XIII demo is offered on Advent Children, so you actually have to buy the movie to get it.

I know. And I might have a chance to play the Demo for free. My job nature allows me to.

Game Purchaser for a local retail chain actually.

Had ordered 60+ copies of the Blu Ray first print to sell from my supplier in Hong Kong. Now it's all depends on whether he can meet my demands. If he does, I can just take a copy for a free spin. And just repackage the entire damn thing to sell to some unsuspecting fanboys/girls later.

I know it's unethical. But if you been in the line for long enough, it's actually the norm.

yep gamestop does this too, go figure. But to sell it as new would never fly in the US, because thats false advertising, but hey I'm assuming your not in the US.

Isn't it obvious ? Which sane retail chain in America will order some Japan Release Blu-Rays to cater to what possibly can be a very unprofitable niched crowd, with the yen rising and all

But here, take it as an equivalent trade. If my purchases arrived on time, barring any mishaps such as a lack of stock, detention of goods at the customs, etc. People here will hear a first hand impression on the Japanese Street Date while I play the demo for free.

FF7 for ¥1,500? For download I don't think so, compared to every other PS1 game on the store being ¥600.

Wow, i didn't knew it was so expensive in comparison to the others. FF7 is FF7, but MGS is a classic too and didn't got a price like that. A game i want and never came to the us store is Ganbare Goemon for PS1. I know that the Jp store sells it, but the us just ignore the game... That's the only one PS1 game that i would download for sure.

Disk 4, the perfect guide, is included in the FF7 download from PSN.

Not that I think it justifies the 1500 yen price tag...

Amazon JP sells FF7 at about 2500 yen.

It's a separate disc.



Also, i took Rag Doll kung fu from a friend. It's a nice game, very entertaining. If you like fight games Smash Bros type, i recommend.

Only game discs are region free... Not the movie... but the movie will play on a North American console since Japan and North America is in the same region code for Blu-ray.

Doesn't sound too good. I still hope to see the US version with dual voice, but it seems that the chance is quite slim now.

First it was Vesperia will never come to the PS3 . Now its Vesperia will never be released for the PS3 in the US . Won't surprise me if the 360 fanboys say something like Vesperia will blow up your PS3 next .

Quote:
Look at the Japanese and North American boxart. Only the North American version includes the ONLY ON XBOX 360 logo. Even Star Ocean: The Last Hope's North American boxart doesn't have the logo, so Microsoft might have funded the localization of the game outside of Japan, which would explain why the logo was only on the North American version, and why it was released so quickly after the Japanese version.
There is no proof of this whatsoever that MS funded the translation . Everyone can speculate but no one will ever know . Also , it makes little sense for MS to fund the translation since the reason they wanted Vesperia and the other Jrpgs on the 360 was to push the 360 in Japan. PS , the logo bit is bull . MS sticks the logo on almost everything that comes to their platform first .
EG :


Quote:
The additions in Vesperia for PS3 push doubts even further. Considering the amount of new voiced material needed, these additions wouldn't be a quick job in the recording studio. As the PS3 is region-free, with so much dialogue, if the English voice actors weren't available to reprise their roles a delay is possible, encouraging import sales. Considering this version could be considered by some fans as a Director's Cut, they would be unlikely to pay again just to have the English version. This could also cause an situation where the original voice actor for any given character might not be available, leaving them to either forgo voicing the extra scenes for that character, or replacing them entirely, causing even more voice work to have to be done.
Oh yes so now everyone who wanted to play Vesperia has already played it? Give me a break , not everybody would buy a 360 just to play it . About the VA thingy , I've read that the script is about 1 page longer (From 5 pages long) . I believe Eternal Sonata for the PS3 was around that much longer so i don't see what the issue it . At worst , they would just not record the audio for certain scenes . Essentially all the voicework is almost done anyways .
Quote:
the Xbox 360 version will be released in Europe this summer. If the PlayStation 3 version was announced for North America in the next few months, how would the people who felt they got suckered into buying an "incomplete" version? Like the possibly voice actor delay, to maximize the sales of the European version, they would need to delay a North America version of the PlayStation 3 version, causing sales to go to the import version.
Blame MS? Moneyhatting everything screws everyone up.

To me all of this sounds like sour grapes on the part of 360 fanboys . While i do hope and expect it to come to the NA , all this bitterness and negativity from these closet 360 fanboys cracks me up.
