well the blu-ray retails for 5000 yen, so it's not that much more money. I don't know who would want to pay 5000 yen for any movie though, it's insanely overpriced.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Would someone like to inform me of the difference between "Piano Black" and "Cloud Black"?

Oh... I thought it was going to have like... a picture of cloud from FF7 on it.

Was looking foward to people all hyped beacuse they imported it and bought a second PS3 just because it had cloud's face on it.

I thought the same... or that it would have a giant VII or XIII on the side...

 

Yeah... i mean i legitamitly think it would squeeze some extra money out of goofy fanboys.  I'd be all over it if i were them.

Just don't make it ugly and therefore undesireable... like the Halo 360 model.

 

I know... I was like: "WTF? why is it so expensive & ugly?", and then I was like: "Why doesn't include Halo 3?". It just doesn't make sense...

What about Gran Turismo 5 prologue isn't that basically a demo and many people bought it at 60 bucks

It was only $40 in US.

 

And all movies are expensive. This isn't the exception or a high mark up. These things are just that expensive.

Yep, Anime is often $60 to $80 for about 3 24-minute episodes in Japan.  TBH, I was almost expecting the ACC with demo to be at least 8000 yen.

The full FF XIII game will probably retail around 9000 yen like SO4, but most stores will probably sell it for about 7000.

 

It's just the way things work in Japan.

And that still blows my mind.

The more I hear of S-E's recent practices, the more I despise Yoichi Wada but hey, buying the demo is "voluntary", why should I blame him?
