This arrived earlier today!

I know there's been a lot of negative buzz about it online buuut that hasn't dampened my hype. When it comes to Bioware stuff in particular I have to judge for myself & they haven't let me down yet. Heck, if I like it even a tenth as much as the other ME games then it'll be well worth it
Not been able to play it yet since other people are hogging the TV </3
SOON!

 

[LegendX48]

comic books and comic books and comic books

bought NYX because, F it, why not? lol

 

[WormBoi]

Got it this morning!

Here is where I found the wallpaper that goes so well with the color.

Bonus cat pic!

You and me both my man

Picked this up with the Steelbook from Best Buy a few days ago but just got around to taking a picture today

 

[Mathi]

Artorias from F4F arrived today and I finally managed to find a Switch!

 

[PflargBlarg]

Actually have a pickup today.

After playing Metal Gear Rising with keyboard/mouse I realized I needed an actual controller for games like these. Thought I might as well splurge so I went for the custom xbox one s controller from Xbox Design Lab.

Wow that figure is badass. Huge too!

 

[righthandmouse]

[cj_iwakura]

Went to the only mom'n'pop gaming shop I know of looking for Persona 5... no dice.

They did have this, though:

($10)

The soundtrack for this is UNFAIR.

Looks awesome!
I was thinking of getting the steelbook but figured getting the game at release, the collectors edition guide & the deluxe upgrade (well, whenever that's available) was enough to spend on it at once aha

Saying that, my guide arrived this morning. Wont be reading it until I've beaten the game though

 

[KDash31987]

Picked up the Disney Store exclusive Darth Vader figure for my birthday this past Sunday.

Picked up True Lies the next day at Walmart for $5. I got it on DVD since there's on Blu-ray release yet. Haven't watched it in like 20+ years.

And I just picked up the Sony STR-DH550 5.2 surround sound receiver today at Best Buy. It sounds great so far. Much better than the old Sony MHC-BX6AV I was using, which only supported Pro Logic. I also had a Sony DAV-S300, but it was having problems, so I switched to using that other one. But this new one is so much nicer than anything else I've ever used. I also used a Panasonic 5.1 system (don't remember the model right now) for a while, which my older brother still uses.

Picked up True Lies the next day at Walmart for $5. I got it on DVD since there's on Blu-ray release yet. Haven't watched it in like 20+ years.

Man, I haven't watched that movie in a good, long while. Shame it's not on BluRay, I loved it. I'm pretty sure I remember reading on IGN back in like 2000-ish that James Cameron was going to make True Lies 2 with Schwarzenegger but big guy was busy with Terminator 3. I hated Terminator 3 before it even came out!

Dammit! You can't even rent it on Amazon! ...tF?

Saying that, my guide arrived this morning. Wont be reading it until I've beaten the game though

How's the art in the book? I have the hardcover guides for 2 and 3 (and the hardcover artbook or something like that for 1), but I'm really not sure I want to get it for Andromeda.

.

That Donnie figure is way cool! I keep wanting to quote the movie but I keep coming up with Raf...

 

[Ossom]

Artorias from F4F arrived today and I finally managed to find a Switch!

Amazing statue. Where can I get one?

 

[illusionary]

Slightly delayed Switch accessories:

Playing with Power! to supplement my NES Classic Mini:

But not forgetting that the PS4 and Xbox One still exit, here's Halo Wars 2 (+ 3 month' Gold, from a bundle offer), Batman: Return to Arkham, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness Limited Edition (SteelBook) and Star Wars: Battlefront:

And finally, my first purchase from play-asia, with The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concerrt CD+DVD set:

 

[InsaneFandom]

How's the art in the book? I have the hardcover guides for 2 and 3 (and the hardcover artbook or something like that for 1), but I'm really not sure I want to get it for Andromeda.

I'm kinda spoiler sensitive so I've only quickly flicked through, from what I saw it's mostly screenshots but there is some cool artwork too
I'd say it's pretty comparable to the ME2 collectors guide I have (minus the comic), but with the artwork more spread throughout the book instead of pretty much all being in a bonus section at the back - though there is a section at the back with developers interviews & concept art. There's only a few pages in the book that are just art though

I really like the art that's in there but I'm not sure if I'd recommend buying the book just for it - quantity is a little lacking, especially since the book is huge. Might be better to wait for the artbook

Here's a couple pics to give you an idea (sorry for the poor quality, old phone + bad lighting)

Damn dude. Thanks for looking for me, I was just kinda hoping you already flicked through and I hope you didn't spoil yourself on anything.

Yeah, I'll probably just wait. If I want this I bet it'll be available for a good while unlike something like the Dark Souls/ Bloodborne/ Zelda collectors' edition guide books.

Playing with Power! to supllemnt my NES Classic Mini:

Okay: next book question, lol!

Just curious... Does this version of the book contain an overworld map for the original Legend of Zelda? I have the one that comes with the slip that looks like a cartridge, and it's just missing. It has like a header for it and everything, it's just not there. I wonder if they fixed that in the other versions or the later printings.

 

[chekhonte]

I found this cabinet at ikea that works well enough to hold my systems. I also have other stuff that doesn't need to be in a cabinet like a switch, 3ds, gaming pc et al.

I have way too much game stuff.

No worries, I couldn't resist flicking through anyway
Yeah I don't see it becoming rare or anything.

 

[MrS]

da fuq is that creepy head thing? What, if anything, is it supposed to look like?

I love that you posted that photo and didn't explain the head like there aren't going to be a dozen posts asking about the head!

 

[Mathi]

Amazing statue. Where can I get one?

I got the last one from a local retailer, but I think you can still order it on the F4F website.

It's a headphone stand.

It sounds like your buying plans are mirroring mine I had this on pre-order under a few days ago, but yep, I can see it being one that remains available and drops in price.

Horizon: Zero Dawn appears to be another matter entirely... Amazon (UK) still don't have a date for mine to dispatch, despite it being a pre-order, placed fairly well in advance. For that matter, I don't see why the release date was delayed from that of the game itself in the first place!

Sadly not, at least not where you're referring to (there's a very small version on page 129) - I was actually looking at that myself only last night and it's certainly an unfortunate omission. AFAIK, all copies of the book are identical, so this won't be any different from the slipcover version..

I'm still waiting for the Zelda Breath of the Wild Deluxe Edition guide. Apparently it got pushed back to 11April. I really want to get that one because it looks like all the others in the collectors' edition line thing.

Thanks for answering my question. That's so disappointing that it's been left out in all copies of the book. Such a strange thing that it was left out. I never beat the first Zelda and I was going to use the book to find out where the dungeons were. From what I remember some of them were in weird places. Guess I'll just Google Bing it (I haven't gotten a gift card from them in a good while now).

 

[eXistor]

Finally able to post again! (account issues due to old inactive email). Thanks to Stumpokapow for fixing it!

Anyway, here's some stuff I got these last 2 weeks.

 

[illusionary]

The original release date for the Deluxe Edition wasn't until 31 March, so I wasn't expecting to have received it by now, but I'd not seen the delay until looking just now - thanks for the heads-up. Once again, your thinking with getting this version is in line with mine!

Amazon UK are saying 24-26 April for mine to arrive; Amazon US don't have a date... so long as one of them comes good, I'll be happy!

No worries - and yep, agreed, it's an odd omission. I've played the original Legend of Zelda many years ago, but despite being a *huge* Zelda fan, couldn't swear actually to have beaten it.... so I'm looking to rectify that, and do Zelda II while I'm at it! I'm actually playing on 3DS at the moment rather than my NES Classic Mini.

 

[babyshaq90]

Got all these on clearance at Walmart. Didn't need but figured they were cheap enough to purchase!

You've now got me looking at Amazon's listings for Ori... seems that I managed to miss a run of cheap pricing by just a couple of days. Price watch set up... hopefully I'll be lucky and see a drop again before too long!

 

[BluenoseGames]

Pickups for this month:

Horizon Zero Dawn, my favourite new IP in awhile, well done Guerilla.
Arrival, my favourite film of last year and the cover art is horrible

I don't have a date for an estimate in my orders or anything, there's just 11 April next to the item name on Amazon's page that makes me think that's the new release date. Yeah, I remember that it used to say 31 March, but I always kinda hoped that it was like a placeholder date and I'd get it earlier in the month lol.

I was just looking around when I was at Walmart this morning and was considering on getting that Ori and the Blind Forest. It wasn't in the clearance bin though, so I didn't get it. I probably would've gotten that NES Remix if I saw it for five clams, too. I dunno why though, I don't really like it.

(I already have Ori and the Blind Forest, just not a physical copy. I bought it on Xbox One and the definitive edition upgrade or whatever it was and bought it twice just checked - correction: three times to give away as gifts through steam.)

 

[JEKKI]

awwwww yeayyyyy pump up the jams!

 

[DevilTakoyaki]

My very first Ver.Ka Gunpla.

And... P5 is HERE!

 

[maskrider]

Finally got my PS4 Pro

 

[Auron_Kale]

Catching up on posting some recent pick-ups. Not pictured is Rez Infinite, which I bought digitally.

REI x Hydro Flask:

Virtually ran the Scottsdale Giant Race on March 4th and received my goodies:

Some much needed socks and storage for my PS4 thanks to the recent update:

Had some fun and decided to take these last two photos with my iPhone 5S while the other photos were from my 6S+:

 

[Balboa]

You are right, the cover looks like one of those awful blu-ray triple packs with 3 random movies.

 

[Stronginthearm]

Bought a 2DS case, a case for my phone and a bag with pikachu on it.

Edit: Also bought some digital games. Dragon Quest on droid and then Yakuza 5 and Flower and Tactics Ogre on PSN.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Got it this morning!

(Super sexy RED Edition iPhone 7 plus a cute cat)

... I want to return to iPhone this year. Especially if the next one has a RED edition right at launch. Love my Nexus 6P and feel that Project Fi in my area performs well, but man, I miss having an Apple device as my main... And that color is just so gorgeous.

Back to T-Mobile and iPhone this year, unless Pixel 2 goes back to being VERY competitively priced and knocks my socks off.

 

[dvdjamm]

So I had no idea this even existed but I just got it today:

Interesting story behind it! So I went to GameStop earlier today just to look around when I noticed this out of nowhere in the Wii aisle. First of all I had absolutely no idea that there was Dragon's Lair Trilogy collection for the Wii so it immediately grabbed my attention. Second, I was surprised at the price being higher than I thought it would be. I wanted to buy it but decided to check ebay to see the prices there. It ranged from 50 to 75! Best part is the employee gave me a discount so at the end I played 18 dollars for it! Came with the manual and the disc was in near perfect condition. I'll finally get a chance to try this series.

That case for the 2ds is great. Had one for mine when i had it.

 

[eXistor]

Managed to find a LE Arts & Artifacts for retail price, so I jumped on that. Now I have both this one and the normal one. I'm gonna leave this one sealed and use the other to look in.

 

[illusionary]

On the day of the official reveal of the S8, I finally got my next Galaxy S7 Edge:

(strictly it's still the property of my employer, but I have exclusive use).

 

[jayvo]

Walked into my Best Buy today and seen that they had 6 of these in stock!

 

[Nesther]

Aww yeah, got it slightly earlier!

 

[Jeff6851]

After nearly 6 years I finally got a new laptop

 

[AlfaTrion]

I'm super late but here are my Feb pickups!

I got a gold medal from Extra-Life for raising about $6,200 USD for my local children's hospital!

My GF got me a GoPro Hero 5 Black Edition for xmas/bday and I finally had a chance to use it in Feb

A couple of game pickups:

And we went to Banff for our annual big snowboarding trip where I proposed to my girlfriend of 4 years in the middle a frozen lake (Lake Louise) between two mountains.

I was being too careful and didn't take a pic of the ring incase it was found by my SO since we live together. Maybe I'll get a pic for y'al next thread!

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

And finally, my first purchase from play-asia, with The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concerrt CD+DVD set:

Im presuming because of your uk games you are uk based?

I didnt think play asia shipped to uk - did someone get it for you or if they do ship to uk, did you get hit by import / customs duty?

 

[JMZ555]

Finally picked up a new projector. Also grabbed GOT S6 for a rewatch. Now time for some DS3 and Overwatch @120"

 

[illusionary]

Yep, shipped to the UK, no customs hit.- they ship pretty much worldwide: https://www.play-asia.com/info/helpshippingoptions

This was using airmail (offered for free at the time), which I gather has a fairly low risk of being picked up by customs - very different from if using a specialist courier who would declare everything as a matter of course,

 

[Apt101]

I got a few other miscellaneous things, but this is all that matters this month.
