Lot of games - Little money. Where should my priorities go?

Post by the7k »

There's a good bit of games I want to get, but it's going to take a while. However, some of these games are collector's editions, very limited, etc. Which of these do you think I should focus on?

All of these are games I can actually get right now (they're being held for me)... I just can't get ALL of them right now. I'm going to have to let some of them go and hope I can find them again.

Deathsmiles - Limited Edition (X360)
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony Limited (PSP)
Persona w/ Soundtrack (PSP)
Persona 3 Portable (PSP)
Eternal Sonata (PS3)

I'm kinda leaning towards Deathsmiles (just because it seems to be really limited), although Eternal Sonata for the PS3 has been a complete pain-in-the-arse to track down. I know Persona and Lunar are god-awful expensive on the PS1, but I have no idea if the remakes will follow the same path.

Buy the item you want to see more of produced. Namco Bandai has had some serious financial problems recently, so I'd choose Eternal Sonata to help them out.

Despite being an rpg guy, I'm going with Deathsmiles. It's only 15,000 copies I hear. I love supporting this too. It's essentially a collector's edition for only 50 bucks. It's a collector's edition done right too. No flimsy packaging or crappy items, which usually puts me off with collector's editions

I reckon Deathsmiles or Eternal Sonata...

Seriously? I didn't know that. Well "the7k" if Namco Bandai suddenly folds and announces that they've gone bankrupt it's your fault, that is, if you choose not to purchase Eternal Sonata.

But if you get Eternal Sonata you may never see a limited edition Deathsmiles again, ever.

Tough choice indeed. :D

Two choices

A one of a kind, never to be seen again, legendary item for his personal collection or the fate of the entire company of Namco Bandai, what will the7k choose!? The fate of Namco Bandai...and the7k's Collection hangs in the balance!!

WHAT WILL HE CHOOSE!!!

Tune in next time...

Ha ha, well, I somehow doubt me buying one copy of an old RPG is really going to help Namco out much. Besides, the Namco I grew up with is dead.

I guess I'll go with DeathSmiles, considering how limited it is. I'll save the rest for later, although I'm still wondering whether I should put Lunar above Persona on my list of priorities. Aside from these games, I also have to save up for AWA... arg.

I hate where Namdai is going with their RPGs. They never localize anything. They say the games won't sell well outside of Japan, so they only release them in Japan. Thus, they only get the sales from Japan, and thus they think it is not selling well, creating a vicious cycle of ignorance. Also, get Death Smiles.

Just to repeat what everyone else has said: get DeathSmiles. It's a super cheap collector's edition, and the game itself is absolutely amazing. I've been trying to get rid of my Xbox 360 for a while to get some extra funds, and then I played DeathSmiles at a friend's house, and it's almost making me want to keep my damn Xbox :x

Deathsmiles is the best $50 I've spent all year. Best (Cheapest?) Collector's Edition out there! Hopefully Cave will bring more of there games out like this here if it sells well!

I know this sounds stupid, but knowing how limited Deathsmiles is makes me not even want to open it. I've still got it sealed in shrinkwrap, been trying to force myself to open it :lol:
