I think I have some time to decide whether I want this or if it's a scam.

I keep reading that you can blow through all the skins in the "base" game in an hour. But I played for a few hours last night and never got past the 4th one. Maybe it's because I've never played Lumines before. Or I just suck. But I don't need 20 extra skins yet.

i'm new to lumines as well...last night i got to the 7th skin once, but i usually lost on the 5th one. i downloaded the advance pack...i don't know...since it's extra content, it would be nice if you immediately had access to all of it. it will take me a while to get good enough to see most of these. i was under the impression that there were gonna be packs with music videos playing in the background like the madonna one shown at e3, but after getting to the 5th skin on the advance pack, it just seemed like more of the same.

I've owned the PSP version for over a year, and it's a bit easier on the PSP. But something tells me I'll be taking the PSP with me to work, or even to bed, to practice a bit. It is very addicting, but a bit too difficult at the moment. \ I did buy the pack, but am disappointed to find out that they are not immediately available. I did unlock a good 7 of them, though. Where are those music video skins?

Apparently the music video skins are coming early next year, along with the other add-ons.

Hoo boy. Silly me. I thought the 'advanced pack' was going to be _all_ of the rest of the game. I didn't realize that playing against the computer would be another pack, and the missions/puzzles would be ANOTHER. What a rip and a half. Good grief.

Bought it - Unlocked first 5 in each - Will buy Puzzle not VS or any more music packs if I have to unlock them - Happy thou

Excellent!!! !
