G4U! Discussion

[Julio]

Nice you got the same volume as I do. The guy ran out of Vol 4, although I would only get it for the episodes. I wonder why Vol 3 goes for very low compare to the other ones? Is it because of Yukiho being in the cover?

[Daverost]

3 and 4 always seemed to go for the lowest. If I had to guess, Yukiho's popularity and the fairly uninteresting/embarassing cover with Takane are what keep those two in high stock.

I'm keeping my eye out for 5 next. Yayoi's the only one missing from my top three idols.

Sorry for bumping old thread but does anyone know how to get the G4U! photos you've taken to become loading screens for the game itself or the iDOLM@STER 2 (PS3)?

[TheTanStar]

I don't believe there is a way to do that; I believe the games simply don't support custom loading screens.

[Daverost]

Just a heads up to anyone still on the fence about buying any of these: There are some really good deals on some used copies on eBay.

Vol 3, $39
Vol 4, $49
Vol 5, $59

And then some "okay" deals.

Vol 7, $65
Vol 2, $75

All assuming you don't mind used games, of course.

[Saturos]

Oooof.
I would've bought vol 6 on an instant.

[Daverost]

Someone might be interested in this.

Factory sealed volume 1.

[Saturos]

Holy shit. Instant interest.

I was surfing mandarake and stumbled across this. I cant read japanese so anyone know what this is? It cant just be the game for that price i dont believe it.

[SakuraMaxX]

It's just a clear file for holding papers in.  Artwork on the outside of the file is the G4U Vol 5 artwork.

[zeda12123]

Oh that makes sense. I've never actually seen what a clear file looks like in practice so the more you know

[Elixir]

Out of curiosity, what's the going rate for the entire nine volumes, including the first volume in the PS3 LE? Looking at buying.

[animagic4u]

If you end up buying them through the PSN store it's 300 for the first and 1500 yen for each consecutive volume.

300 + 8 (1500) = 12300 yen

[Cael K.]

If it's physical copies you're looking for, Im@s2 PS3 LE will still set you back around 8000 yen.

All the others seem to average out to around 2000 yen or so a pop. So, around 24000 yen if you're looking for physical copies of everything. Then domestic/international shipping.

These are all used prices, by the way. A physical Im@s2 PS3 LE new is around 37500 yen or so, I think I saw?

Are you basing this off something? I can't find anywhere that has the G4U volumes for 2000 yen, and if it were, I'm assuming it'd just be for the game. I'm wanting the complete set with anime and extras in each volume, not just the games themselves.
