"Back soon" like the classic version "back soon"? Or back soon like for reals back soon...?
Back soon with the "bare" edition! No box, no manual, just the cart! ;)
After the "bare" edition sells out the next one will be the "circuit board" edition you'll have find a donor cartridge shell and assemble it yourself!Quote:

And finally, the "DIY" edition, where you receive nothing but a list of parts to buy, etch and assemble before finally sending it to WM to so they can "burn" the game onto your microchips for a nominal fee of just $65 (assuming the "bare" edition is $55... which would make sense since the reprint is $45, and the original run was $35).
The even more basic edition is where you've given the game and hardware.Quote:

Oh you guys! ROFL!!! :D
For those of you keeping score at home, here is the current tally of editions folks!
Posterity
Classic
Reprint
Bare
Circuit Board
DIY
Caveman
And then there's:
The Paper Edition!
All you get is a folder with a bunch of pics of the box, manual, cart, both sides of the circuit board, schematics, the entire game in binary (or hex if you buy the Paper Hexidecimal Special Edition), and even a few screenshots so you'll what the game COULD have been like. :D
All for the low, low cost of $145. Apparently WM lost count after the Circuit Board edition, so they had to guess where the Paper Edition would be priced at. The rare Hexidecimal variant is priced at a generous $165.
What? Why are you calling me out? If you're referring to this quote:Quote:

That being said, everyone I've showed the game to outside of the niche Sega communities has been thoroughly unimpressed, so maybe that balances everything out.Quote:
Also, what reviews? The only people reviewing the game will be people who preordered ages ago seeing as you haven't sent review copies to anyone; normally I wouldn't dismiss public opinion but when the public is part of a tiny niche with an emotional attachment to the peripheral context of development rather than the actual game it's unlikely that they'll be objective. Hell, it's been happening since the game was announced, it's only going to get worse from here on in.
So far most of the quick-reviews are based on like 10-25% gameplay. If someone rate a rpg based on the first few hours of a story, then hehe... If you don't like rpg, then review on purpose and say "I don't like piersolar", then hehe...
What I always propose, is that everybody who is going to make a bad review of the game, just play few hours PS, then try to play a "good old classic" RPG you've barely played before. Just make the experience, for real... Then finish PS and make your review.
Hmm still waiting in NY... I can't believe I was hoping to receive the game before Xmas! Oh well.
Hey how many of you guys ordered the Posterity Edition early on, and put in a message about the girl that you love, and then u broke up before the game came out? I can't be the only one. :D Then again, when I show her my message that I love her in the Pier Solar stuff, she'll surely come back to me. :cool:
And yet another week of mail finished, and still no Pier Solar for me.
Man, I waited too long to order. Oh well...
I have a question about the posterity edition. What exactly did/does that entail? If you could get it personalized in some way, then who would want to buy one that was personalized for someone else?
