Limited Run

[Michi]

This is just a reminder that LRG 4th Switch release, Pixeljunk Monsers 2, is currently up as an open pre-order until June 1st. The release is the Complete Edition, so it will include all the DLC (and a manual.)

They also have PS4 and PC versions available during the same time frame.

You've got to love LRG.

*add game to cart the very second it goes on sale at 3:00pm (GMT)*

*Go straight to check out*

*immediately go to pay*

*game removed from check out as it has sold out at 3:01pm*

Dammit.

what game was that?

[Michi]

Yeah, that happened to me today, too. That was a first for me, though. But that was a bundle. I still managed to get what I wanted by buying individually. Guess my clicking prowess wasn't fast enough.

You can try again at 6 (11 for you?). Believe it or not, it's usually not quite so manic in the afternoon.

It was Read Only Memories for the Vita (standard edition). Yeah, I'm going to try the second batch. I reckon I can be quicker this time (because I totally wasn't trying to buy it whilst at work earlier or anything... )

I'm glad you say it's less manic in the second batch. I hope that's the case, as I've been assuming it will be even more manic.

I did manage to pick up VA-11 HALL-A though, since apparently no one wants that game (it still hasn't even sold out now!), although that one has nearly 5,000 copies to be fair, whilst Read Only Memories only has 2,000 copies (despite being a hugely popular game) for some reason

Yeah, it's usually not as bad in the afternoon, but sometimes it can depend on the popularity of the game, as I'm sure you can imagine.

I'm not sure why there's such a disparity between the game numbers of those titles, but I assume it has something to do with the fact that they already did a PS4 release of Read Only Memories not too long ago.

[Reprise]

Yeah, it could be because of the PS4 version. I don't really get how their releases work anymore. Some releases they do an open pre-order system which seems a lot fairer from a consumer standpoint (but I understand why they might not be in favour of that method, since it might be less cost effective for them or just not always feasible, I don't really know).

Well, I hope I manage to pick it up later. I'll have my fingers crossed (although not whilst trying to order, obviously).

[Reprise]

Did it!!!

[Michi]

Did it!!!

Awesome! Glad you got what you wanted.
