guys listing every new release, we can avoid this discussion altogether. It's the same each time:

1. LRG new release Friday morning

2. "Chris" Ebay listing posted shortly after

3. And off the rails we go

Wash, rinse, repeat. LOL

 
It goes like this:
Loose discs are unavoidable and we shouldn't complain about them.

Chris is unavoidable and we should complain about him.

Mind. Blown.
 
I'm happy they are trying to catch "chris" the package he mails will be stamped by the post office by the county it was shipped out of. Also, with these limited editions is in not a viable option to keep track of which numbers go out to southern california? then just cross reference that number with whatever shows up on ebay. end of story :) this would not just be about one person, but also deter other flippers. 

 
I should note something positive, I got my limited edition Darius Burst and it was packaged very well. Great job ! excited to see what other special edition come down the line.

I don't think any LRG releases have been individually numbered on the packaging, so there's no identifiable info to tie it to

 
LRG still has two announcements for next week. Both are seemingly heavy hitters. One is Vita/PS4, and the other is just Vita.

One Vita/PS4 that I'd hoped to announce this week. The other is one we owe everybody - it's just Vita.

More than likely it is Dariusburst Vita

Every week I see someone grieving about their loose discs... so I created a clip to provide support to those currently dealing with Loose Disc Syndrome (LDS).  Here I share trade secrets regarding my specially created method that has worked 99% of the time.  If you know someone currently suffering from LDS, please forward this link at no cost.  Side effects include unexpected joy and relief, with renewed urges to complete your collection.

Once it is his/her property, do they not have right to do with it as they please?

Some people play it, some shelf it, some sell it.

God damn... I thought this was gonna be some kind of joke but now I'm hoping for a loose disc game so I can try this.:applause:

 
The only PS4 games I ever purchased where the first 3 LRG releases(and the recent Darius LE), and I got 1 loose of those first three. One I had shipped in a box, and it had no padding, and that disc was fine, then the other two came in the bubble mailers, and one was loose and one was not.

Once I actually start buying more PS4 games, most if not all will be for play, as I don't see doing much collecting there, so a loose disc won't be an issue, as I'll be opening them to play.

Yeah, sorry, I've been meaning to post the solution for months, but never got around to it. Hopefully now I don't have to see so much complaining about the issue. :) Just to give you some reassurance... that video was filmed with one attempt, and the method has worked for me on all but one disc, which I'm convinced has a damaged peg. I've tried all the other methods, which generally leave minor creasing in the artwork, so I figured I'd rely on the same physics that causes them to be loose in the first place!!! ;)

I can't believe this actually works. LOL

LRG should give you a free game, and post your video on their site, as that is some top shelf scientific work, no question. Now I guess everyone can see how easy this fix is, and it should prove how easy it has worked in the reverse to cause the issue in the first place.

 
 I have some loose discs and just tried it on two.  It worked on one first try and couldn't to get it to work on the other.  I wonder if something is up with the peg for one that didn't work, it even sounds different in there.  Once I get around to playing it, I'll check. Very awesome tho, and I'm sure a lot of people will be grateful.  The loose discs never really bothered me, but it's nice to have a way to secure them without damaging anything. Thanks for the video :)

 
900 lumen flashlight will be like X Ray vision on the cases and let you see if the hub is unbroken and verify the disc is centered before trying to seat it.

Also, practice 100 times with an open game, preferably some shitty throw away sports games or something you don't care about. 

A few times slowly with the case open pressing the disc itself so you can get a feel for what's happening and why this works (the disc is able to slide slightly to hook the far peg after the edge clears the near peg.

Then close it and practice.

Then practice more with manuals.

I haven't cared about loose discs in ages.

I think Chris works for LRG and is selling to troll you all.

On to my suggestion for LRG. They should print 1000 of each copy and the owners keep 500 of each game and later flip them for huge profits and retire. No one would know you hold back since its your company.

Ex. Sell 500 copies to the public to keep the system alive and buyers thinking its rare to drive up the market later. LRG keeps 500 copies and hold em them the market is highest and slowly sell them under alias accounts later.

Great way to make tons of cash. Cha Ching!

This could work for any "limited ### count products/company"

Why is this troll shitting up the thread? I reported him, suggest everyone else does as well. Time to take out the trash.

Just got my copy of DariusBust LE and Nova-111. I have to say this might be the best packing job I've ever had from any online company ever.

Yeah, mine came yesterday, and the double box technique was the way to go for sure, top marks. If anyone's Darius orders arrives damaged, USPS had it out for them, as that box would have to take a pretty good level of damage, to get to the actual game box.

Now I'm confident that any future LE will arrive in the proper condition, so I can order without having to worry.

 
I got my Dariusburst LE and vanilla copy in and they were packed really well. No loose disc either. I am really happy. It doesn't even matter if the vanilla copy had a loose disc as it bluray for one which it wont be damaged as easily as games of yesteryear, and I bought it specifically to open and play. My LE I am undecided at the moment if I want to keep sealed or not.

 
I feel sad many of these games will never see actual play. Just me of course....I may open my Mystery One Way Chronicles Vita...also was one of the ones in that black friday sale. I don't really care about the value as much though.

Considering how many people buy LRG games and keep them sealed the unsealed games may more of a rarity than sealed. I personally haven't opened any of the games I have for Vita from LRG, but I also own the majority digitally. I have opened both my Dariusburst CS and Shadow Complex on PS4 though.

I think as time goes on, many will be opened and enjoyed when the games get delisted from PSN or become otherwise unavailable digitally. Many people who keep our releases sealed own the games digitally so they don't see a need to open the physical copies.

 
I received my Dariusburst LE and regular edition. I only got 1 raffle ticket though. Did anyone get two?  I'm guessing this was due to an error and not a new policy, right?

 
Is Risk of Rain the only game on the 26th? I thought I read that the Strafe LRG variant might also go up on the 26th.

It should be 2x tickets- def an error.
