Latest Purchases

I'm on Holiday in Florida at the moment. This means I must buy as many electronics as I can since everything is sooooooo cheap here.

Kindle!

And some SkullCandy headphones. These are the ones which can fold up.

Should be an interesting read on how copyright is abused, particularly by those who demand it most.

Finally got 'round to buying myself Okamiden.

Looking forward to playing it.

About €8 is way too much for a normal set of playing cards, but these are worth every penny!

3DS battery :

User feedback on the Nintendo-Life forums was generally favorable about this specific model. It doesn't bring the increase in battery life that you would expect from a 5000mAh, but still increases it by approx. 250%, which is not negligible. The major complain was that it "feels" cheap in the way the back cover is designed. Also some people complained about the bulk it adds to the system, but I have no complains about that. If anything I find the system too slim for my hands to begin with (I've grown used to playing with a DS Phat for 6 years so I'd actually like it to feel bigger in my hands).

Also bought this for my smart phone :

Class 10 16GB Micro SDHC card. 17€.

And lastly :

Far East of Eden II: Manjimaru. Last time I tried to import that one, the package arrived empty and someone had stolen the contents. Hopefully this time, I won't have that problem.

Why is Jet Black the star of that game?

I live in Belgium, and since that's where the seller is, shipping was free for me. I'm pretty sure you could find some even cheaper cards on there, from UK sellers (I can't order from UK sellers because none accepts bank transfer as payment method though, so I chose what was cheapest for me instead)

Thanks to Az for convincing me to get this with his review of the 3DS game. I seriously need to stop buying more games now or I'll be broke very soon, but I'm too late with that as I pre-ordered Pandora's Tower too and will be getting that on Monday.

Finally got Xenoblade & am THOUROUGHLY enjoying it. I'm a bit over 30 hours in & have killed the Telethia with Riki (not in my party but just showing how far I am) my next NEXT purchase is Spirit Camer which comes out on *gasp* Friday the 13th!! No way that release date was a coincidence, heh nice marketing strategy.

Oh Yeah! Only 49€!

Speaking of which, European gamers seem to have THIS to look forward to, if they registered Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower on Club Nintendo :

Why does Nintendo NOT love the United States anymore...T_T

I got the message earlier , so I'm elligible for this . However, there are some reports from French users who registered their game BEFORE Friday the 13th (because they got their copy early) and they didn't get the message upon registering their copy. Mind you... Retailers AREN'T SUPPOSED to sell their copies before the launch date, so Nintendo has all the rights to do this, I guess.

New north face grey fleece in the Blacks sale.

I bought Icarus, and then sold it three days later.

Metal Gear t shirts went on sales today, and made my day!

2 Tickets to see The Avengers (I'm ignoring the stupid title it's getting over here) for next week.

...hold on, its actually going to be called Avengers Assemble?! Thought that tv advert was just a placeholder or something.

I'm just really hoping that there is a sequel.

Unfortunately not. Apparently it's to avoid confusion between a film about Captain America, Thor, Hulk,Iron Man, Hawkeye and Black Widow, and an old TV Show/90s film with spies. I would have gone with Marvels The Avengers, but what do I know.

And I think there will be sequels - Chris Evans is contracted for 6 films, and Samuel L Jackson was contracted for 9. Also sequels to 3 of the 4 lead in films are in the works.
