Not so Special Special Edition PSP

For most that know me, they should know by now my "obsession" to purchase a PSP. Don't ask me where that come from, heck. Don't even ask me why I suddenly wanted to purchase a PSP. I just wanted to.

Then again, it might have something to do with all those games that I didn't get to play or all those PS2 game that I never had. Maybe it's all those new games that are coming out this year in 2008.

Anyway, to quell my obsession I took a look at Play-Asia to expand my knowledge on PSP. Bad move, I discovered a few cool looking Special Edition PSP. Its no Crisis Core pack but it still looks dashing enough to get me all...

Cough anyway, Check out this two special edition PSP


Star Ocean: The First Departure (Eternal Edition w/ PSP-2000 Console)
a Felicia Blue PSP adorned with Star Ocean logo at the back not half bad but I don't like the star thingy. Looks weird..

Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam: Giren no Yabou - Axis no Kyoui
Will be launched in February this year. One of the newer edition of PSP in Red, ( I dare say they are taking a leaf out of NDSL book) This one looks a bit.. weird.. If you know what I mean. The red colour looks revealing but also less PSP and more DS. The back though did a nice job with the design. Granted its not really that nice but its still something isn't it? ( I am running out of reasons to stop bashing this PSP )

Well, after the disastrous not so special, special edition PSP. I think I will be purchasing the Lavender Purple PSP. I know its a bit girlish but its either that or the Pink PSP. Thats what my gf says. And quite frankly. I find both appealing. Its not a matter of manliness but its for a fact that the Lavender Purple PSP is quite nice! So is the pink one!

Gaming on the Slide and Sega on the Roll

If you would allow me to let my pun slide ( yet again ) I would like to highlight the price drop for a week on Play-Asia for the Slide Adventure: Mag Kid game which is currently on sale for a mere US 29.90 ( RM 102 ). Considering that this game comes with a slot two accessories, at US 29.90, Slide Adventure: Mag Kid is a pretty good deal. Although the slot two accessories only allow player to play the game on hard and smooth surface kind of make the game redundant its still a novelty to purchase at US 29.90.

I also found this during my ritual Play-Asia browsing earlier. Sega History Collection Gashapon which ran out of stock in 2004 is currently back in stock. Do not ask me where they find it, but the matter remains that they have it on sale now. Retailing at the slight price of US 3.90 ( RM 13.81 ) the Sega History Collection Gashapon is a pretty good collection for those golden oldies time when Sega dominate the world and was not reduced to a mere one roomed company.

Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age 2 Bundle - 110V

Well what do you know.. The Brain Age 2 Bundle is finally out. And at quite a reasonable price too. Retailling at US 199.90, thats RM 703.55 for malaysian, the price of the whole special bundle is reasonable. In fact, looking at the included accesoric and colour combination, I dare say that this set is a steal. Let's do a simple calculation

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 150

Leather Pouch = RM 55

Limited Edition NDSL = RM 500

Bear in mind that i am using this as an example of the pricing only

If I were to calculate it ala Sungai Wang or Retailer pricing, this is what we will get

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 160

Leather Pouch = RM 70

LIMITED Edition NDSL = RM 700

Thats easily RM 930, so if you wanted to get an NDSL, I would suggest getting it now, and this bundle is worth every penny

Zelda: Minish Cap

Information and purchase can be found HERE

Edit: Title edited. Wrong name :( It was Cap not Cup. Thankz to Zeldafan

Nintendo DS Character Touch Pen Pocket Monster Diamond & Pearl Version Gashapon

Kawaii!! Seriously, this is cute. Forget those 300++ pokemon ( or was it 400? ) Get this 5 pokemon touch pen which features 5 of the most wondrous character in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I already ordered 2. When will you order yours?


Nintendo DS Character Touch Pen Pocket Monster Diamond & Pearl Version Gashapon

SHIAT!

Remember this post HERE?

Well apparently I did not watch THAT space diligently enough because its sold out in less then 8 hours. Yeap. First they put a PRE-ORDER opening soon. I went to sleep and when I woke up the next day I get a big red OUT OF STOCK stamped on my face. WHAT THE HELL!

And I wasn't even the only one that was caught off guard. A friend of mine which wanted to buy that also discovered the same crap when he woke up. SIGH! Well, I found another place that sell it. YESASIA.

But don't bother because they are selling the damn thing DOUBLE the price! GAH! I think I am gonna sulk in the corner. Sigh

Rockman EXE Stream Progress Pet

Anyone wanna enlighten me on what in the name of elune's moon is this? And it even comes in Red or Blue! What the...

Rockman EXE Stream Progress Pet - Blue
Rockman EXE Stream Progress Pet - Red

Pre-Order Free Gifts

After a draught of over 2 months from all the Hyped out cool games. A week from now, there will be none stop launching of games for the next 1 month or so. Which is very bad for people with little budget like me.

To pull in more sales, games are now starting to give Pre-Order Gifts bundled with the game. 2 of the more noticeable games are

Subarashiki Kono Sekai: It's a Wonderful World



Which comes with a miniature kitten to called Pochi a stuffed cat that plays into Shiki Misaki's (IAWW's female lead) special attack (quoted from DSfanboy)

Taiko no Tatsujin DS

Which comes with not 1 but 2 Taiko Stylus for the game. Pretty cool item. Not really that pretty though.

Zelda

Call your self a fan of Zelda?

No self respecting Self portrayed Zelda Fan would be caught dead without a Zelda item somewhere on their body. I would really ( really ) like to get one of this


But the said item was sold out 2 years ago around 2005. So meh.. I guess I will make do with either a

Touch Pen Knock Metal (The Legend of Zelda) from Tomy

or

The Legend of Zelda Fabric Case (green) from Sanei

or

The Legend of Zelda Fabric Case (blue) from Sanei

I have no idea how those looks but meh. Anything Zeldish would do well in my dictionary
I do hope they will make a keychain or phone strap thingy of Zelda again. Those on top really really look nice..

For those that have been too out of touch with gaming world, a The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass english version is expected to be out by August this year. Currently the japanese version called er... The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is already out in the market. I would suggest waiting for the english version if you can't really read japanese as Zelda games can be categorized under ARPG which means it involves puzzle solving and some reading.

It's A Wonderful World

You see that space up there? I am watching it very closely as any moment now it will change to THIS and I will be getting that if its decent set of item :D

I am really really interested in this game. I have no idea why. Maybe its the graphic, maybe its the team behind this whole game development but It's A Wonderful World or Subarashiki Kono Sekai is something that I have paid huge attention to since it was announced and tonight I found a supposed DS Box Art of it

NICE !

I also found a HUGE amount of screen shot about this game. Because readers like Picture more then words, so.. here we go!

Nintendo DS Lite Special Edition ( SE )

The other day a friend of mind sent me a link to this KINGDOM HEARTS SE . I immediately fell in love with it. I wanted to get it but Play-Asia ran out of stock for this particular item. It also doesn't help when the item itself has been out for 4 years already.
Not giving up, I cruise around the net looking for any seller selling it. And LO AND BEHOLD!~ I found a seller from Japan selling that KH SE for 300 USD! Holy Crap! Fine, I give up. The amount is too much for me to stomach. I might like it. But I don't Like it THAT much.

This few days has seen the launching of 2 Nintendo DS Lite Special Edition. One is to commorate 20 years of certain something. ( I had no idea what it is) Apparently it has something to do with trains. Judging by the look of the design on the casing. The NDSL SE comes with a game called Momotarou Dentetsu DS: Tokyo & Japan.

Then I found another one which everyone can relate to. Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings ( -Sky Pirate Edition ). The design of this particular NDSL SE is not really that special. What intrigued me is in the title itself. Sky Pirate Edition? Does that mean there will be more then one edition sold in the future? Heck if there is. I might get it. Of course, if the price is "appropriate" that is.

Animal Crossing Character Bottle Phone Strap Gashapon

I finally got my Animal Crossing! YAY!!! I seriously got nothing to say about this but boy this Animal Crossing Phone Strap is cute and pretty! And its a good way to attract girls attention too if you are a guy. Good as a gift too btw.
The doll and the gift box is made out of a soft synthetic like thing which can be pressed but still retain a slight hardness. The bottle is made out of plastic. And apparently you can write a short note and keep it in the bottle. Pretty darn good way to use this as a way to "court" girls. If you know what I mean. Wink Wink

Well, if you want a piece of this baby, Head HERE for it

P/S : I realize that I only post about certain items if I were to purchase it. But... Lets just say I don't buy lots of item lately.. Except for a screen and skin protector which I screwed up during installation.

Gyakuten Saiban 4, Phoenix Wright 4

It took a bit of doing but, Here I am, Back in one piece. Work and life has been hectic for the past 2 weeks. I Found two new job and had to decide which line of company I want to join. The decision making process was not pleasant, Anyway Gyakuten Saiban 4 or better known as Phoenix Wright 4 is out in the market now.

There is a limited edition of the item available HERE. Apparently the box features item such as

• Gyakuten Saiban 4
• Gyakuten Saiban 4 Headsphone
• Gyakuten Saiban Encyclopedia
• Gyakuten Saiban Animation DVD
• Gyakuten Saiban 4 Box

Pretty cool set of item, whats even cooler is this. For fear that the Limited Edition Item will be sold out too fast with insufficent stock to back it up, Play-Asia has decided to not to open the pre-order. They will open the order when the item arrives and sell it straight. Talk about good sales...

So head on over to HERE if you want to grab a set. Be warned though, you need to keep an eye out for it when it opens for sale.
