Oh yeah, back on topic -

(Like Scott), I also received my "boxed" copy of EO IV in yesterday's mail :)

Hell, If I had *MY* way - both games would be released for both the PS3 & the PS4 simultaneously :)

PS3/PS4/Vita cross-play, so I CAN NEVER ESCAPE IT. Muahaha.

Nice = all bases covered, then  8)

Personally, as great of a system as I know that the Vita is, and as much as I like to blow $ on entertainment/non-essential things...it still needs some more games (RPG's & JRPG's, in particular) before I'll buy one!

Yeah, it's a tough call for a lot of people. I've been really happy with mine, but Gravity Rush is the only original title I've picked up so far - the rest have all been enhanced ports like Disgaea 3, Persona 4: Golden, etc.

My biggest gripe? Memory card pricing :/

Yeah, the high cost of the propietary memory cards isn't nudging me any closer to being in a rush to get one, either :(

That said, had I not already (*Re*)-played both Disgaea 3 & Persona 4 multiple times each...they would have both been more incentive for me to buy one sooner rather than later...

On a completely different note, when I added EO IV to the rest of my 3-DS games yesterday...I had a bit of a "WtF" moment when I realized that (not counting any multiple copies)...Etrian Odyssey 4 *only* makes 3-DS game # 15 for me...seems like I've been buying/collecting more games than *that* for it...but...I guess not :(

Has anyone here opened-up their copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening yet?

A friend of mine told me that it also came w/o a physical manual...W.T.F.'s going on?  >:(

I opened up my Fire Emblem as soon as it came (I have a bad habit of opening things and never leaving them sealed). It came with a Pamphlet, quarter folded. Kinda like a mini poster and half of it was in French...

But at least it came with some Advertising flyer and a Club Nintendo code. EOIV has NOT A DAMN THING IN IT.

Heh :)

I used to have the *very* same habit & tear into & open everything up as soon as I'd get it  ???

Now...99% of the time...I'll keep *everything* sealed - right up until I'm ready to pop the game into a system  8)

I found Black Belt and Space Harrier for Master System, both CIB (carts in great shape, manuals not so much) for $3 total.

I've been starting to go that route, esp since I have so little time these days to actually play things.  Kinda nice to keep 'em minty fresh, especially if they become rare-ish and I find a decently priced used copy that I can play without feeling like I'm messing with a potential investment.

I've thought about doing that, but usually wind up ripping off the packaging out of fear that the shrinkwrap will wind up sticking to stuff, or a security sticker will wind up tearing a piece of the cover that's sticking up too far. Paranoia O.O
