I'm thinking of getting rid of mine, cos as much as i bloody love the franchise I don;t know if i can justify having this sat around, it's still sealed (I had already imported the US HD remakes to play and bought a GOW3 off a mate for £5 to play that instead)
Might be able to come to a reasonable deal

Also, dunno if any of you are intested in this, but I might be (very regrettably) shifting on my Yakuza 4 Ichiban Box, depends on offers though (It's this if you haven't seen one before)


I couldn't offer you a reasonable price for either this month, completely wiped out mate :D That Yakuza set is gorgeous

Well it's not going anywhere at the moment so if you really wanted it i can hold it

The yakuza set is really cool, took some work to get hold of it, and i absolutely love the series (hence acquiring it) but It's teetering on the edge of how i've reevaluated my mountains of stuff, so possibly ought to go

Is that a PAL Yakuza set or some sort of press kit? The steelbook edition of 4 was hard enough to get hold of so I didn't expect there to be another special release.

Im a little disappointed with the size of the "artbook". For a game with such beautiful artwork its a shame its so small and thin.. Other than that its a really nice set. Glad i didnt have to pay the original £86 it started off at on zavvi though
I asked for orange. It gave me lemon lime!

The Last Story looks great, just a shame about those stupid USK ratings, why do they have to be so large and on both boxes?

Anyway here's some pictures and an unboxing video for those Mario themed 3DSs.

Now I've played it, I really am going to fold and by the Driver SF collector's edition I think....it's 24 quid on Amazon, only two quid more than the normal edition!

I often see them in Game and think to myself 'Who actually buys these things?' Now I know :D

I take my hat off to you guys for collecting them, I wish I had the space to get a few myself.
