News ► Special Deal for KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX at 7-11 in Japan!

[Sign]

Well, this certainly is odd! When you think about 7-11, you'd generally be reminded of an everyday corner convenience store, would you not? Let's take that misconception out of everyone's heads with this little tidbit. In Japan, not only can you purchase games, but they've also offered up a special deal.

By preorder at 7-11 from January 21-March 11, you'll be able to purchase KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX at the discounted price of ¥6,280 (roughly $67.64 USD), down from ¥6,980 (roughly $75.18 USD) and receive a PS3 custom theme as well as a serial codes for items in the KINGDOM HEARTS PC browser game.

There's a limit on two copies per person so if you're willing and able, head to 7-11 and place your order as soon as possible!

Thanks Zephyr and goldpanner!

I'd be willing but completely unable.

 

[Zephyr]

Lol I never knew Seven Eleven sold games in Japan.

Same here! Video games at the corner convenience store seems so far-fetched xD

 

[WaveK89]

Lol I never knew Seven Eleven sold games in Japan.

I never knew Seven Eleven existed outside North America. "

 

[Chaser]

I bought my first slurpee from 7/11 on the 21st of January. It was raspberry.

 

[iDrops]

I never knew Seven Eleven existed outside North America. "

I didn't even know Seven Eleven existed.

I hope we get special deals like this.

 

[Goldpanner]

I dunno if specifically 7-eleven does all this, but the convenience stores I went to in Japan were so different from western ones. You could pay bills, post mail, order things like concert tickets... it really is....... CONVENIENT

 

[Luap]

Video games can be purchased at 7-11's in America too. They're just usually really shitty games. Weird though, considering promotions with an actual game store would probably bring in a lot more profit.

I have translated the 7-eleven product description found here, just for fun

Haha, thanks goldpanner! Makes it all the more official with translations.

I've never been to 7-11, but I was NOT expecting videogames being sold there. Chains outside of the U.S. are so much cooler than the ones in the U.S.

Well, happy buying for all the people in Japan!

 

[destiny seeker]

How funny cause I was just at one yesterday. The japanese are very lucky and it seems like a very good deal too.

 

[Shasta]

That's pretty nifty, having a discount at the 7-11 though preorder. The tranlation says that 358/2 was released on the gba back in 2009, not sure if that was a tranlation error or they just got handhelds mixed up o.o

there are some in the US where you can send mail, but I agree. All this is is rare in "the greatest country in the world"

yeah 7/11 made an error.

 

[Jadentheman]

So does this mean that the US MSRP will be $60? Because I seriously hope it's the usual $40-50.

I don't think SCEA would let them price it above $40-50 considering it is a Remaster.

 

[kupo1121]

That is odd...does anyone have a photo of the complete banner that they have for it? In the photo in the OP you can only see some of it with Riku's face cut off ^_^

 

[Chaser]

If we did have a full photo, we would have used a full photo...

Oh well ^_^ I thought the photo was used to zoom in on the text but that's still cool nonetheless.
