I think this mentality only works if your collection is a couple hundred games. I have about 5000 games... not all of them are mint and it doesn't bug me in the least because I know how cheaply I acquired them over the years compared to their relative worth. Dont get me wrong, I don't buy absolute trash copies but when I'm picking up a ps3 game for $4, I don't care if there's a crease in the artwork or a bent manual as long as it's all there. If I did, I would have missed out on a lot of great deals---or had to pay a lot more on ebay for mint or sealed copies.

I agree and also - there's way to repair some of the damage done. Creases can flattened back with heavy books lighly ironing if it bothers someone that much. 

 

And the vita cases are plastic and resistant to ispropyl-rubbing alcohol cleaning if you remove the artwork manual. I feel like many of us don't 'expect' to find it in mint condition and are willing to put in the time/effort/elbow grease when appropriate.

i ordered the Death Mark LE from Best Buy that was priced at $39.99. i got it in the mail today. its actually the regular copy.

Same for me, ordered the LE shipped to home and was standard copy.  Funny enough, the store pickup portion of my order is having trouble locating the standard copy at the higher price tag.

Had my 64 gb card just fail on me for the second time.  Can't remember how many years it's been since the first time.  2-3?  Maybe I should've gone for the 32 gb over the 64 gb.

They all run a risk of failure the bigger the most likely. Was your card a japanese one or a chinese(Asia) one?

I know I'm late to the pro day discussion, but I ordered 3 vita games in the sale: rayman origins ($5.87 - came as a cart in a sleeve), danganronpa 2 ($11.75 - complete), and persona 4 dancing all night (11.75 - cart in a generic GS case).
One out of three; I'll take it I guess. I'll probably return the two incomplete ones. I do wish that ordering used games from them online wasnt so hit or miss.

I noticed that Play-Asia is doing free shipping on the standard editions of Rainbow Moon and Rainbow Skies now. I don't know if that's a BF thing or what because they used to only offer free shipping on limited editions of their exclusives. I was able to order them both separately and use a $3 discount code on each one.

Interestingly, the Limited Editions of these two titles did not qualify for free shipping due to their substantial weights. As for the free shipping now be offered on the standard editions, that must be part of the Black Friday sales promotion because I definitely paid shipping for the standard editions when pre-ordered months back.

Not shockingly, Race the Sun isn't selling terribly quick as far as LRG games go. Still a good chunk of inventory remaining fifteen minutes into the sale.

I kinda wish I actually wanted any of this, those are some decent prices.

If anything I can confirm that booby mousepad with MeiQ has a kind of weirdly transferred image. Not as clean as some others I've seen in the past. Still mighty comfy though if you're into that, though I still haven't played the game.

EDIT I added PS4 LE in the cart and it gave me free shipping option.... weird 





 

[ricotito23]

No free shipping for me.

[lionheart059]

Yeah... I mean the prices themselves are nice, but I can't convince myself to pay $20-ish in shipping alone.

[Tweeg]

Idea Factory has always charged for shipping except when offering a "free shipping" promo offer.

[idogames]

Weird, they gave me the free shipping option. Really great prices if you can get free shipping on the LE's

Any deals on a PS Vita system this year? I still don't have one. : (

None, you choices are either bite the bullet and just buy it at price value at Gamestop or roll the dice on eBay or craigslist. Only problem with going through eBay and CL is if the buttons are messed up you are stuck with it.

Thanks for posting this. Rainbow Skies is one of the last Vita games I really want, but the shipping has been holding me back. Much appreciated!

Pawn shops are a good choice as well as they will usually provide a seven or so days defect return policy, meaning if something was wrong with the system they missed when they accepted the item into their inventory they'll either refund you or trade it out pending their policies.

Bought used on Ebay, 64 gb mem card and FFX HD cart for $165 2 days ago thanks to the Ebay 15% off coupon.  Your best bet is to do the same.  There are no Vita system BF deals anymore.  Like the previous poster said, Bite the bullet and pay Used or New Asian version.

I would of bit on Edo Blossoms but they are sold out. Iffy still owes me a boob pad since I bought Labyrinth cheap at AX.

Glad I randomly checked this thread... no interest in any of the games but at those prices and I got FS, in for one of each besides the Edo Blossoms LE which was sold out.
