Dragon’s Crown Is Sold Out Almost Everywhere in Japan

If you live in Japan and don't want to settle with the digital version of Dragon's Crown you may want to hurry, as the latest game by Vanillaware appears to have made a big splash in the archipelago of the rising sun, big enough to be sold out at almost every retailer.

Would be nice if we could pre-order day1 digi on PSN already

6DEAD6END63931d ago

Is there anyway of preordering a PS4 game digitally, just asking. And it's really nice to see a game like this do so well it deserve it.

Dunpeal3931d ago

right now? no. however, it is my understanding that PS4 will have a lot more day-1-digi support for its games

6DEAD6END63931d ago

Thanks because I want to go all digital.

grailly3931d ago

in fact, for some select games Sony does offer a pre-order service, but it really isn't great.

the pre-order will just get you the same bonuses as a retail pre-order, i.e. for the last of us I got the soundtrack plus some wallpapers. It doesn't offer what we would really want: pre-downloading.

Army_of_Darkness3930d ago

An action jrpg that has chick witches with enormous boobs!! So of course its gonna sell well to the asians! I should know, I'm one of them:-)

@6DEAD6END6

If you play your cards right, Sony might let you download a PS4 online, you know, digitally.

Very nice indeed. I am pretty hyped for this game to come out in the US as well.

HarryMasonHerpderp3930d ago

Why would you pre-order a digital copy of something?
That makes no sense.

FamilyGuy3930d ago

1. To get the digital pre-order bonuses if they have em

2. So you can have it downloaded before it actually is able to be played. So you have it ready and installed the moment it hits the release date rather than having to wait for the PS store to update, wait for it to download and then wait for it to install.

Pre-ordering digital copies would be very convenient.

Dunpeal3930d ago

why not? i'm gonna buy the game anyway. i'll buy it early if that's provided. did the same thing with TLOU.

HarryMasonHerpderp3930d ago (Edited 3930d ago )

Ah the pre-order bonuses I forgot about those.
I don't agree with it though I think it sends a bad message when you have to pre-order a digital copy of a game to get items that were blatantly taken out of the final release (not saying it's the case for Dragons Crown more like the new Metro game with the ranger mode).
Just not a fan of this new trend.

Nivalis3931d ago

And yet I picked up a copy no problem this morning

Abriael3931d ago

Which is why it's "almost".

Nivalis3930d ago

Which is why Bic Camera, Ito Yokado, Yamada, my local Aeon, my local independant games store AND Nojima all had multiple copies too, right?

boybato3931d ago

Excited for this weeks media create. Hope this title sells a ton. :-)

Inception3931d ago

Nice! Can't wait to pick my copy on 6th august ^^

Inception3931d ago

Nope, the power of Vanillaware ;)

admiralvic3931d ago

Nope, the power of the Dreamcast. D:

6DEAD6END63931d ago

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

Magog340d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast340d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie340d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

Potential PS3 “Holy Grails” You Should Collect Now

We've rounded up a few PS3 games that show serious potential for big price jumps over the next few years. Could these reach "Holy Grail" status?

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

franwex1132d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1132d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1132d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021132d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1131d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1131d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661131d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021131d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1132d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1132d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901131d ago (Edited 1131d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1132d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1132d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021132d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901131d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1131d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1131d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1131d ago (Edited 1131d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1131d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1131d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
