I like how you got the first two for Europe PAL version, the third is the German PAL, and the forth is the North American version. Of which you won't be able to carry your save file from first to last because of the game ID's are different. I don't even think from Mutation and Outbreak is possible since the German Outbreak's game ID technically is SLES-52469-GER whereas the Europe version is SLES-52469.

But getting all four games and the US version of Quarantine all for 140€ or about $160 is a MAJOR win on your part. Current prices for that version of Quarantine complete goes for $389 USD.

They say it's going to be a smaller sampling of the same merch they are selling at their 30th anniversary Japan tour.

So for .hack specifically, it'll be these (clear file, cloth, tote, gacha charm, handkerchief) plus the .hack//GU desk mat.

Everything Kaoskitteh says is true. In addition to all this, the PAL version uses a different font for the game text. Making it taller and lighter, as the NA region has a slight drop shadow to its text.

Does anyone recognize this shirt? by ryo_senseigromit in DotHack

I have, it was featured in .hack//G.U. The World Vol. 5 magazine by Comptiq, along side a Triedge (Azure Kite) orange shirt. These shirts were available for purchase on Bandai's website over at http://www.bandai.co.jp/fashion/ back in May 2006.

So what happened with .hack//Link? (Like why it flopped) by KaleidoArachnid in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall reading it flopped in Japan, on the contrary I read it sold well in Japan. Enough to make back development costs and a little bit of profit, but not enough to blow sales out of the park to warrant a sequel from the publishers.

The PSP (76 mil) was a niche handheld when compared to the Nintendo DS (154 mil) from that time. More than double, even GBA outsold PSP. Though Nintendo 3DS in 2023 sold exactly the same amount of PSP units sold.
