Three packages just arrived this week. As usual, I had totally forgotten their existence.<\/p>\n
Apparently some time during the past few months, I found it within me the sudden urge to preorder both the PS2 and PSP Haruhi game releases, despite the fact that I didn’t actually own a PSP at that point of time. (I do now.) Wow, this is sort of like receiving a belated birthday present from an unknown stranger who broke into my bank account to pay for it.<\/p>\n More pictures after the break.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The figurine that comes with Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi<\/strong><\/a> (PS2) is pretty damn crappy. I’ve seen better gachapon then this sad pathetic excuse for a collectible. Okay, so it’s not that<\/em> bad, and I’m keeping it in its packaging anyway so it makes no difference. Feh.<\/p>\n The preorder-only disc that comes with the PS2 game is pretty cool. It’s basically the Hare Hare Yukai dance done in full three dee. It’s not long now before cel-shading filters supersede 2D completely. I had of course already seen the dance video on YouTube<\/a> beforehand, but whatever.<\/p>\n Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku<\/strong><\/a> (PSP) comes in a packaging that totally looks like there’s a PSP inside, but there isn’t. It’s just a bunch of useless trinkets made by underpaid labour that will break within five seconds if you ever attempt to ever use them. I just keep mine in their bubble wraps.<\/p>\n Surprsingly, it seems that I actually bought the new Gundam 00 first press singles even though, according to some, I hate the show and shouldn’t be blogging about it. This must be some kind of terrible mistake!<\/p>\n Ash Like Snow<\/strong><\/a> first press comes with Allelujah’s ID card and Friends<\/strong><\/a> first press comes with Tieria’s ID card. Unfortunately (or perhaps thankfully) you won’t get to see how they look like here, because I have a policy of not opening my CDs. Japanese labels could sell me nicely-packaged blank CD-Rs and I wouldn’t ever find out. Then again, not pressing the CD probably doesn’t save Sony that<\/em> much money, so I’ll trust them on this.<\/p>\n Friends also comes with a B2 poster that uses the same illustration of Setsuna as the back of the jewel case.<\/p>\n I guess I’ll just go set the CDs on fire now since apparently I hate G00 very much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three packages just arrived this week.
