o my fandom.

This may end up being where my overflow goes when I feel like I already spammed LJ today and shouldn't do it again. Or to catch some of these posts so my LJ most recent page isn't a parade of My Fandom Dear God Why. idk.

At any rate:

"I WANT to preorder from Amazon, but they haven't listed any bonuses outside of the Raiho plushie, which I can get from from my GameStop preorder."

"Hmm, I guess I'd be happy with a soundtrack, but I've already got that with a few of my other games, I'd like to get an artbook for once."

WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME THE WRONG FREE STUFF WITH MY GAMES

I cannot wait until Devil Survivor comes out and people stop asking when (not if!) they're going to announce the pre-order bonus.

"My Fandom Dear God Why" is so very entertaining, though. xD♥

I think it's pretty awesome that we get free stuff at all. Oh, entitlement complexes. ):

I take an odd pleasure in complaining about it. XD

I'm not expecting any pre-order bonuses with Devil Survivor. It's a DS game that retails for thirty dollars, and while I think Atlus has done bonuses for comparable games before (although admittedly, I don't remember how much Luminous Arc 2 retailed for, since I didn't have any real interest in playing it), but it's definitely nothing I'd count on. Especially not with the release only a month and a half or so away.

I love the free stuff they give us, but it really rubs me the wrong way when the fandom takes it for granted. :(

It was $29.99 iirc.

I like how GameStop is saying that the Raiho plushie is a pre-order bonus. UM NO IT'S NOT. EVERYONE IN THE FIRST SHIPMENT GETS IT. Or did they change that?

We tend to get soundtracks for a lot of the DS rpgs. Or cutesy little styluses.

I thought it was, but I wasn't positive.

I certainly wouldn't complain if Atlus did decide to throw a soundtrack or something in at the last minute for Devil Survivor, but people keep asking about the pre-order bonus and wah what is it when will you tell us and I'm just like, dudes, isn't the important thing uhhh GETTING THE GAME?

I believe they said everyone in the first shipment for Devil Summoner gets the Raiho, but the first shipment will be limited so if you want it you're better off pre-ordering.

I just laugh that GameStop is advertising it as "YOU CAN ONLY GET THE PLUSHIE IF YOU PREORDER." Which is a lie. If you don't pick up your preorder until second shipment? No plushie. :')

Usually, unless it's something special, they don't tell you what the preorder bonus is until about 3 weeks before. Doesn't anyone understand patience?
