JB Hello-Fi at the moment are promoting some Restricted Run Video games releases

Probably the most annoying factor about boutique, small print-run Swap releases—apart from the year-long wait instances—is often the transport, typically from the US. So what in the event that they had been simply obtainable from an area retailer as a substitute?

Nicely, now a few of Restricted Run Video games’ releases are. JB Hello-Fi has quietly listed a handful of them on the market. These aren’t the reprints we’ve seen earlier than of beforehand unique titles, however precise numbered LRG releases—and so they’ve obtained a price ticket to match. Curiously, many of those aren’t even obtainable from LRG anymore, so the place JB or the distributor sourced them from is a little bit of a thriller.

And what about the fee? We crunched the numbers: as soon as you change from USD to AUD (preserving in thoughts the speed could have been completely different at launch) and consider transport, JB’s costs aren’t overly marked up a lot in any respect.

There’s simply ten titles on the time of writing and never obtainable in each retailer simply but.
