Volt 09-09-2005 10:21 PM
Um... that really means nothing.
R.Smith 09-10-2005 12:55 AM
Yes, Gato, I'm sorry to say but Volt is right.

Gamestores/video places haven't had a set date yet.

Anything they give you is a projected release date.

Until you see me post an update stating that __/__/__ will be the release date for the US version of AC, then nothing is confirmed.

The only people in America who have seen it have downloaded it illegally, and I ask them not to post any links to the site where they have found the files at.


If you are a true fan, you will not download this, and buy it either by importing, or when the US verison comes out.


I'm personally waiting for my import of the Boxset to come before the week is over. I'm actually expecting it to come by Thursday, or even Wensday.

Dang, this thing's cardbord outtercasing is huge (not gonna throw away this box!)! Shocked

Measures, 21.3" wide, 16.2" high, and 8" width.Drooling

I'm not gonna open it just yet, but I'll definitly get some pictures when I do! Wink



Hope others here besides myself and Vainqueur might have pre-ordered this as well! Smile
Avenir 09-15-2005 09:47 AM
Congratulations, R. Smith! I'll be awaiting those pictures. Big Grin

As R. Smith mentioned, I'm one of the crazy fans who shelled out $250 for the Advent Pieces set. My set shipped this morning. I received the shipping notice e-mail just a few minutes ago and I am about to gag over the shipping total.

Merchandise Total: ¥28,095 ($254.79 USD)
Shipping Charge: ¥10,700 ($97.00 USD)
Total: ¥38,795 ($351.83 USD)

I am going to feel that soon. Oh well, it was worth it. Oh Well
Kairi 09-15-2005 01:39 PM
You spent ninety-seven dollars on shipping? HAH HAH.

Yep, and I'd say it was well worth it. Big Grin Just bear in mind that the set is coming from halfway across the globe, so such a charge is fathomable. Wink

93% of all available copies! Shocked



Since the sample for AC OWA is there, and it's just the beginning part, and we have a bit of it after that from the SE OST website, I put the two together, so we have an even longer sample! Big Grin


(not the best quality, but it's what I had to work with) Oh Well
