Desperate for every last item of Idolmaster merchandise, one otaku bought no less than 39 copies of the new PSP Idolmaster title(s), Idolmaster SP, with most of his haul being in the form of telephone cards limited to specific outlets.
The maniac in question visited 13 different shops, buying some three copies at each (as the game is cunningly segmented into three), along with three additional copies for actual use. Along with the precious telephone cards, he obtained a variety of other trinkets, all visible above.
From his comments, he has no intention of opening any but the three he bought to play…
In total, he appears to have spent some ¥200,000. The three titles are readily available now for some ¥5,000 each.
Assuming the franchise captivates them, otaku would appear to be some of the easiest consumers to market to yet known…
Its amazing how much money them otakus have >.>
yeah i wish i had that much money to waste…
WTFF.. 2k $… in all the same lol
wow an intellectual discussion in sankaku?!
i thought this was all about pronz~ oh well!
you sirs are the best trolls evah!
It would be really funny if his house was burnt to ashes along with his games.
I don’t hate nor envy him, and he can do what he wants with his money, but irony + suffering is always superior to happiness.
Oh well, I’m happy with my copy of Wandering Star and the bonuses HMV bundled with it (alternate cover slip for each girl + trading card thing).
Now if only I had another couple of years of Japanese under my belt to understand 100% of what I’m reading instead of just the jist, and I’d be right…
