Oh god. If this wasn't blocked at work, i would totally impulse buy onee champara chan 360... i'm guessing it'd be region free. OH GOD IS IDOL M@STER REGION FREE?!

Slagmire

Out of curiosity, as I saw some from the site -- do the Japanese PSPs play American released games?

Jragghen

Can you preorder at the discounted prices?

yes, but iirc, play-asia won't ship sony goods outside of asia, coz of sony sueing lik-sang for massive damage (might just be europe though)

Einhander

Holy crap holy crap.

Actually, I asked them about it before I made a post here, but if it's true, it makes Slagmire a sad little boy.

Just posted this on Platformers -- I love Play-Asia. This tempts me like I haven't been tempted since ... oh, who am I kidding, I buy shit all the time. But this is awesome. DJ Max Portable for $39? I'm so, well, tempted.

Also, this needs more play:

Einhander

I just have to be sure not to spend too much on this sale, or else I'm gonna be living in the box it ships in.

LewieP

They'll ship Sony goods to the U.S., I would imagine. They definitely don't ship Sony stuff to Europe though, since (as we've mentioned) they don't want to suffer the same fate as lik-sang.

Are there any schmups for the ps2 that are noteworthy? I don't know any japanese, so games that require little knowledge would be awesome.

Silpheed is really good.

Gihgehls

For anyone wondering, Japanese Gamecube component cables work on american HD sets.

bruin

Fuck fuck fuck, I need to order Coloris and Boundish to complete my Bit Generations collection.

And I need Rhythm Tengoku badly.

Fuck money

cj iwakura

IIDX 12 HappySky = $53.xx

Tempting.

It's only got like three or four songs I really like though. I'd probably just want it for Xepher, Agnus Dei, SigSig, and Garden.
Well, unless I can unlock Dawn-The Next Endeavor- without much trouble.

Einhander

I've heard good things about Starfighter Sanvein

looks cool too -


it's USA format and dirt cheap too (PSone tho)

Ah_Pook

ive got a japanese ps2 and a bunch of shmups sitting in my cart

im trying to rationally evaluate my financial standings in a way that allows me to go through with this but im running into problems

LewieP

you'll be dead one day, you want to have not played all those shmups?

Ronen

Woot, picked up Coloris, Digidrive and Orbital... sadly they're already out of Soundvoyager. That's the only one I need to complete the collection.

Kyougu

Why couldn't this be next week? Then I could pick up Narutime Accel for a cheaper price!?

corcorigan

Will an Asian copy of Gears of War play on a British (PAL) console (assuming yes), and will it play on Xbox Live (assuming maybe)?

LewieP

it will definately play on a UK console, and I have no reason to beleive it would not play on live too. However, a quick google has not resulted in a hard and fast yes. Anyone else know?

Save your money, neither are region-free.

Nintendo Puzzle Collection and Kuru Kuru Squash are even cheaper than they were before - with a Freeloader included, it looks to be about $40 shipped. That's...not too bad.

Dirty

Anyone know the difference between a Liquid Crystal Filter and a Protection Filter for the DS Lite? Aside from from $4. (Bonus Round: Will screen protectors for the DS Lite fit the old DS?)

battledrill

Oh snaps is a new Naruto out for Gamecube?

LewieP

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 is the newest one.

Price: US$ 64.90 (~33.32 GBP), its still not cheap, but I imagine thats the cheapest you will find it priced at for a long time.

The bottom screen protector is the same, but the top one is different.

It's not discounted. That's the normal price.

LewieP

My mistake. Double checking, it seems it's not currently in stock, its available within 7 days.

Obviously stuff that is in stock at the supplier, but not in play-asia's warehouse is excluded.

ikillkenny

So what are the best two or so bit generations games? I've never really heard of them, but a Nintendo published Japan-only game in English for $10-$20 is pretty much a no-brainer to buy.

Slagmire

So... very... tempting.... new color PSP...

SageinaRage

The site says the sale doesn't start til tomorrow...so people aren't actually ordering stuff yet, right?

Thats why they get the best TeeVee's

The mere concept of Soundvoyager blows my mind, but that's out of stock. I have Orbital, which is very cool and serene in a pared-down Katamari Damacy kind of way -- you start as a small planet and have to navigate orbital and gravitational fields to either suck up smaller planets into you or get them to orbit around you. A increases your gravity pull and B decreases it.

I've also heard nothing but love for Dotstream, which is something of a racing game but that has a rhythm vibe to it, too.
