X360 Lost Planet

From the publisher
In Lost Planet you control both your human player and a mech unit, in a fight against alien bugs on a cold desolate planet. Human snow pirates navigate VS (Vital Suits) through hostile ice-covered environments, fighting against the indigenous Akrid creatures for the precious thermal energy they need to survive. For one such pilot named Wayne, death almost seemed imminent until he was fortunately rescued.
However, he can only remember a few fragments of his past including the slaying of his father by the monstrous beings. Yet under the veil of ice, a devious plot has been set into motion by NEVEC. What really happened to Wayne and how will his destiny become intertwined with NEVEC's plans?

X360 Sonic the Hedgehog

From the publisher
When video game icon Sonic The Hedgehog debuted on the SEGA Genesis in 1991, he shook up the action-platform genre with his signature speed and rebellious attitude. More than 44 million units later, Sonic celebrates his fifteenth anniversary and blazes his way onto next-generation consoles for an epic adventure that delivers the most intense sensation of speed experienced to date. The game is set in the beautiful lagoon city of Soleana. In his first adventure set in the human world, Sonic meets a beautiful princess named Elyse, whom he quickly befriends, but Princess Elyse is abducted by none other than the calculating Dr. Eggman, who is working under dark and sinister motives. In order to restore safety and serenity, Sonic maneuvers his way through a series of adventures and challenges where he encounters and interacts with a bevy of allies and enemies, and ultimately goes head to head against the menacing doctor to thwart his malicious plans.

NDS Teku Teku Angel Pocket

Back in the day of the Tamagotchi craze, Hudson released a pedometer based game which allowed virtual pet lovers to take care of a little beast known as Gel-kun. By walking around and increasing the pedometer reading, the beastie would eventually become an angel to meet its maker in heaven. A little beast has returned to become your new friend and it lives inside your Nintendo DS and the included Teku Teku Angel pedometer unit. Play puzzle games and walk around a lot each day. By recording the number of steps, the pedometer tallies how many calories you've burned. Can you help the beast become an angel by being mobile?

PSP Parappa the Rapper Pouch

On Sony's new PSP Parappa-themed pouch, a rainbow seemingly flows freely from Parappa's back and dips a little bit before arcing higher. The rainbow terminates at the upper right corner of the pouch. On the left side of the pouch, the rhyme busting rapper lounges without a care in the world. Made of a cushiony fabric, the PSP pouch holds a Playstation Portable unit comfortably but there's little room for anything else.

PSP PJ Berri Pouch

The sloth known as PJ Berri does one better than Parappa and falls asleep in his pouch decoration turn. A rainbow also issues forth from PJ's back and runs higher before dipping into the lower-left corner of the pouch. The Parappa PSP pouch is made of a cushiony material that protects the Playstation Portable from dust, drops, and Parappa hating hoodlums. If such a thug should see PJ Berri, there's no way he's stealing your gear.

Imports In

Got 'em. All preorders for PS3 Armored Core 4, PS3 Sonic the Hedgehog, PS2 Seiken Densetsu 4, and X360 Sonic the Hedgehog will ship today. Some more packages are supposedly on the way and we'll update accordingly if they make it in in the next few hours. We'll update game synopses and scans before 8PM EST today.

All preorders for X360 Lost Planet will include a bonus Visual Book. Unfortunately, we didn't receive enough bonuses to include with new orders submitted today.

Waiting on Imports

All of our import flights made it into JFK earlier this morning but we're still waiting for the packages to be delivered. The high overall shipping volumes this week has delayed processing and flight clearance for all of this week's arrivals. We'll update again once everything's in stock. As long as our shipments are delivered to us before 4PM EST, we'll be able to ship everything out today.

If our deliveries arrive after 4PM EST, we'll try to get as many packages shipped out as humanly possible in the short amount of time we have to work with. We should have an update by 3:30PM EST and we'll post it up on this page.

General Updates

Import Shipments Delayed Due to what we can only assume to be crushing holiday shipping volumes, some of our Japanese import shipments have been re-scheduled until tomorrow. All preorders for PS3 Armored Core 4, PS3 Sonic the Hedgehog, PS2 Seiken Densetsu 4, and X360 Sonic the Hedgehog will ship tomorrow. Playstation 3 Official S-Video cables are also scheduled to arrive on Friday. The remainder of this week's imports such the PSP Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Bundle are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday of next week due to late release in Japan and the Christmas holiday on Monday.

BD Blu-Ray Remotes Another batch of PS3 remotes arrived today and all backorders placed prior to Dec 21, 2006 at 05:31AM EST will ship this afternoon. New orders placed after that date and time are expected to ship on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Since the USA version of the Blu-Ray Remote is expected to arrive in mid-late January 2007, we'll likely stop stocking the Japanese version after next week and after all demand has been filled.

Parappa the Rapper PSP Pouches Two Parappa pouches that were released in Japan last week will arrive tomorrow. PJ Berri sleeps like a log on one of them and Parappa lounges on the other. Similar to the LocoRoco pouch from Sony, the Parappa pouches follow the slim design of the standard PSP pouch included with the Japanese Value Packs. We'll post photos on tomorrow's update.

Japanese Wii Accessories Restock Classic controllers are available for US$29 and the Nunchuk is on stock again at US$35. Pricing for Japanese Wii consoles are expected to drop to US$345 next week after the holiday rush.
