Re: Your newest purchase (4 years ago)
I apologise for not +'ing all of your wonderful purchases over the time, but I've kinda been packing ready for my big move.

Anyway...

I too just pre orderd Final fantasy VII: Advent children complete w FFXIII Demo - 7000 yen.

Going to rock.
I just recently reviewed this game on the iPod and judging by the review I say that the ipod version is far superior.

Sadly the ipod version shares the same repeatability as the DS version.

Overall the ipod version feels like a more 6.5 - 7.8 score wise.

The DS version just looks shithouse quite frankly. (pardon my french)

Re: Your newest purchase (4 years ago)
Well I'm moving from my cave into an abyss, so I had to get rid of some stuff.

Traded some things into gametraders and got enough credit to get my layby off.....but we already know about that one so I'll post the stuff I got from the rest of my credit.

Space pirate captain Herlock box set
Tom goes to the mayor complete collection
Sonic unleashed - 360 - for review which you can check out at *Advertising link removed, DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN RAHHHHHHHHH*

Its not as bad as I was expecting, feels like a 6.5 game rather than a 4.

Overall it only really cost my own soul which I have a backpile of anyway.

Re: Your newest purchase (4 years ago)

Well I bought it off ebay for about $37AU + $10 post.
It is most likely a direct port of the HD DVD version.
It has the theatrical version of the film + the bad ending as a special feature.
About how it looks, it probably just looks like an upscaled DVD but I don't care about that, I just wanted a version with both endings and its hell of a lot cheaper than the boomstick edition.
Re: Your newest purchase (4 years ago)
My Egames saving is going better than I expected as I had some extra cash which let me buy one of the most awesome blu rays ever.



Now I need a blu ray release of evil dead 1 as I have dead by dawn.
