Today I received the second part of the Burnout Paradise shipment, the PS3 version. I slipped in my own copy and I just have to say that this is now the racer to beat until GT5 is done taking its sweet time. It is ASTOUNDING.
If you care to hear my first impression in full, here it is.
Anyway, I was also SUPPOSED to receive Advance Wars: Days of Ruin on the DS and Nintendo's bizarre fish-rubbing simulator on the Wii, Endless Ocean, but I didn't. Advance Wars was shipped from the wrong warehouse and will not get here until next week, which is probably why I have this self-aware throbbing vein in my forehead, and Endless Ocean... nobody seems to know. At this point somebody at Nintendo is firing rays of pure crazy from his eyes and mouth, so possibly he stole the shipment of the game he created. The Orange County warehouse never received ANYBODY'S shipment.
And that's the news.

Import Madness
by TheRealVance on Comments
Today we received our second ever trade-in. This is significant because it's our first ever import trade-in! America was not meant to be subject to such games! Everybody keeps asking if we'll do imports, now we have a test bed to see if people will replace questions with the wonderful green paper.
Er, since sales are still far less than need be, I will also offer the treasures to you, dear reader.
PS2: Digital Devil Saga 2 - $19.99
PS2: Gundam: One Year War - $19.99
PS2: Hanjuku Hero IV - $19.99
PS2: Tales of the Abyss - $19.99
PS2: Tales of Symphonia - $19.99
PSP: Valhalla Knights - $14.99
Keep in mind that these are all import titles and will require a Japanese PS2 to run (I believe the PSP is region free, though I've had customers with Taiwanese PSPs that don't seem to work with American games so if I'm full of it, somebody set me straight.) If you happen to want any of these, e-mail me. Paypal and check orders are acceptable.
NOTE: I am much more likely to actually get e-mails at zerolinar @ hotmail.com than I to get PMs on this site.
Adventures in owning your own

We doing this.
So I own a video game store. It's kind of rad, but it needs a little work, a lot more stock, and a ton more customers. Okay, probably more like fifty tons more customers.
It's rough, flying blind like this. You don't know if you're wasting the money your grandmother left you or starting the next great gaming empire. How does one go about this kind of thing? What marketing is best? How do you be more awesome than the people pulling in billions of dollars a year, who could just sweep you up and forget you?
It's exciting. It's scary. Reflex Gamer will put up one hell of a fight. Why don't you join me and see it all happen?
