Who gives a shit? You're getting the same product either way unless you're buying the LE bundle with a bunch of useless crap and a mediocre CD by *insert Bemani artist here*. The only thing worthwhile in the LE is the CD with the CS songs from DistorteD through Empress on it. The difference is that himeyashop (supposedly) takes better care of posters.

You're kind of an asshole.

You ask who gives a shit first and then give a list as to how there's no difference at all whatsoever because same shit because blah blah blah blah blah whine whine useless shit and then you end it all with a "oh yeah himeya takes better care of their shit."

Flawed logic.

himeya is a tad more expensive but they will actually ship your poster out at the same time they ship out the game, for the most part. Also they're really really really good about making sure the poster doesn't get fuxed in shipping.

Play-Asia is kinda subpar in that category.

Lol did anyone get their RED CS posters from P-A way back when?

I got 2 of them actually (before seeing what they were going to be). Both arrived separately of the game, one in a bent poster tube and pretty much wrecked. The other, poorly packaged with the edges bent in a number of places.

After Happy Sky I went with Himeya Shop and I've been pretty pleased ever since.

I don't even think the LE Empress is worth it. But hey, I'd go the safe route with Himeya if you really want it.

Which would people suggest for JUST the games?
I've done Play-Asia, but I'm not sure how much faster Himeya is.

iirc, Himeya's EMS is about the same speed as the cheapest shipping method from play-asia and they charge 19$ flat rate shipping, so if you're just taking the game, go with play-asia.

Go with play-asia. I've been shopping with them since like, Pop'n Music 10, they're very reliable. A couple times my order has taken a little long to arrive, but it was always with cheap ass shipping and it was never anything outrageous.
