does the game look worse than the xbox version ? i guess not, than how can it look bad ?

If he plays on a HD screen, it will look worse than Shikhondo or Aka & Blue for sure. I think I'll put this one in a Naomi.

Oh don’t get me wrong, it looks certainly fine, but it’s still upscaled 720p, compared to Aka&Blue’s native 1080p.

Thx for the clarification

Oh and the pop is huge. Like I-have-no-idea-what-I-am-going-to-do-with-this-thing humongous. It is wider and nearly as tall as my office door.

Really not looking forward to this I wish it was foldable like the DSII one

Really not looking forward to this

Did you get the set of four?

That option was not available (fortunately) but I guess 4 wouldn't make a difference if you have 1 already!

It's not foldable? So it's like a door sized package?

I hear my mobo and cart have arrived but Maria is enjoying a break in the East Midlands.

No I really wish it was

Exa trolling collectors

[zak]

Well....it arrrived. It's not as big as I thought it would be (that's what she said etc.).

I chose Type-D though, so it might be half the size of all the other ones

[Jan]

pics or it did not happen.

[Rocco]

Too much talking but no one makes pictures or videos

[zak]

I don't want the camera flash to damage my kit box.

[SuperPang]

No. 36 here. Didn't take any pics as once you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Literally only had time to set it up and play one credit in Original. It looks fine in 1080p. I was never a fan of how this game looks in 15K. I imagine it looks pretty great in 31K but 3 Exa setups would be extreme even for me.

The sound is just lovely after only ever really hearing the distorted mess that is the PCB audio.

The game feels a bit weird at first. Slowdown seems reasonably accurate so I think it's just the difference in screen angle combined with seeing slowdown on the hardware when everything else is butter smooth.

I'm going to get back into Original for a while before trying Trap Label.

Getting a new version of SDOJ to play is a very welcome end to an otherwise **** year so well done team Exa. Props for the improved packaging too.

[zak]

Whoever complained about Aka & Blue's difficulty is going to love Exa label

It looks really nice. A huge improvement over the fuzzy mess that is the PCB.

I didn't feel any lag playing on a stock Diamond Black monitor.

I've enjoyed what I've played so far. got to stage 4 on 1 credit

Kind of a long shot, but have any of you with a recent delivery of this machine run into an issue where the system no longer powers on? I got this delivered today and had it set up to play (and die) through stage 1. I backed out to the exa menu and upon booting the game again it crashed with a loud buzzing noise on the audio. Reboot told me there was some invalid signature and a power cycle after that I now have a brick. The PSU repeatedly tries to spin up and cuts out while the plug is in.

Sent an email off to support but I was wondering if there's something boneheaded I did or there's some small detail I'm missing.
