Lucky guys have this in his/her bedroom at the night... Not-so-lucky guys (like me) have this at work or during class. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

I don't even have it at work. I usually have it while driving home. Which begs the question, who's unluckier, me or the people sharing the road with me at the time?

Doh heh ooops, I wonder how the hell I missed those big blue letters on top Cool cool now I just have to wait till tuesday. here’s hoping it’s a good game

I almost hate to ask this, but they say that it is coming on October 21st, does that truly mean released or just for pre-ordering? I have never really noticed how g-collections does things on their web site so if this is a idoitic question it comes from lack of previous experience with noticing how they handle new releases.

Yes, it is for release. They open up orders sometime the night before (or at least it's night over here, who know what time it is for G-Collections) and they ship out the next day. Depending on various factors, you get it within 2-5 days of the date they post. At some point, G-Collections decided not to do pre-orders, so any date they give can be assumed to be a release date.

I don't think they ever did? I'm pretty sure the first group of releases was put up for ordering, and that was it.

Or they do preorders in their old website, as extant before their English-language versions came out?

I was saying "at some point" in general, not specifically after the website was up. After all, someone at some time had to have made that decision. Although I don't think they took in account how much bandwidth would be taken up by certain individuals refreshing their screens over and over waiting for the opportunity to order...

In otherwords about 3 am Eastern Daylight Time, does it actually start right at the stroke of midnight?

Actually since the company is in Las Vegas. It you would use pacific time. And nope I don’t think G-collections has ever done pre-orders. The only time they might have would have been when they first started out and released kango, Kana, Chain, and DO all at once.

BTW if all goes well I’ll have my grubby hands on Cresendo soon and will probably post one of my, Hahah I got it before you reviews on the weekend

Nope. Even then, they opened the games for ordering at a previosly announced time, but never made them available for preordering.
That's why a obsessive bunch of b-gamers gave them troubles with bandwidth caused by repetitive browser-refershs until the "buy"-button showed up.

Feel free to do so! I'll even give you a head-start of a month or so, because I am going to order Crecendo together with Brave Soul in order to save intercontinental shipment costs.

at 1 am here (mountain time) the game became available to order, and with a good ammount of lag till about 1:30 am, so all-a-yall were still up and ordering I see,
and i just happened to be up watching “Friday After Next” decided to check it before i went to sleep… and sure enough.

oh and heres their next announcement!

OUR NEXT TITLE!
"Tsukushite Agechau 4"
Coming on November 12st, Wendsdey!!

Weird, my AOL browser didn't update the page so I had to use IE to have a look at Crescendo. Not that it matters as I'll be getting it from Jlist or PP. I laugh at G-Collections extortionate $18 shipping charge to Europe. Er, "ha ha".

Hmm… The fact that they are able to give a precise date for release even this early shows that G-C is definitely getting much more organized and confident.

Same here.
Hmmmm... I see! So apparently, I have to order Crecendo, Tsukushite Agechau and Brave Soul all together to get the most out of my intercontinental shipment feet.

Well, since I am definitely going to skip buying Shukketsu Bo, this will probably my last english bishoujo order this year, so I suppose there should be nothing wrong with making it a memorable package by putting all of them together.

(No, I don't think we are going to see Gunshield Warrior Sakigake before Little My Maid.)

I just wondered if someone could tell me what is the Tsukushite Agechau series is about, I noticed that too and the release date when I ordered Cresendo last night but don't know anything about the series. If this should be a new thread my apologies for not starting one.

It is impressive that at least so far they seem precise about the next release date too, that is kind of cool they know it already.
