Apparently kingsaul has a copy.  ;D

Apparently that's all kingsaul has.

kingsaul, if you're reading this, please direct me to the dimensional rift where you found this game. If I'm lucky, I might be able to find copies of Thrill Kill, Sadness or the English version of the original Mother there. I would be forever in your debt.

Hey, while he's there, ask him to pick me up a Dreamcast 2.

Hah!

While he's picking-up your Dreamcast 2 - kindly ask him to pick me up a copy of Shadowhearts 4...I mean, I've been waiting for it...for ages :(

He must be high (on some Laudanum, or something:)  :o

I'm never going to escape this, am I?  ::)

I've seen a number of unreleased games in people's collections. I'm not sure if they mean to put it on their wishlist or they just add them since they know they are going to buy them if they ever get released. I can't remember all of the titles off hand but just search upcoming games and you'll find them:

... Some of those games sound really interesting. I'll have to look into those. Regardless, placing a game that's never been released in your collection is... kinda dumb.  :P Adding something to your wish list is another story.

You have a very...unique user-name :)

Any interesting (back)story to it?!

I just noticed Wii Fit U doesn't have a release date.

There's a story behind it, but it's not very interesting. Growing up, a friend of mine decided "Doctor" would be the perfect nickname for me. I haven't the slightest clue why, as I never expressed any interest in medical science and was generally something of a braindead spaz, but it somehow stuck, even after we drifted apart. The "laudanum" half is just there because I like the word. It's not a reference to Amnesia, as many people think.

My stories are just so very riveting, I know.  ;D

@Dr.L -

That's actually quite a *Laudable* back-story, compared to my non-existent one!

With a (plain, generic, and *very* self-explanatory) user-name myself - I really don't have much room to talk  :o

I also like the word "Laudanum"...and, for that matter...I like the word "Absinthe", too :P

(Kind of a quick, 'free-association' with/from the word "Laudanum")...Hmm...now I'm thinking..."Wormwood" & "Dilaudid" (*NOT*) "Diluted":), too  :-\

Guess it all makes sense...kinda'...in my *unique* mind it does, at least  8)

My guess is those people have pre-orders pending, and rather than leave them in the wishlist, they just opted to move them to their collections. That's what I tend to do, anyway. I'd suggested we have an "on order" list for occasions like that, but it didn't seem to gain much interest.

Can you pre-order a game that doesn't even have a release date listed yet?

Actually, you can in some cases. Particularly with Amazon, they'll often list games who have the specific date up in the air as coming out on December 31st of a given year, but you can pre-order them - sometimes at a nice $10-20 discount if you get in at the right time.

Unfortunately, yes :(

I've had The Last Guardian pre-ordered now for (*Literally*); YEARS...
