Competition between the eroge makers is fierce but good for the consumer - why? Because some of them give away stuff like a dakimakura cover. This dakimakura comes with Beat Blades Haruka which means that the gaming experience is just that little bit more real. Via Akibaos.
Guess it's good strategy... You can then get rid of the pressure given by the eroge and translate into... *Cut communication*
LOL! I sure don't mind hugging a free dakimakura while playing eroge ;3 But I wonder if it's a good strategy, because a dakimakura cost more than an eroge, so basically they lose money everytime they sold a copy O_o
I dont think they would do it if they were losing money, but who knows? @D_Blade, Im sorry the censors cut your sentence... Maybe next time if you use candy bars as an example: "inserted the oh,henry into the Dakimakura tootsieroll... so on and so on.
Well, DRAGUN, the logical outcome is as obvious as a general script for a RPG or a fairy tale... So I don't think I would have needed to write more on that. ^^
@Rikku I highly doubt they cost much, probably around 1000-1500 yen to make, they just JACK up the price because they know Otakus will pay for it. If that kind of thing sold in the US, I can tell you it would NEVER sell if it was more than 25 dollars. Well...at least to the majority of american Otakus. We are a bit more money conscious over here.
@DRAGUN and BandAiD I guess you're right, it's just a piece of cloth with printing on them for godsake. They sell them at 9,000 to 12,000 yen for HUGE profit $_$ I really wish they would drop the price of dakimakura to around 3,000 yen, then I would get a Fate one...
(*.*) We benefit indeed...hehehe!
The brand battles are great for the costumer indeed, because they improve their services against the other. And the circle goes on... sometimes
is it me or this dakimakura cover looks like a door? ('~')
Maybe is it a door after all? XD I guess it is a representation/preview of the actual dakimakura.
So... you're suppose to knock before "entering"? Warning: you're bound to get splinter damage in the worse places.
The illustration that is. Guhh. -_-;
=o
i would buy the eroge just for the dakimakura...considering how expensive those are, its well worth it
Yeah, I agree. But sometimes you can't choose between too expensive and too good. :D
So far I never bought a dakimakura cover since it is rather expensive. If it comes free with an eroge, I think that's super awesome deal ^^;
WOW, Now I would want something like that...
a healthy competition is good for business especially for the eroge industry ^___^ love to have those extras, freebies and specials that eroge companies give out ^___^
Does anybody realize that all eroge is derived from Rule 34 of the Internets? :P
is that "if it exists theres porn for it"?
*nods*
O'll get anything that gives away free stuff...
I'll* Damn typos...
