Ugh....Today's weather forecast in Adelaide: Horribly hot and humid with thunderstorms. Goody.

On a lighter note, I bought a new shiny today~ The Afterglow 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound Wireless headset. I must say, they have amazing sound clarity for a lesser known brand, not like Turtlebeach, Razer or Steelseries. For any Aussies who want them, they're still available for preorder on the EB games website, but I found them in stock in store. They're also PS4 compatible, not sure about Xbone.

Ah, that makes sense, then. <///< I was that nervous I'd mess up it took me a while to really want to get involved on here.

I did notice that there's people from a wide range of regions on here. I didn't realize just how many countries had large gaming cultures. DX Budgets are awful, Knight. There's been more than one purchase I've had to pass up as my own budget wouldn't allow it. Amazon and Gamestop are probably my favourite US retailers, as they, to an extent, ship to Australia. I prefer Amazon though.

That 25th Anniversary Edition LoZ console was probably the first major collecting purchase I made. It was a good....fifty dollars, I think, dearer than a standard 3DS at the time and didn't come packaged with Ocarina of Time, so I was kind of torn. It's a really nice piece though, I hope you find one, too!

Thanks! I hope I have good time here. I'll try to contribute well.

I'm a huge Zelda fanboy, I got hooked on the original Legend of Zelda. I played it in...99 I think, when I inherited my first console. The Pikachu one was a must have, though. Pikachu is my favourite Pokemon XD And the red x/y one was because I adore Yveltal. I actually have a Yveltal gijinka~

Yveltal Gijinka ( Drawn by the amazing Frostvandals @ DA ) ( Not advertising, just don't want to be mistaken as having draw it myself DX )

Spoiler!

XD I game on PC, but my 780m struggles with newer games. I haven't OC'ed it, so it lags a bit in games like AC IV. My steam name is Cheshire-Grin. I probably won't do a lot of PC gaming until December/January, after I get back from the states. I'm planning to pick an Alienware with dual Maxwell GPUs. Hopefully that's enough for me to be able to game properly.

Ooh you are in the states for a year?

PSN Xbox Live everything is Letrico.

My favourite Zelda was Ocarina of Ages and Ocarina of Seasons. Recent zelda doesn't appeal much to me I don't know why.

Gamestop is kinda an ass to me since they decided to blacklist me for a month because I tried to order saints row GOTG edition. I love amazon the most since their shipping is affordable as well but most rare games sold out too quick on amazon since people just use it to resell the game.

Cheshire-Grin · #13 01-14-2014, 08:08 AM

Nah, I'm only there for about a month, from the tail end of November to just before Christmas.

I can't actually remember my PSN, but I don't have an Xbox Live because I objected to paying for it. I'm planning to set one up when I get an Xbox One.

Which is something I've been meaning to ask about...have you tried the PS4 and Xbone? What's the performance like? I missed the opportunity to get them at launch, but I'm planning to get them when EB has them in stock again.

My favourite Zelda was probably a tie between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Twilight Princess gets a mention for Midna alone, her sadism towards Link amused me XD

Was the GOTG Saint's Row non-importable through Gamestop? I only managed to get mine because I had a friend there who was willing to export a few games for me. She changed her mind when Gamestop kept screwing the order up, though. Amazon's shipping services are amazing, and they have a massive range; I try and place my preorders the moment I see something on there, though, because they tend to sell quickly.

By the way, Letrico, I found a seller for some Assassin's Creed CEs. Namely, AC Brotherhood Codex and Auditore editions, AC II: Black Edition and AC Revelations: Animus Edition. I'm not sure of the pricing for them, though. Is $440 for the lot a reasonable price?

Letrico · #14 01-14-2014, 08:24 AM

That sounds fun. I just came back from Japan for Christmas trip and it was so fun lol

I'm getting my ps4 this shipment but I have been using xbox one since launch. Can't exactly give you pro and cons yet but I can tell you the xbox ui is clunky at the moment. You need to do full power cycle or else the menu will get very laggy due to their standby node for quick boot. You can open lots of app at the same time but there is no way to end those task like our phone and tablet causing it to slow down over time.

Somehow the gotg just restricts delivery to Australia. Asked a couple of CE.org member for help but just won't work. Caused so much trouble for me.

Are the assassins creed sealed or like new? The price is actually quite reasonable since codex and black edition itself cost 80% of that amount. More if it is sealed

Cheshire-Grin · #15 01-14-2014, 08:42 AM

Japan's meant to be amazing, right? How did you find it? My cousin is there right now, he said he'd maybe bring me back some Pokemon stuff. I'm planning on going Christmas 2015, my I.T job gets really slow at Christmas time, so it's the easiest time for me to get off.

Do you or anyone else here go to EB Expo? I'm planning on going this year, with a close friend I have in Sydney.

Ugg....The UI was one of the things bothering me. I was hoping that it would be easy to navigate, but it was Microsoft

I didn't have high hopes. Apparently, though, setting your Xbox One's region as US unlocks a load more features, including the ability to use Hulu and Netflix.

Ah. I'll have to take note not to get blacklisted myself. There's too many exclusives at Gamestop. Did you ever get it sorted out?

The guy said some were sealed and the others were like new, and that the codes hadn't been redeemed. I'm definitely going to buy them, in that case, I'd already pretty much told the guy I'd pick them up the start of February.

Hello, grats on Tales of Xillia and Bravely Default CEs. Heard there were only 200 or less made in the UK of Bravely Default CE. (It's even hard to find an in-store copy of Bravely Default of the game itself in Melbourne!)

Don't worry! WE GET SCREW ON JUST ABOUT ANY COOL PRE-ORDERS! (AND PRICES!)

Cheshire-Grin · #17 02-10-2014, 06:33 AM

Partial update, just going to list my preorders this time. I'm really starting to hate the waiting game, though.

Spoiler!

Also thought I'd share some Pokemon fanart a friend drew for me, the first contains my OC and the second my OC and Cynthia ( Mild NSFW warning ) :

Spoiler!

Sorry for the late reply, been on internet hiatus for a while, other than ordering things.

I realized that Tales of Xillia and Bravely Default were going to be pretty hard to find, they both sold out pretty much with a day or two of being available fro preorder. So I'm glad I managed to get them. TESO: Imperial Edition was worse though. I upgraded my order of that at 9:01 the morning it was announced, and it was sold out about 4-5 hours later.

The only CEs I can think of that Aus got that were better than the US were Bravely Default, inFamous Second Son, Thief, and Watch Dogs.

And prices are just ridiculous.

Letrico · #19 02-10-2014, 06:47 AM

Chesire do you want ToS US CE with steelbook?

Cheshire-Grin · #20 02-10-2014, 07:18 AM

Wait, there was an edition that came with a steelbook?
Why did I not know this

Is it still available for preorder, Letrico, because I'd love it if it is?
