What am I missing? It just says the preorder date for the collections moved to September 12. The system was always slated for November, and it isn't mentioned in the Facebook post.
DarkFact
31-Aug-2023(#128)You're not missing anything, I made an educated guess and skipped the system, and already something related to the DN crap has been delayed.

It's pretty annoying. I bought the LE of the EXP to get one of the first units, and they were like "lol they got stolen, well we're gonna fill out the European orders and you guys can wait until we get to it, but you get a coupon!". I think it's a pretty acceptable gripe that you pay premium and then find out it would have been a better move to just buy it from Best Buy so you could ...actually play on launch. But maybe I'm being picky.
And no, they charge up front immediately. Far as I know, both Funstock and Songbird do. So you do not, in fact, get to "keep your money longer", unless you're just talking about the games, which you are, but I wasn't, but I was also off topic, so who cares what I say

Yeah, maybe. I mean, absolutely. You act like they planned on having that shipment stolen. That's also not what happened. The LE only available through Funstock is what was stolen. The shipments of the standard unit were not. It wasn't like they could full the LE orders with the regular units. And I'd say they made good. They produced more LE units, got them out at a reasonable time, and added in extras. I used my coupon toward the Duken Nukem Vs.

1-Sep-2023(#134)I cancelled my order and bought local normal edition and played on launch. :p

2-Sep-2023(#135)I don't blame Blaze or Funstock for criminal pieces of crap, but I will say the significant delay did take a lot of wind out of the sails. I've been holding onto to my coupon ever since and plan to finally use it once the Duke Nukem preorders finally go live to get everything else that has interested me since the EXP, assuming stuff like the Team 17 Collection is back in stock.

But of course some of the other stuff I want is still out of stock on Funstock (ironic, no?). I have to thread this needle just right to use the 20% off and get free shipping. I definitely have PEGI remorse with those LEs.
DarkFact
16-Nov(#138)Idk if we've got any Funstock buyers, but I'm probably gonna stick to locals. That said, I've got a 20% "Heroes Discount" code from the LE that I'm not using, if anyone wants it for a big fat order I'll sell it for a fiver.

Same between the free shipping, no tax, currency exchange and rewards from using Smile, I get nearly every cart for well less than $20 at VGP.
DarkFact
* 17-Nov(#141)That was my big issue, I had to buy like three 2-packs to even get a 20 pound discount, which at that point it's free shipping anyways but ...I'd rather just buy three carts from Songbird and pay shipping honestly. Sometimes they break street dates to boot. But if you're buying a big lot, coupon's super nice

lol Nope. They were a little before the start of my gaming time. I was a console gamer first, and I didn't have anything to play them on until my laptop in college. By then, there was too much new stuff to play.

Same, though I don't usually order Evercade stuff from them.

* 30-Nov(#154)https://videogamesplus.ca/collections/sales?filter...Evercade EXP is $113. All the games are on sale; most are $15 and the selection is great. I just wish I didn't own everything I want already. (Man. I went and looked through what I have and what they have for sale. I was so wrong. I just bought 17 games. Amazing what $15 a game will do to my decision making progress.)

* 30-Nov(#155)You know what? I like the smoothness of the DN1/2 remasters, but I do NOT like the change in music with the second game. They kept the same soundfont, but dumpstered all the fantastic music from the original. I'm pretty sad.

They changed the music in Duke 2? I haven't booted that one up yet.
I like the new music they added to Duke 1 (which originally had none, being a dos pc speaker only game), so if it's more of that i will probably be OK with it, but I wonder why they needed to change it?
DarkFact
1-Dec(#158)My EXPs have been pretty chill. And yeah, the addition of music in DN1, not a big deal, and if it is hey. Just turn it down. But changing out all the music in Duke2 sucks

8-Dec(#160)The third collection of C64 games was announced for release in February.
I have an interesting issue with my VS and I'm curious is anyone else is having this issue. I have my Evercade VS plugged into an HDMI hub, which auto switches to whatever device is on. However, whether my VS is on or not, it always shows that input as active. If I unplug its HDMI, and plug it back in, without turning the VS on, it still shows the active input, however everything else acts as it should (the HDMI switches, the audio plays from the correct device, etc.). As far as I know, there's no standby mode for the VS. Anyone else have this happen?
