At $50 and with PS4 slowness, does it really even need one?

Thank you!
I can agree that I would be happier if it was 1. But 2 is understandable - people ordering another for a friend, SO, etc. isn't unfair. So I can be pleased with this much.
now to feel anxiety over it for the next week, and then either be fine or feel the pain, possibly twice...
Finally.
The CE looks beautiful as well:
This is one of those rare moments where I feel like getting the standard and colletors edition for BOTH versions.

Please let limit the morning batch to 1 per customer. Then increase the limits for the afternoon batch.
Night Trap was probaby just as anticipated and that went like no tomorrow
Same feelings for me. Anxious about actually getting them, also I haven't ordered anything from LRG since September 2018, so hopefully order flow is smooth and I won't run into any hiccups.
I've only bought 2 things - Deemo and Musync. I think the former was very casually done and the latter was a regular preorder, and both were a good while ago regardless. So... I at least have a login, but no real experience with the rush.
Gonna have to be realistic with myself about the chances of failure, I guess.

Honestly, I've never had an issue of missing a game that I REALLY wanted. A few tips:
- log into the LRG site before the games go on sale
- if needed, log into your preferred payment method (PayPal, Amazon, etc) before the games go on sale
- Be ready at the ordained time; 7:00 AM pacific (10:00 AM eastern) and 3:00 PM pacific (6:00 PM eastern)
- Refreshing the main LRG page is usually faster than refreshing the product page in order to save valuable seconds.
- Know that most gun for the LE versions first. So if you can be satisfied with the standard copy, don't waste time on the LEs.
I've bought Deemo, Broken Age, 2064: Read Only Memories, VA-11 HALL-A, and Golf Story. I need to make sure I wake up on time for sure. I'm not sure if I should try for all I'm interested in during the morning batch, or split it between the morning and afternoon batches.
Does anyone know how fast LRG customer service is with issuing the codes? I've never sentinel's my tickets. If I was able to get them in the mail today, do you think I'd receive the $25 coupon code before 5/31 so I could use it on Fata Morgana?
It depends on a multitude of factors, specially how long does a letter take to arrive from your address to LRG's.
Don't think this was posted, LRG getting primetime coverage on the Playstation blog:

You can also use the tickets to reserve games. This is the mail I got after sending in my tickets:
"Do you have games in mind for an upcoming release? We have a few options.
1. We can situate an order outside the normal run and have you purchase the shipping fees for your game to be sent out as soon as possible.
2. If you're buying other games during the sale, we can add your game into that order for no additional shipping fees or add it to any unfulfilled order placed January 1st or after. Please note that combined orders are removed from the regular manifest and will be shipped shortly after the first batches of the run and all items are out of production.
3. I can provide you with a discount code of $24.99 (I recommend this option if you are able to snag it on release days!). "

I'm the US, but the opposite side of the country. I'll just take my chances with First Class mail.
They received mine after 5 business days I believe. I sent it just through the regular mail with a couple stamps.
Aha... I read this as if you were saying this had been decided on and was happy. Sigh.
Hard to say... Most games lately have the SE sell out quicker, but going back a year it was flipped. I think budgets are broken, so more just nabbing the SEs, maybe?
All noted, thanks! I might actually use this Friday as a dry run, without actually buying anything? Just want to know where everything I'm gonna need to click is...
And I'd honestly prefer to use my phone as well; had good luck with it for event tickets and such. But I'm stuck on an older one currently and it's has weird issues with Safari, so... laptop it is.
EDIT:
So, to be clear, are you suggesting the express checkout using PayPal? I guess I used their Shopify thing before since it immediately sent a quick access code to my phone for that when I went to see what their checkout page is like; feels like that may not actually be faster though...
EDIT2: Actually it's even weirder than that- when I'm on the main page on (Mac) Safari and click on an item, it pops up with adding to cart but also Buy It Now, which took me to the Shopify checkout page. Meanwhile in Chrome, I immediately get Paypal as the other option instead. So Chrome it is, I guess...?

I might be interested in that A-Train game, but LRG doesn't have much info, and all I can find is a one minute trailer that's pretty vague. What kind of game is it? Is it like a train conductor simulator like I've seen for 3DS? What's the PSVR functionality? Is it worth getting just for PSVR?
It's a long-running railroad building and management sim by Artdink,
Gematsu has a good overview of the PS4 version in this post:
https://gematsu.com/2017/09/train-express-first-details-screenshots
I believe the VR mode is more of a small extra feature. It appears to be limited to a model viewer mode where you can look at dioramas. Here's a short video of that mode on PSVR:
Yeah, the best way to think of A-Train is Transport Tycoon meets SimCity. Basically you're trying to grow a city by planning out its transportation infrastructure--laying train lines, figuring out bus routes, connecting industry to shipping so goods can flow, etc. It's definitely not a train-DRIVING sim, and sadly the VR mode doesn't have a train's-eye-view mode (which is weird, because A-Train 3DS did, and it was rudimentary but otherwise lovely).
It's based on A-Train 9 for the PC, so you can also get a sense from its Steam page and various YouTube videos.
2800 London Detective but there's also a soundtrack bundle with 2800 so there are 5600 copies total? That's a lot.
Wait that went up this morning?! No one even spoke about it, nor was it on the main page, what??
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.... :(
My email with them is messed up, but no one on here even mentioned in at all :/
No, that's it. SOLD OUT completely. They only had 300. I'm pissed. I guess no one here thought it was news-worthy to post...
I also missed it too. You would think they would at least post something on twitter
Edit they did but not only 21 hours ago
They did yesterday apparently. I don't really use Twitter, but usually someone on here mentions any kind of announcement, which is why I'm surprised no one did for a heads up. They must have added it to the front page like, an hour before it went up or something.
I looked at their website 3-4 times last night making sure there wasn't anything I wanted this morning. I didn't see Rabi anywhere.
Rabi Ribi PAX went up today? WTH?
The only email that mentions it was from this morning. That's messed up.

And it was sorta buried down in the e-mail too.
I really love the PAX cover for this game so if anyone wants to make some bucks flipping one please send a PM. I've also got lots of LRG stuff to trade.
10% of the whole stock of 300 is already on eBay right now... Trying to negotiate (with terrorists) on a more fair pricing. I HAAAAAATE paying above MSRP on anything :( I love how they show their receipts on only paying $35 after tax+shipping for them. Thanks dudes.
Yuck. As much as I hate using Ebay for stuff I NEED to sell, I can't imagine doing it on purpose by flipping.
i wonder if someone was to forward these listings onto someone like josh would these ebay listings magically end because their order got cancelled
I signed on and started refreshing like crazy a min ago.... just in case there were cancels :( People giving in and getting them at full scalped pricing on eBay. It stinks...
Wish I could be on some list for possible extra copies for it...
EDIT: There was only THREE left on eBay since earlier today... I broke and bought one because it bothered me so much :/ I hate myself for having to pay 3 times the amount of it :( :(
