Maybe their twitter account is more responsive. We have slapped a few tech companies in the face publicly to get a response from them at work.

The Watermelon story is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too long for me to even try and sum it up here. Pretty much, the company is not going to respond to anyone about anything at this point. What's left of the "company" is still supposedly working on Paprium which is an entirely different story.... If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, there's a 3 part documentary about it on YouTube.

and the 600+ page thread about it on Sega-16: http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?22142-Paprium-Official-Thread

Oh yeah, I know all about it. Super amped that the money I spent on paprium has basically been tossed in the trash as well 😡

Yeah, I was only in at like $60 (or whatever the base pre-order was) but I can't imagine the people that spent hundreds / thousands on it. *Supposedly* it might finally be on track again (see the last few pages of that thread) but I won't believe it until it's in my hands.

Today was an odd day. Three different packages arrived. All were unrelated, and none were expected.
The book was a kickstarter. Shipping was delayed due to a warehouse fire (all original prints were destroyed).
The PS4 game was LRG and we all know those take time to get printed and shipped.
The Ico soundtrack was an eBay order that never arrived and I had already been refunded for, but magically appeared today.
All 3 packages were ordered over a period of 10 months and all arrived today. :D

Wal-Mart is starting to mark down some of the older Arcade 1Up cabs. This one was $75.
Also, all of this was free. The Square Enix website had a sale on rewards items and I had 400 points worth of stuff. I'm not big on collecting things outside of video games, but if there are two thing I enjoy outside of actual games, it's art books and soundtracks, so I was happy to get this stuff for the cost of shipping.

Did you ask?
Mine was listed for $300 on the shelf, $200 online and app and it had a sticker on the box for $150. However, when they scanned it, it came up for $75. This only applied to the Centipede and Asteroids cabs. There were a few others that were down to $200 and the rest were at the original $300.
If you are interested, ask them to check. It doesn't hurt to ask.
