I missed out.  I hate their piece of shit website that says there's hundreds of copies left, but the cupboard is bare when you go to checkout.

I was able to get both games. Mind you I hovered around like a hawk before the sale went live and was loaded in. If that made any doffernace.


Interestingly enough I noticed when I went to check out I was told I was "waiting in line" to complete the checkout process.

I saw they had a three pack bundle for the odd world. It seemed interesting only for the blue variant cover which I liked more then the other two. But not enough to buy three copies of the same game. So I'll probably just custom print the cover I liked and slide it over the one I get.

My friend and I were logged into LRG and paypal beforehand. Both of us got it in the cart within half a minute. I was able to check out and my friend wasn't. Seems like luck of the draw.

I'm happy for ya.

My last extra will indeed be going to my friend. This was an insane round of LRG madness.

It was fun watching the remaining inventory number bounce around when I was tapping F5 and waiting for the sale to open.  It's either inaccurate and nigh useless or they're gaming the system.

I noticed that as well. I was thinking some shenanigans (LRG pulling stock for cons and black friday maybe) or people somehow punking the system and getting orders in.

I find it funny that LRG claims this isn't the case (people buying up games before the sale goes live).

I also find it frustrating when they will not answer questions regarding number of stock or if certain Vita released games are ps tv comparable.

They started out fairly responsive but then turned into gigantic dbags. I mean, they have to deal with lots of idiots sure but that's no excuse.

In a way it's almost a sign of success. Inability to answer and response seems to show how many people comment, message, and retreat them daily.

Agree. The success went straight to their heads.

Totally missed it in the morning due to...who knows why.  Tried 3 different ways of ordering it, but once I would go to checkout....it was sold out!  Later I used my dad's phone(since I don't have a smart phone yet) & nabbed it with 28 copies remaining!  Yikes!

I didn't even think ordering was possible at this point. More or less anyway.
