Technically the US release has been available since August of last year. Anime Ltd aren't using the same disc as GKIDS for their 4K release, so the holdback is probably the collector's packaging as per usual.

Game #6 - Code Vein II (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 29.01.2026 - Started: 30.01.2026 - Finished: 15.02.2026 (Story), 15.02.2026 (Platinum) Code Vein II was a fairly lengthy game. I have Nioh 3 in the backlog which will be my next Souls title, but I plan to switch things up and take a look at...

February Haul #1 I survived my cold but some stuff happened with work that's going to cause some minor disruption with the hauls (). In the meantime, we have new arrivals from 3rd, 5th, 10th, 11th & 12th February. #1: The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon & Nioh 3 #2...

By more Gundam will it be titles that haven't been released before? Because 0080: War in the Pocket would be a good one to restart that process since its only 6 episodes and a fan favourite.

January Haul #3 I am slowly getting through my cold but thankfully I'm well enough to sort out my latest pickups. These arrived/acquired on Wed 28th & Thurs 29th. #6: One Battle After Another #7: Terracotta January Pre-Orders Haul #8: Code Vein II #9: Eureka Ent. Shaw...

Nice. I have that as well as one other Shaw Bros set to be up-to-date on their releases. As much as I like 88 Films putting out Shaw Bros, Eureka handles them much better when it comes to space (and so does Arrow).

January Haul #2 As mentioned before I had to work non-stop so today I got the day off, at the cost of catching a cold. These arrived last week on Mon 19th, Wed 21st & Thurs 22nd. #4: Nobody Wants to Die & System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Edition #5: Radiance Films Zavvi Haul

I think Netflix will be handling Hathaway 2 like they did with the first one so I don't expect any UK theatrical treatment, then again the JP home video sets should have English subtitles (like the first film did, especially its 4K version) which is handy if the UK/US doesn't sort itself...

Game #5 - Nobody Wants to Die (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 22.01.2026 - Started: 22.01.2026 - Finished: 23.01.2026 (Story), 23.01.2026 (Platinum) Still in January with five games completed! Going to take a break on games until Code Vein II arrives.

A big Discotek update. There's bad news but good news. The bad news is that a number of titles have discontinued, either due to age or other factors (I'll tidy up this list to my traditional format very soon). UPDATE: A couple of releases listed by Justin Sevakis were already 'discontinued'...

Game #4 - Vanity Fair: The Pursuit (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 30.11.2025 - Started: 20.01.2026 - Finished: 21.01.2026 (Story), 21.01.2026 (Platinum) Four games done and we're still in January. That's already ahead of last year's game completion!

Is this Zavvi by any chance? They did this with ID Invaded a few years back.

Not received a dispatch notice yet. Listing doesn't mention any delays so hopefully AL will get their CE shipped out this week.

Game #3 - Dispatch (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 20.12.2025 - Started: 13.01.2026 - Finished: 16.01.2026 (Story), 18.01.2026 (Platinum) Three games finished and it's only mid-way through January. Pretty neat, but I don't have many short games of this type of quality in the backlog so I'll have...

January Haul #1 We have one package that arrived on Friday 9th and the next two bought in town on Saturday 17th. There was a delay in showcasing the first one because I was working between 9th-16th non-stop so there was no room to take any photos. I will also be working non-stop between...
