Damn, would love to get a 75 at that price but couldn't even fit that in my SUV lol neither a 65

I had to drive clown car style with the seat to the limit to get them both in the back, but it was worth it lol. Anything bigger will need to be delivered heh.

We barely got a 65 into my husband’s Murano.  I would love a 75” but if we have to rent a truck, that adds more hassle than it is worth.

Annoyed the b1g1 50% off doesn’t include storm connections, lies of P or armored core

[HakurenKyo06]

Bunch of indie pre-orders are working for buy 1 get 1 50% off I've noticed so far.

Lies of P is included... just not for PS5, which is what I assume you want it for. You can get the PS4 or Xbox version though.

Oh yeah ps5 I don’t collect ps4 copies anymore

[flooderdooden]

Personally, I like checking for which PS4 copies come with free PS5 digital upgrades. If the PS5 upgrade is free, I opt for the PS4 copy. That way I get both versions of the game, like others do when purchasing the digital version of the game.

[lilman]

Grabbed :ps5: Stranger of Paradise FFO for $15. Tempted on some indies, but I don't mind getting those cheaper digitally.

[TheLegendofTyler]

Was hoping the sale price on forspoken would be active and eligible for the b1g1, but it's back to full price. Grabbed strangers or paradise. Not much else that's interesting to me.

[falsedichotomies]

Worst BXGX sale yet from Target in terms of included titles.

Couple good things for Sony fans and that's about it.

Good deal for octopath traveler 2

I was online when it went live and literally no Switch preorders counted this time.  Did get some indie PS5 preorders in though.

What have been some good indie PS4/PS5 preorders available in this promotion?

Also, if anyone else wants to share what they’ve found so far, please feel free. I’m always up for hearing about some hidden gems I might have overlooked. I’ve ordered Octopath Traveler 2 and Signalis so far. Had hoped a few other physical edition indies would be out by now, but some seem to be delayed and don’t qualify for the discount (Prodeus, Asterigos, Dredge).

Most of the qualifying AAA fare I think will be cheaper during the holiday shopping season, so when these Target BOGO offers happen earlier in the year, I’m normally looking more for niche or indie stuff.

Trails to Azure iirc was mentioned as qualifying. That just came out this month. If you already missed the considerably better preorder deals 50 isn't terrible. As it really depends on whether Nisa reprints or not if it will become scarce. Cold steel 1 & cs2 ps4 both had limited prints and went oop. Cs3 & cs4 had similar experience but got multiple reprints to the point that 3s launch edition was available for like 7.50 because of over saturation.

It's worth mentioning that Azure is 5th in a long running series legend of heroes trails series with story continuity and references every other arc.

Was doing that too especially since I don't own a PS5 yet as I'm waiting for the Pro model to come out before buying but then I start thinking downloading the PS5 upgrade is going to take so much more drivespace than running it off the disk and the PS5 boxes look flashier on my shelf than the PS4 ones.

Good recommendation as well. If the first game from last year had been included in the BOGO, I would probably have considered it. But if I’m looking at it correctly, I believe only the second game is qualifying (the third game has a preorder listing but doesn’t qualify). I’ve not started this series but have only heard good things about it. Back in 2019, I picked up the first three games, but then blanked on the fourth game and missed out when Best Buy marked it down on clearance. Looking at eBay prices for it now, I really regret missing out.

If you (or anyone else) have played them, what type of time commitment would I be looking at to go through what’s been released so far? I think that’s sort of kept me from jumping in—just the thought of each one running 50-75 hours turns that into a multi-month affair. I normally tend towards completionist as well, which could tag that much more time for each one. I already carry a decent backlog (thanks, CAG), so when I have the chance to chew through more of it playing shorter stuff, I’ve lately tended to go that direction.

the time commitment at this point would overwhelm you. the third game you are talking about, trails into reverie, is actually the end of 2 story arcs in the legend of heroes games. i mean you could probably play it and enjoy it if you like the other games, but this is a deep deep dive to really know everything that is going on. these games go back to the psp days.

[Twilightsparkle]

Some Switch games that are released and were in previous sales don’t qualify this time.  Omori, Baba is You, Slime Rancher, etc.  Just loads of indies.  If they are on another console, those qualify though.  For me the sale is horrible this time.

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. I’ve heard the games are great, but there can definitely be too much of a good thing. Would have the same trepidation trying to go through any of the big RPG series at this point. Just have too much to play and not enough time.

Legends series is amazing.  LOTS of time, especialy if want to "see" everything.  Trail of Cold Steel 1-4 each game is about 70+ hours at least.  I finished that and just popped in Azure and was shocked by the difference in style...I don't know that I am going to be able to make it through that and Zero...disappointing  because I really enjoyed Trails of Cold Steel...and you really have to start at 1....

 

Not to get too in depth but Azure and Zero take place in the same world but different Area as Trails of Cold Steel

[shadowysea07]

All the games take place in different countries at different times but otherwise the same continent. Zero and Azure run along the same time frame as cold steel 1 & 2. It's the only case where events are happening simultaneously in both and get referenced in cold steel. The reason being that zero and Azure were created years beforehand so zero only retroactively got cold steel references added in the recent port. I'm not sure if both versions have them though or if they are exclusive to the switch version console wise.

When you say you were shocked by the change in style, what do you mean? Are you referring to gameplay? Graphics? Both? Neither?

Not gonna lie, I sorta wish they would also make a complete collection of each bundle of Trails games at some point in the future, sorta like Sega did with Yakuza 3-5 or what From did with the Dark Souls Trilogy. Being on the fence about when to get something that might be a niche title with a limited print run can be frustrating, especially when those CAG cheapo tendencies take over. Hard to know when’s the best time to bite.

Japan has a complete bundle, it’s very doubtful there will be a ntsc release for it. The Japanese release was sometime last year.

Now THAT would be a hell of a deal if Falcom brought that bundle to the West. Just ran the exchange rate on it, and it’s basically $115 for five games. Some of the singular Trails games go for crazy amounts on eBay right now, due to their apparent scarcity. Personally, I’d be okay if they bundled the Trails of Cold Steel games into one bundle, and the other Trails games into another. They’d make more money that way, and I could see them easily selling each in the $70-100 range. Of course, if it were to happen at all, they’d have to run their course selling the remaining singular reissues before considering a bundle repackage. And you’re probably right, we’ll likely never see anything like this, but man, one can hope.

Yeah I gave up, I bought 1 & 2 at some stupid prices I don’t care to admit. The last entree should be coming out in July so I’ll probably get around to play those soon. I was gonna get azure and zero but, I figured they drop drastically in price at some point. I basically broke even with buying 1 & 2 I found someone selling them for cheaper then what I paid and resold them. Unfortunately NIS isn’t one to put out collections of games. What I do think may happen is a ps5 release of 1-4 which might be an easy way to buy in for some people if you’re into physical copies. Other then that I’d say we’re out of luck when it comes to a bundle of this game coming.

[shadowysea07]

Nis isn't one to put out collections of ips they localize for other companies is I think what you mean there. Given we have the shitty 3 collections that they just put out semi recently. And I think Rhapsody is getting one?
