December's looking like a light, breezy month for me.  Good thing, too: my recreation budget is almost down to zilch right now. 

No games, but I'm making sure to pick up both the Dissidia Final Fantasy Original Soundtrack and Chocobo And The Magic Picture Book Series Original Soundtrack.  I'm a sucker for repackaged Final Fantasy music, an affliction  I'll likely carry till the day I die.  Dissidia's Limited Edition packaging looks smokin', by the way. 

And, of course, The Dark Knight for home release.  Blu-ray all the way for this one.  An online pal who works in the movie industry had sent me one hell of a souvenir in the form of a billboard-sized poster of this image.  Damned if there's any room in my place to hang it.

Not too much this month for me, entertainment wise.

Prince of Persia
Soldner X: Himmelsturmer (via PSN)

I'm probably pretty much definitely going to get the Dissidia -Final Fantasy- OST. My hippocampus has formed many new memories regarding FF music, which allows for a lot of recall from my nodes of neurons.

Unfortunately, the last available memory of Ishiwatari's music does not bode well, and I don't know what in blazes the BlazBlue OST is going to sound like. So the purchase of that OST exists in a probabilistic world, which can be visited, but I don't recommend it.

My selections from December 2008's releases:

CDs:
-Tales of Hearts Original Soundtrack
-The Last Remnant Original Soundtrack
-Kenji Ito; "Yume Shinden"
-Professor Layton Original Soundtrack 1 ~Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village~
-Professor Layton Original Soundtrack 2 ~Professor Layton and Pandora's Box~
-Chocobo to Mahou no Ehon Series Original Soundtrack
-Dissidia Final Fantasy Original Soundtrack Limited Edition
-Collaboration Album "Message"

Games:
[Nothing]

DVD/BRD:
[Nothing]

From the sounds of the trailers, it seems like it's going to go the hard rock route, much like Guilty Gear 2 Overture Vol. 2 (aka the good one!) or Guilty Gear XX. I'm excited for it.

Maybe Prince of Persia.

DEFINITELY White Knight Chronicles on 25th.

And probably Dark Knight.

So um, yeah, Dark Knight and White Knight

I'm going to pick up Blazblue OST for sure, but that's probably it for this month.

Um, hey, Persona 4, anyone? I mean, the video-game?! It's coming out December 10th...of this year. That's also kinda this month, too. Like, 8 days from now. Have we all forgotten?!

Persona 4 for my wife, but I didn't have any other confirmed media purchases for December.  I need to go look at the Gamefaqs/Gamestop upcoming games schedule.  I haven't been looking at it of late, so I get surprised when I see something interesting get released.

With the economy the way it is, I'd rather save as much money as I can.

Dude, your wife is awesome.

My wife is awesome for liking Persona 4?  Wow, that is a simple requirement.
She has always been interested in Megami Tensei and Persona games.  They have a very creative aesthetic.

Music:
Persona Premium Box
message (only after sampling)
C75 doujins

Games:
Persona 4 + swag (technically its been on preorder for awhile though)

Know a shop that's selling it?

I special ordered it from VGM World.  I don't know if she'll be able to get it or not, but we'll see.

Here is the album page for it. So far, the first three tracks have had samples released with what looks like more to follow.

I actualy bought Lips and this store exclusive Tomb Raider Underworld limited edition on saturday! In my defense both came to a total of less than £20 which is well below the normal price of just one of them.

I am really getting into Lips as the tracks avaiable are actualy not that bad and I bought a few more...

Actually, I think a good deal of gamers will play Persona 4 more than 3.  Every GS I've been too has at least one employee or customer talking about the game.

The only release that looks good enough to get is the RIZ-ZOAWD Super Premium Sound Disc.  Too bad I'll probably have to buy the game to get it though.  I might try to grab just the CD on YJA or something.  Dissidia -Final Fantasy- Original Soundtrack, Genso Suikoden Tierkreis Original Soundtrack, and The Last Remnant Original Soundtrack all might be future purchases but I'll have to hear them first since they could go either way.

Well, it looks as though I'm going to get my preordered copy of P4 tomorrow, just in time for the start of my second playthrough of The Journey.  And then there's The Answer, so I should be ready for P4 next spring, maybe?

I got one:  Eternal Sonata (PS3).  Amazon has it today for $32.98.  Go quickly!

I also ended up ordering both the Technictix Remix shirts from Supersweep store. Kahori is such a great person for special ordering them for me. I can't wait to wear them!
