Roommate
Datam Polystar have announced a special limited edition box that should make
Roommate fans squeal with delight. The Roommate Complete Box will contain
the games Roommate, Roommate Summer Vacation, Ryouko Inoue Chatting Room, and Roommate W
Futari. In addition to the software, Datam includes a Roommate telephone card, 9 Ryouko
trading cards, and a year 2000-2001 calendar. All this housed in a compact box. Due to
late notice, pre-orders for this product will close tonight but NCS can accept
reservations until midnight via e-mail request. Japanese retail is priced at Y15,000. |

March Imports
NCS has compiled the complete DC import schedule for March but a couple of
dates are not available yet. For example, Gunbird 2 and Marvel vs
Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes may hit the market in March but this is unconfirmed.
The new Marvel vs Capcom will feature team battling where you choose 3 superheroes and
battle it out against another team. For now, we note the "big" titles below
which should appeal to many: |
| Virtua Cop 2 |
Sega |
03/02 |
| Puzzle Bobble 4 |
Cyberfront |
03/16 |
| Sentimental Graffiti 2 |
NEC |
03/23 |
| Advanced Daisenryaku |
Sega |
03/30 |
| Typing of the Dead |

Mailing List
Confirmations
The first PS2 mailing was sent out yesterday morning and everyone who
requested addition to our contact list should have received the letter. Note that if you
placed your PS2 reservation yesterday morning, you will not receive the mailing until
later today.
NCS have not sent out our DC mod chip FAQ yet but it will be posted
on-line and e-mailed simultaneously later this week. We had originally wanted a couple of
customers to send their units in for a quick mod so that we had third parties verify our
work but since we expect to make the kits and installations available very shortly, it
would have been too tight a time frame. NCS will add a DC chip mod product listing on our
on-line store for orders later this week. Orders submitted through the on-line store will
ship as soon as we have everything ready next week. |

Shipping Date
Proximity
The import version of DC Crazy Taxi will arrive on January 27 but the
domestic release of this title is expected to ship on February 15, which gives the import
version only a 2 week lead. Of course, 2 weeks may be agony for those who have been
anticipating this game for months. |

Playstation 2
Deposits
Many customers have asked us if it would be possible to place a deposit for
the PS2 in order to reserve the unit. Please note that we only require
your e-mail request to reserve a unit for you. However, if you wish, you may remit a
deposit of US$5 to "officially" telegraph your interest in the
PS2 pre-order. This amount is completely refundable and there is no penalty if you should
decide to cancel your pre-order. We'll gladly send the $5 back to you. NCS does
not require this remittance for any pre-orders that we process but it may make
some members of our PS2 reservation list more comfortable. Thank you. |

E-Mail Reply
Time
Please allow up to 24 hours for NCS to reply to general e-mail queries. This
does not mean that it will necessarily take 24 hours for us to reply but we have
experienced a large surge in the amount of e-mail that we receive every hour and we may
need the extra time to address every inquiry. |
