Buying priorities
For those of you interested in what order I'd most like these, here are some general comments:
-
I don't buy non-animated DVDs, so getting animated DVDs isn't as important to me as non-animated DVDs.
-
PLEASE get them in order, if there's an order. Having the 2nd Berserk trade paperback would be nice, but if i didn't have the first one, it'd be weird. I don't have any member of any of the serieses listed here.
-
Don't get me dance dance revolution (DDR) pads unless you know I'm getting the DDR game. I can at least play the game at Owen's.
-
Whenever possible get widescreen and unedited versions
-
Do NOT substitute similar items. I chose these items specifically, and chances are that a substitution might lack a feature I wanted.
