All my current preorders:

I was originally going to wait a little bit on Project X Zone, since I was only really gonna support it because we need more games like this. I was totally unimpressed with the character lineup in it, but we usually don't even get things like this localized. So I'd support it, but I wouldn't do it immediately.
However, now that I'm nearing the end of Tales of Vesperia, I see that this game actually features Yuri Lowell on the Namco side of things... and that's nothing but awesome.
So... preordered.
Yeah, I'm a sucker.
Xillia is still my most anticipated game though (and dear freakin lord, I hope it does well enough to warrant Xillia 2 being localized as well). And as I play through Soul Hackers, my excitement for SMTIV just keep growing and growing. I should have already been ecstatic about it, but the lack of either Kazuma Kaneko or Shoji Meguro put me off a little... but I'm getting over it. I'm sure it'll be awesome anyway. It's Megaten. They haven't done wrong by me before, so there's no reason for me to doubt it now.

I already own Ranger X but cart only. I did not buy the game again but found the box really cheap.
Eternal Champions was dirt cheap and looks interesting to say the least. Doe not look great but interested in the fact it was trying to out gore mortal kombat

Eternal Champions was fun. Seem to remember it actually had a decent Storyline?

"Deep Waters" has to have the most awesome animated logo intro in history.

Oh 90's CG cutscenes. Your featureless human models and stiff animation with muffled bad voice overs or cheesy rock music. How we miss thee.

Won an ebay auction for this today:

A limited edition bundle of Ridge Racer Type 4 and the Namco Jogcon controller. Apparently there were only about 10,000 of these made for US distribution, so this is actually a bit rare. It's even individually numbered (as you may be able to see in the second pic).
I might not be the biggest racing game fan in the world, but I do love me some Ridge Racer, and I have some damn fine memories of R4 from back in the day. Always loved the whole aesthetic style of it, the arcade-y feel to the gameplay (never much been a fan of realistic racing games), and the excellent soundtrack. I actually still own my original copy of it, but it's a little busted up; I've been meaning to re-buy a nicer copy at some point anyway.
And packaging the Jogcon with the game is kind of like how Namco would package the Guncon with their Time Crisis releases; this is technically the way they want you to play the game. I've heard mixed things about the controller before, but I'm actually kind of excited to finally get to use it regardless.
And for something as rare as it is, it was kind of a steal for less than 30 bucks. I don't often take part in the actual "auction" aspect of ebay, but I'm glad I did so for this one.

Eternal Champions is really crap. Not Shaq Fu or Rise of the Robots crap, but still pretty crap.

Amazing, always wanted one of these! I agree with you about about Type 4, it's definitely in my top 3 favourite racing games.

Oddly in the UK it seems it would be cheaper to download that off XBL than buy the disc version.
