Most auctions will add the extra time because it's usually better for the seller if there's a bidding war going on as it allows for that war to drag on until someone gives up. I'm sure this would've gone way past 100k yen if this time extension had been enabled.

Very true, and whoever got this, got a pretty good "deal" imo because that was one of few times I have seen the extension turned off.

Double post, but my Rocket Knight and Kid Dracula shipped! So excited!
Very cool BTails! Interested in the RK record myself, keep us posted in what you think about it.

So did anyone see the Dragon Quest 4 symphonic suite sell for ~650 last night?

Thats the most I have ever seen a VGM record go for. Crazy nuts.

Then feast your eyes on this: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p576060863

It sold a few months back. Whoever bought that one must be a little bitter right now. But this is a title that hasn't been on auction for years, so for 2 to appear within a few months is just insane. No doubt one of the rarest VGM vinyl records out there.

Heading out to Tokyo early June. Will spend most of the two weeks there digging through record shops for VGM vinyl and the missing Bubblegum Crisis albums :D

Finally got some proper storage for my records, I cannot emphasize how important this is for everyone planning on collecting...not too long ago I noticed some warping on my records and got really sad. :(

I decided to check out Crosleys record crate (~35 bucks on amazon) to see if its a worthy product. It exceeded my expectations, its very sturdy, and holds many records...Going to order another one as this only fits half of my collection! Really pleased, well worth the investment!

Best part, setup was simple and took about ~30minutes.

I am not affiliated with Crosley in anyway, except a satisfied customer!

It isn't necessarily a game soundtrack, but I'll post anywho...The Protomen have a pre-order up for Act 2: The Father of Death. Not sure if anyone has heard or listened to them, but if not and you like musicals, Megaman, or the music of Meatloaf---Jim Steinman helped write---then I highly suggest you give it a try on spotify. It's an amazing album.

Any word yet on when that Panzer Dragoon Saga remaster is going to go up for preorder?

That cover is pretty awesome, didn't realize it was a lenticular thing.

I'm not familiar enough with the soundtrack's track names to know, but how "essential" are the songs on the two bonus discs? Considering getting the 4x release but I'm not sure how bothered I'd be missing out on a third of the tracks.

If available, is anyone picking up extra copies of the album from the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert this week?
I'm sure plenty of us would happily cover any costs.
Me. I need the opera.


I ordered the Persona 5 second pressing with my coupon so I don't have it but I feel like the minigames on side D should have been pushed to the deluxe record.

how difficult it might be to find a record on the market? not VG related, it's just I'm trying to find a record I've been pursuing but it appear out of stock in the only place I've found it...

Getting my first record player this week! My buddy's helping me hook everything up, I'm really excited. I'll take photos of the setup - I already have 5 records (mostly video game but one for my girlfriend too), can't wait to listen to them lol.

That sucks to hear. :( Hopefully you get it soon- which did you order?

I'm getting the Audio Technica AT-LP120 off my friend's recommendation. He has like a $13,000 collection on Discogs and has been doing it for years so I trust him lol. Getting it local since I live in a college town.

I'm getting the same one!

to be honest, most sites/youtube channels/forums recommend that one, it's a bit expensive compared to others, but it offers excellent features and the prince is not as high as the other ones

I imported it from amazon, just playing the waiting game here. With any luck, I could have it before the month ends, I need to hear these Dark Souls records...

I'm the only one I know in my area that wants to hear to vinyls, so most of the info I hear are from here and what I search on the web.

Packaging for the Nier vinyl is top notch, somewhat justifies the $50 price tag

With the purchase of the Nier collection I think I'll take it easy on purchasing for a while unless I can find the 2-3 albums I want that are out of stock now.

I bought some Edifer speakers and got my turntable setup pretty close to where I want it:

Complete with plenty of various nerd shit. I keep the records at the bottom of the shelf.

My buddy advised against setting up this way because the vibration from the speaker isn't good for the turntable. I guess you'd be okay if your shelf is extremely solid though.

I have the same speakers and love them. :)

Yeah I've heard that too but I haven't heard any issues yet from playing. Then again I haven't gone down the rabbit hole of adjusting my turntable with protractor yet either so I may never notice. Down the link I may wall mount the speaks behind the shelf to ease any worry.

It also says the release date is March 6, 2016. Like, two years ago. Obviously a typo ;)

It's tempting, but I wish you could get the vinyl separately. Anyone who wants this probably already has the game, no?

I've been waiting for a physical box set with a soundtrack, like the Life is Strange one I bought, but this is even better. That also means I have no idea how good (or bad?) the soundtrack is though. Are there any good tracks on there?
