Summon Night 6 has been pushed back. Vic discovered some broken content on the trial disks and is working to fix it. The changed date I saw was 6/27 I believe.

I went looking into this yesterday actually because I was curious when my CE was going to show up, and on the Gaijin Works forums Vic said there is no date at this point & any date posted is just a placeholder (I saw the 6/27 somewhere as well).

He is that. I bought something off of him on ebay years ago and he took forever to ship & got really defensive when I asked him what the holdup was. It didn't really surprise me when Atlus (and other smaller companies such as XSeed) started getting much bigger in the US & WD went away, honestly.

shipping kills the deal.  $7.99 shipping.  Ugh.

Weird that Paypal read the authorization as $0.50.

They won't charge full price until shipping for this pre-order, so they just have an authorization for a smaller amount. I agree about the shipping, though. I think that every time they have a sale.

Hmm...to get the PS4 version of finally hop on the Switch train...

[ignition365]

Toot! Toot!

If the Switch has a train, its the equivalent of Thomas versus the silver bullet that is the PS4.

Thomas is freaky AF...PS4 it is!

EDIT: I still haven't decided yet.

For stuff like this, Switch wins every time for me.  The pro controller is totally usable and the freedom to play off screen is cool.  And there is no way this game is going to have a noticeable hit in performance on the switch.

I was a bit skeptical myself of the Switch, but after playing my bf's Switch for Mario Kart and Puyo Puyo Tetris (both on a monitor and the console itself), I was sold. I still won't get my own console until it's necessary - for the time being, we can easily share the system. I like my PS4 RPGs, but it's definitely nice to have the chance to step away with it. Remote Play works all right but does me no good where there's no internet.

Eh, shipping is steep but they don't charge tax (which would be 10% for me, so $5) so it balances out somewhat. At any rate, I'm in for a physical edition - thanks for the heads up!   Will get this added to the OP in the next update (hopefully tomorrow!). 

EDIT: FYI, shipping does not go up if you add a second. This may help someone else out - I told a friend about getting the physical edition exclusively from Square & the shipping, and he asked if it would go up if we ordered 2 on one order & split the cost.
