Chart Track Placing.

On the official Chart Track top Nintendo DS sales charts for week ending 27th December, 100 Classic Book Collection went in at number 39. Doesnt seem like a high chart placing, but considering the 'game' was only released the day before it's not bad going. Can we expect a top ten placing when the latest chart is released?

The Layton Effect!



100 Classic Book Collection is selling fast and is almost as hard to find in store than Professor Layton! It's currently selling above the retail price on various ebay auctions.
