Thank you for the soundtrack goodie^^

As for CEs, I thought there was more than just Rorona that didn't make it to Canada... I never did understand WHY Gamestop decided not to bring it either, since I heard both Neptune and AT3 got boxed releases. I just know many companies never like to give Canada fair treatment. At least, websites that stream tv shows are getting better, being the same region and all.

Yea I don't get it either. The only potential reason I could think of was they got more preorders for Rorona in the US than they ordered from NISA and they decided to keep them all in the states to fill those preorders first, but who knows really.

What made this worse is that I always order LE NISA titles directly from NISA, but even they weren't offering the boxed LE of Rorona because of an exclusivity deal with Gamestop. The story has a happy ending though because I was able to secure a boxed Rorona LE from another site that somehow had copies of the boxed LE. Plus it seems they listened to fan feedback because as you said, both Neptune and AT3 were available worldwide in the boxed LE format. From what I've seen so far Disgaea 4 and Totori will follow the same trend which makes me really happy.

Anyway, I'm derailing this thread hardcore so I'll shush now!

Some of the experiences listed in this thread are why we try not to offer separate pre-order bonuses anymore and always try to package it into the box instead. Though we can offer odd-sized things that would be extremely difficult to package into a box (like the Onii dolls for Little King's Story), so many of them end up not getting into the hands of the intended people that it's just not worth it. Really sucks getting mails from people that pre-ordered our games but couldn't get their pre-order bonus for whatever reason, a little bit of us dies each time we hear that.

^ Yeah, I'm really glad guys like you and Atlus changed how preorder bonuses work! I figured reasons like the above is why things changed. I like it better this way AND you usually get a fancy box to go with it^^ Just... as long as you don't go the cheapy route like EA and give us digital codes for the songs -__-' That's just a pain and it never feels like you're actually getting anything extra! I LOVE my soundtracks with pretty art both on the case and on the disk itself!! I have a shelf that's VERY full of preorder bonus soundtracks^^ Fortunately, ones that come in boxes are even easier to store!

The Onii dolls were an interesting ordeal for me personally. I'm not sure if just Amazon did it this way, but they basically had the Onii shrink-wrapped onto the back of the Little King's Story case. When my order came in, the back of the game case and the disc itself had completely warped to the curvature of the Onii. I returned it and had a replacement sent out, got the same problem, returned it again after an hour of explaining it to the sales rep., and got the same thing a third time where luckily the disc had been only slightly warped and was playable after flattening the disc with heavy books. I can definitely see how some extra goodies are indeed packaging challenges...

Anyways, just wanted to offer my thanks for the Solotaorobo soundtrack as well, can't wait to give it a listen and play the game!

[SplatterTrigger]

It seems we all have a tale to tell about Gamestop lol. Anyways XSEED I truly appreciate the inclusion of the soundtrack!

[LunarCharm]

It was exciting enough to learn Solatorobo was being worked on, and the added soundtrack bonus is really great news as well. Thank you, XSEED!
