Sorry to butt in but I have exciting news - there's going to be a physical limited edition for the Dungeons & Dragons re-releases (in Japan)!

Sadly, as bad as it can be for us Americans - I've heard that it can be even worse for our British & Aussie friends when it comes to what games they do/don't get, when they get them, and how much they can cost them :(

It's not too  bad in Britain at the moment, we only pay about 10 - 20% more. Australians though are paying $60+USD for $35USD games :o

We don't.  We get boxes that we can talk to.  These crazy boxes play TV shows and show our fantasy sports teams!

This is only if you live in Seattle, LA, or San Francisco. But of course, why live anywhere else? #DealWithIt
