-Star Ocean -The Last Hope- Original Soundtrack
-Cellythm - Those Who Distorted

Let's see here...

At the moment, it's a very small list, but as is the case with February, this is definitely subject to change.

Music

Star Ocean The Last Hope Original Soundtrack

Yeah, I think that about covers it. I'm terrible at the Resident Evil games, so I'll probably forgo that one and there aren't any other releases that I'm aware of that are a must own for me.

It was released last month but I didn't see it until yesterday: the fourth Futurama movie. I still haven't watched the last two even though I own them thus it's not a priority.

OH!

And, in an amazing freaking twist I actually have something to list that is coming out this month! Though most will wonder the big deal is as the band's time in the spotlight is over, the new Static-X album - Cult of Static - drops on March 16th. I don't know how I got so into this band, my old boss listened to them all the time at work and when he took a leave of absense due to personal problems I just found myself craving the songs of he played. I've been pretty pleased with all the albums I've gotten so far though 05's "Start A War" is somewhat of a low point.

I'm still not sure about buying RE5 on day one (which is this week on thursday over here)
I kinda expect DenDen Town to break the street date, so I might see it when I go there tomorrow, and fate will decide whether I'll get it or not.
I'm not bothered by the controls at all, but I still have to be convinced of the fun of forced co-op.

Nothing else of interest this month, I guess.

only interest reduction here,, threw 10k towards the mortgage principal...

Some potentially excellent stuff this month, but it'll probably just come down to Resident Evil 5 and MadWorld for me.  I'm really curious to see how Major Minor's Majestic March turned out, but despite the development pedigree of Greenblat and Matsuura, music and Wii-centric controls hasn't exactly been a winning formula as of late.   

More goodness on the way for you RPG nuts in the form of Avalon Code, Suikoden Tierkris, Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, and Pokemon Platinum Version. 

GoldfishX, you picking up Guitar Hero: Metallica?  avatar!, how about Samurai Shodown Anthology?

Music-wise, Dragon Quest Dance Mix could end up being really good.  I'm considering the Akumajo Dracula Judgment Original Soundtrack, and the Biohazard 5 Original Soundtrack hinges on how well I like the music in-game.

As far as home video releases, I missed out on Bolt, Milk and Slumdog Millionaire in the theaters, so those will at least be rentals.  I'm curious to see how The Princess Bride turns out on Blu-ray, and despite my qualms with Quantum of Solace, I'll pick it up to accompany my Casino Royale set.

... and so I'm actually adding something to the thread:

I'm picking up the following:

Nintendo DS
- Avalon Code
- Suikoden Tierkreis
- Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume
- maybe Boing! Docomodake
- and I'll be Goozex-ing Trackmania DS

PSP
- Mana Khemia
- maybe Phantasy Star Portable (wish it was $30)

Biohazard 5 OST, son! And depending on the tracklisting and composer lineup, I might get the Korg DS-10 soundtrack. Given that sanodg and Mitsuda used the software to perform live, and since Procyon was involved in the sound production of the software (methinks) it would only make sense for them to be on the disc. We'll see...

MUSIC:

Castlevania Judgment
Cellythm
Dragon Quest Dance Mix
Star Ocean IV

Wii:

Mad World

I might actually get this when it first comes out; Wii games are pretty good about keeping their price, but No More Heroes went down pretty quickly in price, I can only imagine it's "Mature" status on what is otherwise a family/kiddie console is what affected sales and forced it's price down...it'll depend on how bored I am with my other games.

I'll probably pick up Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, but not sure whether I'll buy it for Wii or DS...  Probably Wii.

And for Blu-ray, I'll definitely pick up Quantum of Solace and the third volume of the older Bond movies Blu-ray set.

For me guys here's my wish list for this month:

Games:

Resident Evil 5 collector's edition
Sonic and The Black Knight
Street Fighter 4 (I so need to get it!)
MadWorld
The Conduit( is that out this month? I really liked playing it at SEGA)

Music

Street Fighter 4
Resident Evil 5
MadWorld ( it's coming with my pre order of Madworld )

If I buy even a few items from this list it would already be a lot anyway with everything going on. Such a stellar month for must buys so might concentrate on the stuff that will become rare like Madworld soundtrack.

Nice job dude, impressive to have that sized chunk of change to use towards paying it down.

Aye, I say here be a grand month.

I'll be getting the Castlevania Judgment and Star Ocean 4 OSTs and maybe the Black Mages III DVD.

In Korean movies I finally get The Good, The Bad, and The Weird. I also ordered Crush and Blush, since Park Chan-Wook was involved.

I usually don't get this excited.

Link please?  Found one up on YJ Auctions?

My March purchases include shovels and salt. Damn you, snow.

Dragon Quest Best Dance Mix is a likely purchase, though I'm still waiting for more samples before I make it official.

I'm very much looking forward to Bentley Jones's debut album, Trans//lation ~ J-pop Dance Covers. His Sonic the Hedgehog vocal tracks were really enjoyable, and although I don't generally follow J-pop, I'm very intrigued by the possibility of an English version of "Kibun Jojo."

I've never seen Andy Richter Controls the Universe, but I'm always hearing comparisons to Arrested Development, which can only be a good thing. Methinks it's time for me to see what I've been missing.

There's an official commercial release coming up:

As with the other Futurama movies, the fourth movie appears to be very polarizing. Some thought it was middling, but I thought it was a fantastic end to the series, full of great gags and lots of heart. The good news is that the movie sales have been very strong, so there are once again talks with FOX about doing more movies or (hopefully) another, proper season.

Music

Haven't seen any official releases that interest me yet...

Doujins
SAVAGE FLAMES
GODS
Boukyou Butouen
Touhou Gensoukai -Hisouten no Oto-
TOHO KOUTETSU KUMIKYKU
Memento mori

Oh thanks, guess I totally overlooked it both on cdj and vgmdb!
Well I'm glad there's finally RETAIL release for a Mages DVD now, instead of just through Noby's Fan Club and paying hundreds to get it on auction like the first 2.

Guitar Hero Metallica? Why yes indeed. I expect to get my ass creamed by it, but at least I'm getting to play a bunch of my favorite songs and the supporting cast is fairly excellent (War Ensemble, Boys are Back in Town, Am I Evil...awesomeness). This isn't like Aerosmith, which had maybe 5 songs total that interested me. And it will have vocals, which will be awesome.

Just MadWorld and Valkyrie Profile: Covenent of the Plume for me this month.

I was shocked when I found that on CDJ's game music page. Although still extremely overpriced, it sure beats the cost of the first two. I think a fair price would be $20 or less. But $40+ for a DVD seems to be typical for Japanese releases. (It seems that being in the DVD industry in Japan is a good place to be. They must be selling well because I'm not seeing any price cuts. Same for game music. The prices are consistently...very high. It is further interesting to note that U.S. blu-ray discs are much cheaper than Japanese DVDs. I'd hate to be a blu-ray collector in Japan.)

HMV have it for about 38 bucks: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/3527856
Amazon have it for even less, at $35: http://www.amazon.co.jp/BLACK-MAGES-Dar … 461&sr=8-1

Also, hooray for exchange rate being much more reasonable lately.

While I found the first three Futurama movies boring and stale, I quite liked the last entry.

And bad as it may seem, I may actually want to pick up Trivial Pursuit for the PS3 this month too.  =p

Wow. Thanks. You just saved me around $11, plus another $6 (Star Ocean 4 OST). I need to pay closer attention to AMZ JP.

MadWorld if anything. I kind of went overboard last month and have plenty to keep me busy, but I want to do what I can to support Clover's founding fathers. As for RE5, by Seeds? I kind of...haven't gotten to RE4 yet.

I'm curtailing discretionary purchases for the time being, so no March purchases for me.  Boy, does forbearance hurt.

After seeing the videos for Henry Hatsworth for the DS I'm kind of intrigued... anyone else?

Well, I've decided to order Gradius Rebirth Original Soundtrack and I'm willing to take a chance on Gradius House Remix. I hate being a compulsive spender...

Now, I just have to wait for Kahori to tell me that she's special ordered it for me.

I'm planning on purchasing a bunch of chobani yogurt!
If you like yogurt, I HIGHLY recommend them!

I looked for a 7th Dragon copy with the preorder bonus, but no such luck.

I think I'll bid for the bonus CD instead in yahoo auction, and pick up the game once my exam is over. Yeah, now is definitely not the best time to spend my time in playing the game (which I haven't done for more than one year).

edit: I got it, at a little higher price. Obviously, I'm not good at bidding

South Park season 12 came out today, but I'll hold off due to the price. Also need Seasons 9 and 10 as well.

even MORE vehicle repairs, god damn cars suck.

Ended up getting Resident Evil 5 soundtrack but it seems it may not end up that way. Got a card from Royal mail asking me to pay nearly £30($40) in custom charges so might just have it sent back!

Also been playing Sonic and the Black Knight since yesterday which has been a blast.

Hope your car repairs work out this time mate as it must be really expensive.

King of Monaural Fighters 1998 Ultimate Match

I picked this up the other day since most places are selling it for a little less than $30 which is pretty good for a multi-disc, recent season of any show. There are some really good episodes but I'm really starting to sense how stetched some of them are but after 12 seasons guess that's gonna happen.

After selling a ton of stuff, I decided to buff up the drum kit a little bit .  Picked up these:

Sabian 16" HHX Ozone Crash Cymbal

Sabian 9" ice bell

Sabian 18" AAXplosion crash cymbal

Tama Iron Cobra power glide double bass pedal (one of the best in the industry)

...so yeah, I'm done for awhile!
