jp episode 3 pre-ordering.. =., in search of.. Options

[DivA]

~the ETA for the jp release looks to be nov 27th; being that i search & collect things PsO related, i've decided to import both game & memory card.. ^^ i'm currently searching for web-sites that have decent pricings, found 2 thus far from the same web-site - so i'm keeping this in mind..

main link..
lik-sang

pso links..
PsO Episode 3: CARD Revolution - $59.90
251 Memory Card - Hori - $24.90

above are the 2 set prices for that web-site; my question being - is this a good price or are there other jp import sites that are preparing to have them for less? =.

*nods* this is true, the memory card is definitely a must have.. ^^ that's a good question ~ i hadn't considered the HL compatibility issue, but me thinks i'll most likely end up playing the import offline so i can better understand "why" ST decided to branch off in the direction of poke-yugi cards...if it turns that i likes the game, then i'll get the US version & play online.. =.

here's another site (nov 28? Oo) ~ JapanVideogames.com

PsO Episode 3: CARD Revolution - $62.99
251 Memory Card - Hori - $25.00

yah, the hori card looks to have a special pre-load of 5 special cards for use in episode 3 ~ if the hori card is to sell, then perhaps the pre-load could have 5 rare cards particular to the hori card.. =} the prices here seem a tad higher, but word has it that this site has a better reputation for shipping games in a timely manner in comparison to lik-sang.. Video Game Depot & Buy-Rite, oui? *goes off to see..*
