My Tales of Xillia 2 CE was delievered today...on a Sunday.   

I'm not complaining, mind you, but that's really weird! 

Picture?

Sorry, couldn't get one last night (I was thinking of doing a quick unboxing video, but lighting in my house sucks for video).  I'll try to snap a pic tonight assuming I don't forget. 

EDIT: Oh, and Burning - VG&CE was my favorite magazine in middle school / high school.  I actually just sold my collection of it earlier this year, I had all of the VG&CE issues except for #1 & half of one of the other years.  Then I had about a year or so of it after the name changed, but it wasn't as good then.

Some actual physical finds today!


Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter (PC) - $2
Vietnam: Black Ops (Valusoft jewel case rerelease) (PC) - $2

Bounty Hunter has four CDs in a three disc DVD case. Bleh. At least I replaced my copy of this, I bought the game for PS2 at a Gamestop and returned it the next day. They didn't want to give me a refund.

I made a rather large trade over the weekend. I didn't have to get rid of anything of real value but a few good games had to go, thankfully mostly doubles. I did lose FFX and FFXII though, but they will be easy to replace. I think it was about 20 games. But here is what I got:






Continued in part two......

Nice score. Especially the gun. Those are hard to find.

OK, finally getting those Xillia 2 CE pics up - sorry it took so long.    Click the pics for a larger view:

The box, next to the Xillia 1 CE box for comparison.  To the far left you can see the side of the Symphonia CE box. 

IMG_4129
Full-sized hardback artbook (about 70 pages), plush & box that the watch replica is in.

IMG_4130
Closed view of the top of the watch replica.  I didn't take a pic of it, but the other side has "Tales of Xillia 2" etched into it.  Down below is the velvet pouch you can store it in.

IMG_4131
Opened watch replica.  The bottom part is a mirror, in case that isn't obvious from the photo.

IMG_4132
Ludger statue, front view.  Very nice detail IMO.

IMG_4133
...and the back/side view.

IMG_4134
Finally a comparison pic w/ the Milla statue that came with the Xillia 1 CE.  As you can see they are the same scale & have similar bases - they make for a very cool matched set.

I had this game back in the day. Definitely a budget-title. His weird punch-attack is almost like a dance, lol.

There's a PC version at GOG, I thought I already owned it but I didn't. So I grabbed this one 'cause why the hell not, right?

'cause why the hell not, right?

Sadly, this has been the reasoning for many games that were added to my collection.

You're not the only one.
