 I think you're talking about Sofmap Shinjuku. They ran out of the game 
in about an hour or so.

 There's a bunch of stores in Akihabara, but all the stores ran out. I 
guess this is a lesson for all of us; make a reservation if you really

 There's a official guide book that will be comming out in Mid Oct. I've 
placed a reservation for them already. (This time, I don't want to miss 
it. The guide book for tales of fantasia were all sold out in a day or

when it came out ;_;)
