Lied about the ETA and not notify me of this… It seems like they don’t want my money. Either way, I won’t buy anything from them again if this keeps it up. but yeah, waiting another week and a half to see how it goes.
Update: after a few more days, I finally got my order shipped out. It should be here by Spring Break.
Lies about stock-on-hand are rather usual across the business. About the only place that actually accounts it is Amazon. I bought my Missing Moon from Play-Asia a couple of years ago, so there was no issue with anime helping to deplete stocks.
Considering that the game came out in 2009, I would make it difficult to obtain… Ironically, the game is also on the Japanese PSN (or Sony Entertainment Network as they call it now) since it got a PSP the Best version. I think they sell it for 2800 yen, but good luck obtaining a Japanese PSN card that isn’t outrageously expensive. The only reason I want a physical copy is the fact that the PSP doesn’t support multiple accounts and that you need 1.8GBs of free storage to install it onto the memory card. I only have a 4GB card, so it’s not going to get me that far if I want to buy Missing Moon from the Playstation Store.
