Well I am officially screwed. I picked up a pre-paid AmEx card on the way home this evening... and then....
The Kickstarter apparently ended a few hours before I thought it was going to. I can honestly say that I have tried ever since the Vita goal was met to get ahold of a freaking pre-paid CC so I could get in on this.... and it would seem as though all of the forces of the universe have conspired against me. The only other chance I had prior to today to go out and get this stupid card I actually got to the store to buy one... and discovered I forgot to bring the money.
And that dear readers sums up how my day has gone.
