Credit crunch?
Posted by peterbayliss on June 30, 2008
There’s been a lot of news reports about the global credit slump etc, but it really can’t be that bad if I can be approved for a credit card.
Since getting my DS, I’ve noticed that a lot of interesting games seem to be released in Australia anywhere up to a year after they are released in the US (the less said about the lag behind Japan the better), and often cost twice as much. Happily, the DS doesn’t bother with the ludicrousness that is region coding, so I can happily import them from Hong Kong based online shops.
One I’m particularly looking forward to is DS-10, essentially a software synthesiser made in conjunction with Korg. Its currently only planned to be released in Japan, but given that all the dials etc are labelled in english, I can’t imagine the language barrier being much of a problem.
