@VectorTwoSix

I still have my PSP copy. Probably the best non-Team Silent, Silent Hill game. I really liked it. I thought the story was really good and I also liked Travis a lot. And the OST is also fantastic. I still listen to it on a regular basis

Can't hurt to ask Tea, even if you get one pre-owned, I'd really like to get my hands on a copy - thanks!

Hey all - Sony has confirmed a manufacturing issue with the Pulse Elevate Wireless Speakers and as such it will no longer be listed for retail/release (until further notice).

All orders are being notified and refnds will be processed accordingly as requested by the distributor.

Sorry about that!

@MrOde - Thats a good point, I will discuss that as an option with the lostics guys for delivery upgrades.

I must say most times we dont really have an issue with Courier Guy being on time, but in outlying areas it can be rough 3-4 days but, we often try choose the service that matches the area and even ship some product a bit earlier so it arrives on launch day for thos clients where we can

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

So while this series has gone back and forth and probably scared off a lot of long-time fans, the reviews are looking decent as long as you accept Final Fantasy no longer seems to have a definable play style anymore - A decent in depth review from usgamer.net: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/lightning-returns-ps3-review-the-future-of-final-fantasy-no-but-definitely-an-intriguingly-weird-present

After reading the reviews and trying out the demo I will pick this up second hand, or if the digital one ever comes out dirt cheap.

Story still looks like a train wreck but the game is fun to play, and I am sucker for cute outfits =p

After checking the demo out I think I may give this game a try. May be a bit lost story-wise, as I never completed the first 2 Final Fantasy XIII's though. I freaking love the combat system though. It is very fluid but still sticks to the traditional Final Fantasy feel.

Amount of Pre-orders have definitely increased for this title, I'm guessing that demo is a lot of fun!!

It's the battle system in the demo that convinced me.

This game is great! The time limit thing is a bit annoying but so far enjoying the battle system quite a bit. It's not as easy as I thought it would be.

I've only played FFXIII and skipped XIII-2 but I did go to gametrailers.com to check the review out for Lightning Returns. About half-way through they mention you can easily manipulate the mechanics to mitigate the stress of the clock with little effort - http://www.gametrailers.com/reviews/l06w3t/lightning-returns--final-fantasy-xiii-review

Something to do with just spamming one of the cheap abilities to pause the clock.

I'll try it out. THx for the advice.

Either way, I love exploring the wide open worlds in jrpgs and I HATE timed missions in games.
Lightning returns: Huge explorable areas! Gives you clock that limits your time to explore.
