So...

I went for a little window shopping today at a new shopping mall that just opened. I actually got an e-mail saying that a shop has 20% discount storewide during this National Day, so I went and see if there was anything interesting. Needless to say, I came across a game shop at that very same shopping mall while going up to the floor where the shop I'm going is.

Now, I have this habit of going into a game shop whenever I spy a new one that I've never been to before to do price checks on roughly how much they sell games for. I actually already know a shop that sells cheaper than all of the places I know so I always use this shop's prices as a guideline, but I'm always hunting down more shops to look for games since this shop I frequent don't always have what I'm looking for. So if the price is within the reasonable range, I will remember the shop as one of the places to look for games.

So this shop, after looking through the Xbox 360, Wii and NDS Games, I concluded that the price range was reasonable enough so I make a note of this new shop that I can come to look for games. I actually wanted to get King of Fighters XII (NTSC-J Asia version for the Xbox 360), so I'm currently looking at the prices (and then there is this shop where I have some shop credit with them from selling some games I no longer want to them and was looking to use it up on either a new or used copy of a game I wanted or a second Xbox 360 wireless controller, but the price of the game is higher than the shop I frequent). I was wondering whether to get it from there. However, at that point, I haven't finished looking through the shop yet. It was only half the shop I've looked through, so there were games for the PS3 and PSP I haven't looked at yet. Naturally I skipped the PS3 section since I don't have a PS3 yet so I don't bother looking at PS3 games, walked across someone trying out the Wii (I think I blocked the sensor bar for a second there, since I spied where it was too late to avoid it :P) and came to the PSP section. Just as I was looking through the games, I saw a game I didn't quite expected to see. It was...

Tales of VS

Yes, I got tempted there, especially seeing the game sitting on the shelf. Now mind you, it's quite rare to find a shop here in Singapore that carries Japanese games also on top of English games, that's why I wasn't expecting to see it on the shelf (they also had Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition O_o).

So I took it from the shelf to look at it, then put it back and went over to the PS2 section to see what they have while muttering to myself about Tales of VS, not that I'm really looking for anything for the PS2, except for The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night (but I'm going to buy the Wii version from Play-Asia since they have it really cheap, but they have both Ar Tonelico games, but not going to play that though). After looking at the PS2 section, I stood up and went back to the shelf and took a copy of Tales of VS and bought it >__> I wasn't actually planning on buying Tales of VS since the only place I can normally buy Japanese games from is Play-Asia and really can't be bothered about it...

So...uh, yeah. After that, I went up to the shop I was supposed to go to, looked through everything but didn't see anything I wanted to buy from there, and went home.

I can't wait to try out Tales of VS though. But my PSP is out of power since I haven't used it for a long time (damn PSP still using the battery power even though it's turned off), so I need to charge it first...

Well, not coming YET. It took a while for an English release of kor to be announced, so I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait a bit to hear about Graces being licensed as well.
