Color screen would make it a certain purchase for me. Without it, it gets hard to spend so much on something so similar to the old one. Still I would love to own one...

Are the sales restricted to Japan?

Yeah, have to admit, as awesome as these would be to own...that price is pretty cheap for what I'm seeing here. :/

I had a $30 price limit for getting one of those, I watched the first 4 seasons of digimon whenever they were on. But $100 for a digivice is nostalgia mining I cannot afford.

So exciting! But, the price.. Sad(

I have been wanting a new oldies Digivice for a while now. I lost all the ones I had as a kid.

But i'm not sure I can afford one of these. Sad

lol $100 for a colorless pedometer which is basically a reprint of a toy that was waaaay cheaper 15 years ago?
C'mon bandai, IIRC they have made digivices with color screen that were less expensive than this..

I remember the past Japanese Digivices ran around $80, so this is pretty close to original retail... Isn't that sad? D=

it would be soo good


Digimon Adventure PSP game.
Seriously. It goes through every single episode of the original series, filler or not. And then adds on the second Japanese movie (second part of the English "Digimon: The Movie" film).

Wow that brings back some memories. Hope the one I got bought as a kid didn't cost that much though, would feel like i was a little ungrateful.

Wow, 15 yrs already?
But isn't the franchise older than that? I just had a long discussion with my niece about the whole digi virtual pet phenomenon that plagued the US. Thing was I remember the Digimon battle pet games that came out sometime before that. Some might remember them where you raise your dino (Augumon) and you link it to a friends and battle each other's monsters.

Does anyone know an alternative way to buy this Digivice? Ebay already has it, but with much higher prices, of course.

Very unexpected!

I've been hoping for this for years! I've always wanted a new and updated version of the first Digivice. Let's hope it has a color screen.

I wonder how much it will cost...


Premium Bandai stuff generally runs 4000 - 6000 yen. Also you have to be in Japan to order it, so you'll have to use a middle-man service or find 'em on eBay or other online stores heavily marked up afterwards

Of course if you've already been into this like most of us for years, this is all normal procedure.

If you look at the product page, it costs 9990 yen. Which is... a little much, I'd say.

And it's also normal.

Anyone know of a good one? Since its still in pre-order, I don't think I can buy one through one of these services, right?

So are these actually going on sale? Or was it just some anniversary event you had to preorder?

I want to buy one for Christmas I just can't seem to find any of these floating around.
