Okay...
...So, I'm gonna' go ahead & consider these items "
Pre-ordered and/or Waiting for" -And- blame it all on my g/f's excitement (read: complete inability to keep a secret:)
You see; my B-Day is next week (on the 25th).
*Personally* - I love to wait until the B-Day itself to actually give the gift (
W/O the person having any idea of what it may be in advance), so I can see their looks/tears of wonder, excitement, shock, amazement, surprise, and/or...disappointment -hey- it happens. Tbqh...I kinda' thought of that as "The Protocol"
However (within ONE HOUR) of ordering some of my B-Day gifts/items...my g/f (unable to keep it to herself -but- then again, her overflowing & genuine - sometimes almost childish displays of impatience joy & happiness *ARE* some of the things that I actually LIKE about the girl:); tells me what I'm getting...*Because*..."
she just couldn't help herself, keep it to herself, and/or wait *that* long.
So...it turns out that I'll be getting the
VITA set (new), the one that got the price-drop to $199.99, a big paperback
The art of Disgaea art book + another similar art book "The Art of" (Disgaea's main artist(s); man, does she know my tastes
At any rate - since I can't see any sense whatsoever to own a system w/o any games to play on it -and- since I had $20 worth of store credit for Nisa's on-line store...I just went ahead and ordered
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention for it
*NOT*, mind you, that I'll be playing it anytime in the near future (after I finish Disgaea D-2: A Brighter Darkness), it will be (at least) a few months before I do anything Disgaea-related again...
...then again...my
Guided Fate Paradox LE's (not to mention my
PS4) should be arriving (and getting played) pretty damned close to the time that I'm finishing up D-2!
Good times
