Finally sold off my 3 lenses, the 35 f2, 100 f2.8 and 55-250. Which means that as of now, I am just 70 dollars into my rainy day fund.

The next thing I will be getting though, is a Japanese region 3DS so I can play the new kingdom heart game I bought as well as some other games exclusive to the Japanese region. So if everything goes well, my gameshop will help me import an ice white 3DS together with the monster hunter game. And this will be my so called birthday present from my parents and will be enough keep me occupied for a while. Speaking of which, I already have more game than I have the time to play. Currently on my list I guess I will complete Dead Space 2, Final Fantasy 13, 13-2, and then the Mass Effect series. All these will take a while and I probably won't be able to complete them before the launch of Diablo 3, the most highly anticipated game of all time. And I doubt my current computer will be able to support that beast of a game, so I will need to upgrade my computer too. Need to set aside some amount for that.

And so even though there are many things to buy, I shall prioritize them into wants and needs. Currently on the top of the list would definitely be a new computer system, follow accessories for my X100 to make it more functional and protected. And they will be put on hold till my X100 gets discharged from the hospital, just send it in on the 10th and according to the technician, it might take 2-3 weeks before I can get it back.

So for now, I will only have my 7D to take photos with. Not that I am complaining of course, I really like how this recent turned out.



Oh and thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, I truly had a good time :)

Just found out that Kingdom Hearth 10th Anniversary Bundle posted in the previous post

only contains
Nintendo 3DS Game: Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]

Nintendo DS Game: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Nintendo DS Game: Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

Nintendo 3DS Protect Cover: Kingdom Hearts Original Design

Postcard Set: 12 cards with Kingdom Hearts motives

What I initially thought to be a 3DS was actually just the cover for the 3DS. And this bundle cost like $350. Without checking I actually asked my gameshop to get a hold of one bundle for me. If if they do managed to bring it in, I will find myself short of $350 and still need to set aside more money to get a Japan 3DS to play these games. Wished I had paid more attention during my Jap class.

The kingdom hearts 3DS bundle


actually retails for US$499 which is about $625. Damn you nintendo, why are you such a money grabbing company.

So in the case where by my gameshop do get me the 10th Anniversary Kingdom Heart Box, it would make no sense to get the limited edition Kingdom Heart 3DS (although it looks freaking cool) as I would end up with 2 copies of the same game.

The best case scenario, is that my gameshop don't managed to bring in the 10th anniversary bundle after all. Which can save me out of a potential of about $750 spent. If they do managed to bring it in after all, guess I have just have to sell off my 100mm f2.8L Macro, 55-250mm f4-5.6, 35mm f2 lenses =/

Point of advise guys, don't get too excited over an item that you fail to check out what you will be paying for...
