Has anyone ordered NEXT LEVEL (USB Version)?

[maaya]

did mu-mo sold out this already?

[~angel*ayumi~]

mu-mo didn´t even listed it.
I bought one on yahoo japan now, i hope that this works <.<

[cosmeticmusic]

Omg...I really want this...but it's so expensive...my poor wallet.

Buying it now on Yahoo, is definitly not a smart idea. We still not sure that the stores will receive enough key to cover their pre order.

I thing that´s my buisness
It is better than ordering on that jpophelp shop. And when I don´t get it, I get money back and can try it again on yahoo. I don´t see the problem.

naw I literally only got to pre-order next level today

cdjapan doesn't even have the usb listed anymore as far as I can see. I had to settle for the 2CD+DVD edition instead

I wrote to PlayAsia some days ago with question about USB version of "NEXT LEVEL" because many stores not gonna sale this USB (they just stay by normal CD releases). PlayAsia don't know yet - they answered that will e-mail me when they'll know

Anyway maybe the best idea is wait till peoples lost interest in it?

I don't believe in "LIMITED/OUT OF PRINT" term - there's always enough possibility to buy such releases even few years after.

EXAMPLE: few months ago I had possibility to buy brand new sealed copies of limited edition Tommy february6 albums (that with special package, photobook, long sleeve etc) and they are out of print since ages (there was only 3000 copies released) - price was the same as in the day of release. The same time I bought OLIVIA's 1st mini-album "Internal Bleeding Strawberry" (of course very rare) even cheaper as regular price and it's few years since it's out of print. The same with rare Ayu's singles like "kanariya" or "Fly High", debut singles, her old albums in 1st press version etc.

^ Omg please tell ME *cough*errr...I mean us*cough* what they say back!

[Baernash]

I guess they won't reply anymore. I gave them product catalog number and all necessary info but their reply was:

Dear Dominika,

Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

Could you please give us the link of the item or pictures you are
referring to and we can help ask the purchasing department.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Match
Play-Asia.com

I sended them links to official site but I don't know what's the difference if there's no more info as those which I gave them in 1st e-mail so...

I think they won't have USB in their offert because they are oversea shop (like YA) and their suppliers probably won't put too much effort to offer them such rare items (especially that this USB is already out of print from publisher, not out of stock or something like this)

mu-mo doesn´t have the USB. They just listed the other 3 Versions but not the USB =/

[LacusClyne]

^THERE WAS!

it's weird, i just went there like 30 mins ago and there was a link for the USB, but now, when i go back, it's gone.

[~angel*ayumi~]

maybe the pesrson who put up teh links recognized too late that he wasn´t allowed to put it uop and took it down. *my theory*

[LacusClyne]

my only worry is they changed it to a TeamAyu members only, as in the other links i saw a link for TA members to log in for preordering.

[~angel*ayumi~]

mhh... too bad my friend isn´t TA member anymore ><
I mean I have allready pre-ordered at yahoo auctions, but mu-mo whould be better chance to get... and 2 Sticks are better than none XD (as I could sell one here at AHS^^)

But I think the TA link is maybe only for getting some special extra like that thingy that comes with Rule for TA Only.

Edit:

※mu-moショップでは、NEXT LEVEL【USBメモリー】の販売はございません。
※特典には数に限りがあり最長で2009年3月10日(火) 正午までの期間限定、予約販売となります。
特典がなくなり次第、mu-moショップでの販売は早期終了させて頂きますので予めご了承ください。

The online translator is bad... but I think it means the Stick will go on sale on 10th march.

[TakaSama]

Actually it says that because the USB is ultra limited, at the best it will be available until 3/10.

It did become TA only. And then it sold out in 20 minutes! It already says sold out for me... ><

[~angel*ayumi~]

so no chnace to get it at mu-mo <.<
I am glad now that I gave yahoo a try... I will get this no matter what ><

[Suteisi]

Personally I think it's too early to tell at this point.

There's still a month before the release, it's happened many times before that things sold out really quickly and they had more presses later on closer to the release.

I'm crossing my fingers~
