Following the success of Operation PS3 Haul's first two stages, I have decided to begin Stage 3! For now I can only confirm 2 games for the time being but this has been somewhat in the planning stages for a while. Canadian retailer VideoGamesPlus had a Free Worldwide Shipping promotion going on that extended to the end of May for any item's total from CAN$50 onwards (about £30). There was one game I've been meaning to grab but I had to choose another to get the shipping offer.
Just to recap, here's the first two stages.
Stage 1:
Catherine
Killer is Dead
Shadows of the Damned
Under Defeat HD
Zone of the Enders HD Collection
Stage 2:
Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection
Macross 30: Voices Across the Galaxy [JP Import]
Phantom Breaker: Extra [JP Import]
Shin Koihime Musou: Otome Taisen Sangokushi Engi [JP Import]
Shining Resonance [JP Import]
And thus Stage 3 includes...
Dragon's Crown - CAN$29.99 [£18]
One of Vanillaware's titles, I've been aware of this game for a long time now. It's actually until now that I decided to pick it up. It did receive a UK retail release however it was one of the first hit by the OOP status due to Atlus closing the partnership with NIS Europe. The game is available digitally but as you know I prefer physical media when it comes to retail-made games. I did debate on whether to go for the Vita version but I decided to go for the PS3 one instead.
Tales of Xillia 2 - CAN$24.99 [£14]
The game that I was after. I was debating on whether to skip this instalment and go straight to Zestiria but I felt that I would end up with regret if I skipped out so I decided to get it sooner than later. Since the sequel didn't sell well the stock's going away around this time so I got one from VGP for pretty cheap. I did enjoy Xillia so I'm curious to see how the sequel fares.
