This must have been added only in the last few hours, as first thing this morning when I checked I’m sure it wasn’t on the Sega Direct site. Big thanks to Aspartate for pointing it out to me 😉
Both recent Shining releases have had deluxe (DX) packages available exclusively through Sega Direct, and Neo is no exception.
The basic package includes the game, a promotional DVD and some memory card stickers and is being sold through SD at 6,120 yen (about US$60), while the DX package sells for a whopping 9,800 yen (about US$98!) but also includes an SF neo T-shirt and a fancy looking keychain, not to mention the fancy box the game and goodies will come in.
Now, that’s all very well and good… but something about this doesn’t sit right with me. Phonecard, framed pics, stickers and a fancy box (ala Shining Tears, SF GBA) are one thing, but T-shirts and fancy keychains? It seems a bit mainstream to me, the sort of thing FF fanboys would go around wearing…
I feel dirty just looking at them, but the collector in my says ‘buy!’… please give me strength, Elbesem! 😉
