    Good find Sai.

    For anyone who doesn't have an AE disc, the big deal here isn't that it's cheap, since AE discs were only around €25/30 in the first place

    The bigger deal is that they're IN STOCK, as these were incredibly hard to find during the initial run; and at the risk of repeating myself: You can't get these in any brick and mortar stores.

    Also: Arcana Hearts 3 special edition for €22ish? Should anyone bother?

    The Arcana Heart special edition has quite a bit of stuff in it, but nothing I was terribly interested in. Sound track, art book, cards with the move lists for every character.
    Art book is quite thick, but it's mostly just official character art and then the uncoloured versions of those same pieces. I like a bit of concept art in my art books!
    The game itself is fun, but have fun finding anyone to play against :pac:

    As much as I like my fighting games, I'm not sure I like them enough for Anime Loli porn.

    Which is also why I didn't buy Platinum in Blazblue.

    You're safe Dan.

    Zavvi presents it as "MONDAY MADNESS", but these prices are permanent.

    I bought Dead Rising 2 from them weeks ago for around €14 in a similar MONDAY MADNESS, and if you go back a few pages you can see it's still there.

    EDIT: I just refreshed the page, and the AE discs are gone?

    Sorry Dan, might be a "until stocks last" thing.

    EDIT2: Found em, still there: http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=&search=arcade+edition

    Probably for the best tbh. Hopefully Arcana Heart won't sell out before I get paid.

    Zavvi is what the guys who ran Virgin Megastore renamed it, after they bought the chain from Richard Branson.

    Shortly after that, they ran it into the ground, and closed all their branches.
    Incidentally HMV bought some of their locations where HMV didn't already have a branch.

    Now they seem to operate exclusively as an online store.
    So yes, they're local to you.

    It is Super Street Fighter 4 plus the "Arcade Edition DLC" (4 new characters, new modes, new rebalancing) which was released separately together on one disc.

    If you downloaded the DLC yourself, there's nothing new here, and no need for you to purchase it.

    The main advantage for most of us is that a disc is WAY easier to have at tournaments than messing with the DLC/Xbox Profile stuff.

    I believe the DLC is €12, so if you already have Super, you're paying €8 more for a disc.

    So the only question is if that extra €8 is worth having something physical you can put on a shelf/bring to a friend's house easily.

    I'd recommend that. If you were going to bring the DLC to a friends house, you'ld have to put your profile/save/dlc on a USB stick, but still bring the Super 4 disc anyway. You can imagine how this gets messy for tournaments.

    I bought the AE disc and gave my Super 4 disc away to my nephews, because I'm the Best Uncle Ever.

    I was going to do something similar, but I don't want the bastards practising.

    To expand a bit on what Sairus said: as well as the game itself, you get the soundtrack (mostly rubbish), the artbook (nothing too lurid - the pic of Rachel Alucard in lingerie from the Blazblue CT artbook is worse than anything in here) and the movelist cards, which are a cool addition I guess, but nothing you can't find out from the in-game movelist.

    While the special edition doesn't add too much value IMO, I'd say that if you like your air-dashy-chain-comboey fighters and have a high tolerance for ANIMU~ then you absolutely should bother at that price, as it's a really fun little game.

    Just bought the PS3 version, cause Sony can kiss my arse if they think I'm buying anything from their online store again.

    Met a couple of folks at G4X who play on PSN, as does RightBackBill (Gen player) so its worth the double dip.

    edit: Looks like the 360 version of BBCS is going for about €18

    Im tempted, But I just dont have enough time to play any more fighters.

    BBCS was actually pretty readily available at this price in brick and mortar stores.
    HMV had it for €16 back in the day. Only problem finding it these days might be availability rather than price.

    Wow, surely there's some sort of complaint you can lodge over that? That's insane, I'll certainly never order with them.

    I complained two months after it never arrived and they sent out a replacement.
    So either the one I received now is 5 or 3 months over due. Hopefully a second copy will arrive at some point :/
