Saving for a Japanese Xbox 360 will definitely be worthwhile though, seeing as the majority of Xbox 360 games released in the states aren't region locked, so you can play both Japanese and (most) American games perfectly fine.

Even though the PC industry is where the developers can have their game as they intended it.
Although a PC idolm@ster would never happen.

Almost every american game will work on a Japanese xbox 360, but everytime I play one it redrings for some reason. Every time!

I find it weird that you can play English games on a Japanese Xbox360 but not the other way around. Do they not want us to experience the awesomeness of the Japanese games?

It's just so weird. :/

As far as I can see the Japanese are the only ones who actually care about region locking. Region locking is optional on the 360 if I'm not mistaken. Not sure if that applies to Nintendo products or if it's auto-locked.

Written on Twitter, but whatever.

@SereneMidnight: Cave released Deathsmiles IIX for 360's Games on Demand service without translating it. Why can't Namco Bandai do the same thing for iM@S?

And...

@SereneMidnight: It'll be a lot cheaper to just make the game region free and release it in the US market.

A danmaku's pretty playable in an unknown foreign language, iM@S'd make one go taking a peek at a FAQ every couple of minutes or so :|

It'll be a lot cheaper to to not release a game in the US market at all if the prospects on the sale'd be mediocre to awful.
