NCS starts preorders for a 3D Rio pad
and a number of Dead or Alive and Rio cushions and other products. The
price of the Final Fantasy III Crystal Edition bundles drops by about
US$50 but NCS expect additional price drops in the next week or two if
buyers don't rush in at the new price level. By the end of the week,
we find that many buyers accept the new price and start confirming
their preorders with NCS. |
