S.C.G Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I'd prefer to just spend money on the books and not have the hassle of eyes/holding/charging. If only I had the space... that's the main overriding factor for me at the moment, I do like physically owning most things, for instance CD's I always buy as opposed to MP3's, game discs as opposed to direct download but with books I feel like I can make the sacifice of not owning the physical items seeing as I don't really have the space for them and that I haven't really been reading as much as I used to in recent years so I'm hoping that owning a Kindle will bring about some positive change. I suppose I could have just started using the library again but hassle/returning/late fees... I know I've paid a price for simplicity but I'm hoping that what I should gain from it will outweigh the cost eventually.
Raining_again Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 most of the classics are free on zeeee kindle.
MoogleViper Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 not have the hassle of eyes I know exactly what you mean. Things have been so much easier since I gouged mine out.

As you say, it's nice to physically own a book but the Kindle makes it so easy. Plus it's really easy on the eyes. Good purchase!! : peace:
S.C.G Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Whats in the limited edition? Game Artwork Soundtrack CD Premium Steelbook Case Mine arrived on the same day as my PSV so naturally I haven't played it yet, what's more is that the box the ltd ed came in weighed more than the PSVita and games so I think it's a pretty substantial limited edition.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 They're absolutely gorgeous in Blu-ray quality.
Hamishmash Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I really loved the Pokémon Adventures Manga as a kid and I found you can buy it all off of Amazon for really cheap and... I kinda want to go through them all. (I only got to Lavender Town first time around and wanna know what happens!) It's so much better than the anime... why couldn't they have adapted it? Anyway... that's what I intend to buy this week.
nightwolf Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'd prefer to just spend money on the books and not have the hassle of eyes/holding/charging. Your eyes will be fine, especially due to the screens they actually use, I was very much a skeptic myself and genuinely still buy books, but use my kindle for travelling and reading certain novels that are quite expensive and heavy (I move a lot, so its handy.)
Sheikah Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah Kindle is lighter than a book and you charge it like once a month, when you're asleep. All the cons it may have had are pretty much gone, bar the initial cost which isn't too bad if you consider it eliminates the need to go and physically buy (most) books. Ace to look at too.

Jimbob Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 My recent purchases/pre-orders made in February I suppose this would "technically" count, as i had to re-order it due to a certain company
Shorty Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Do ShopTo still get you pre-orders a day early usually? I'm getting ME3 delivered to work, but I won't be in work on release day
Paj! Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Sleigh Bells - Reign Of Terror Such a brilliant sound. The sound of being absolutely blown away. THIS to me is rock music that actually knocks your socks off with it's ferocity, not the countless RAGHH-ing men with their beards and long hair trying to get people to lose themselves. And the vocals of the lead singer here are about as far removed from that type of rock as possible. It's the pure euphoria of delicate pop music trapped in an unstoppable barrage of guitars and drum machines at ridiculous volume. I know it's hard but you gotta deal with it
Magnus Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I thought you'd bought dirty shoes with blood spatter on them and wondered if it was some sort of new fashion I wasn't aware of.
Raining_again Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 stick a patent on it quick, you could be onto a great money making scheme!!
