So I just preordered the "Best Of" edition for iDOLM@STER 2 on CDJapan, which came out to $52.68 with shipping to Canada- that's even less than a standard game here without tax.
Seriously, if you don't have it yet, now's the time, because DLC is going into 3 spurt sales starting today. Songs, accessories, stages and costumes are being reduced for the anticipation of "Shiny Festa". Count me in, I just need a Japanese points card.

Uuugghmmm...yeah, anyway, glad to hear that you're finally getting a copy of iM@S2 papermario. Looks like BandaiNamco just threw a number of games into the "Best of" category including Tales of Vesperia AND Tales of Graces F at the same time as iM@S2. ...*mumble*mumble* figures, after all these years Vesperia finally makes it as a "Best of" AFTER I bought it...though it was completely worth the full retail so... Anyway, getting back to iM@S, I'm looking forward to see what part 2 and 3 of the sales will bring. As long as I can get "CHANGE!!!!" and "Brand New Day!" cheap then I'm all set. Though good like trying to find JP PSN cards for a decent price...orz BTW: The new DLC catalog will be available on 8/2, the song being "Colorful Days".

But yeah, network cards are expeeeeeeeensive. I'm thinking I'll actually splurge just this once and get the 10,000 yen card, since I want a bunch of songs and download characters. Oh, and since I haven't actually played the full version yet, how do download characters become accessible? Are you to pay for just their staple song, or do you have to buy both that and the characters themselves? No matter the price (and how DLC is grouped as opposed to how I post them), here's what I'm hoping to invest into: - Hidaka Ai (GO MY WAY!!, and "ALIVE", but just GO MY WAY!! if I pick one) - Akizuki Ryo (Dazzling World) - Mizutani Eri (Precog) - Jupiter (Koi wo Hajimeyou) - Kami SUMMER!! (Sale for 1,200 yen) - Kami-sama no Birthday (Sale for 900 yen) + any other songs/characters that may come along. There doesn't seem to be an easily accessible list of all available DLC, so I'm only going with what I know. I'll probably end up needed another card. >.>

Well first off Jupiter is already in the game, you can view both songs in the S4U (Stage for You) mode. There's no purchase necessary for them. As for Hatsune Miku and the two 876 girls+Ryo, you buy their costume and then they will show up in the Story mode as you opponents in Festivals and you can also view them singing BOTH, (with the exception of Miku, one song for each version of her outfit) songs in the S4U mode.
Currently the prices for either the Miku and the 876idols are yet to be lowered...mainly as part 1 of the sale is catalog#1 and 2 so, lets see if part 2 or 3 will do. Oh, and some of the DLC will not be available to you until you acquire certain trophies. Mainly these: -Best 20 (one of your songs rank in the top 20 of the Dotop TV) -Best 10 (one of your songs rank in the top 10 of the Dotop TV) -IA Grand Award (You have to reciece the IA Grand Award at the end of the story mode) ...I THINK that some also required your producer rank to be at a certain level as well. I'll go check the DLC catalogs right now. OK, sets you need trophies for: DLC#2: Snow accessory set - Best 20 DLC#4: Magician set - Strawberry Award (finish the game with one idol) DLC#6: IA Awards set - IA Grand Award DLC#7: Gothic set - Best 10 DLC#8: Fairy set - Carrot Award (finish the game with two idols) ...and here's the JP DLC list page, it should be enough to see how much each outfit and accessories cost. I'll list the songs for you: DLC#1: Kami Summer DLC#2: Jibun Restart, Kami-sama no Birthday DLC#3: Marionette no Kokoro DLC#4: CHANGE!!!! DLC#5: Brand New Day! DLC#6: Watashitachi was zutto...dessho?(the song from ep.25) DLC#7: Kyun! Vampire Girl DLC#8: Overmaster DLC#9: LOBM DLC#10: Colorful Days

Just updated my last post with more info.
Also: You cant "use" the songs of Miku and the 876 idols, you can only WATCH THEM, not the 765pro girls, perform it in the S4U mode. That's supposed to be the "bonus" of buying the costumes. The songs and characters should just appear in the S4U mode after your purchase. Just hit the Traingle button to move to the "guest" characters screen. I guess you can also watch them perform in the story mode if you lose to them in a festival where they appear when they perform their encore as well. Though I dont think you'd want to be wasting a valuable week in the story mode when you can just watch it in the S4U mode.

Calculated some costs (without considering the other 2 DLC sales to come), and I can actually make it work under 10,000. - Kami SUMMER!! (1,200 with sale) - Kami-sama no Birthday (900 with sale) - Hidaka Ai S4U (1,600) - Mizutani Eri S4U (1,600) - Akizuki Ryo S4U (1,600) = 6,900 yen, which leaves 3,100. I figured I'd leave a decent bit as I'll probably get kicked in the ass later if I purchase now. I've been hearing rumours of Sheryl and Ranka from Macross (oh good god, BRING RANKA), and there's always new songs that I may prefer more than these ones at the moment. Thanks for all the info, it's a good thing those trophies won't apply to my DLC plans.

Yeah, I'd get the songs while they're on sale though, the 876pro idol costumes can wait.
Sheryl and Ranka?! That's...actually possible as they already did a Macross F collaboration on iM@S:SP with the Ranka outfit. (That was a limited time offer and is no longer available though)

Depends on which songs go on sale, so yeah.
Technically, you're getting more songs with the new idols too, you just don't play them. And yeah, it was shown on a leaked chart of files regarding iM@S 2, so it may very well be possible.

I would love to get some of the songs on sale as well but the prices are killing me after having spent so much on the base game.

You said it, if I paid regular price for the game I wouldn't even consider DLC. Game's around $50, card's like $140.-.- I think Play-Asia has the best deal because it's cheaper and also digital, meaning you don't pay shipping for a physical card.

I wish I could splurge for a 10,000yen PSN card but...as much as I want one I cant stop telling myself, "Think of how many other games and/or manga, anime, goods you can buy with that amount!!".
...f***~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are those goods ONLY sold IN the cafe!!? Why no online shop!!? If they were being sold online then I could've bought them through tenso.com since they'll buy items from sites that require a membership and/or wont accept foreign currency...for a small( ) fee ofcourse. ...any wealthy member that's a regular of this thread residing in Japan willing to be generous to the rest of us? ......

Only 4 DLC songs for me to go (including I Want). I'm glad Colorful Days is 1200 yen. I want to get that song for Yayoi's team fifth single so I'm probably not going to finish Yayoi's playthrough anytime soon until I get Colorful Days.
At least the fans from the Cafe items can be bought at AmiAmi. |

It's a shame that summer is almost over...
So... Spoiler for Pics...maybe slightly NSFW?:
As far as DLC songs go I'm still waiting on "Yakusoku"...dammit, they better release it.
