Song prices are listed differently depending on the version.  It's the same price (1200 points) on Xbox version for both songs but different prices (1,800 yen for Jibun and 1,200 for Kamisama no Birthday) for the PS3 version.

As other people mentioned, burst charm is PS3 only as is the 2nd item of the Sheep set.  (The catalog video says this is #2 of 4 free items in a row.)   The new stage is also only in the PS3 catalog.  There are two money options for PS3 probably to help them catch up to the money dlc for Xbox.

What's not entirely clear is if you have to buy the burst charm and the new stage in order to unlock Azusa's Wedding Necklace.... They aren't listed as being excluded on the PS3 page (just the money, email addresses, and the free sheep necklace).  That would make getting the necklace on the PS3 version quite a bit more expensive.

I've found the official Youtube video link of iDOLM@STER 2 PS3 DLC 02:

The most strange thing about the video it was posted at November 08, 2011.
So we could have known about "iDOLM@STER 2 PS3 DLC 02" 20 days ago! Or it was hidden?

Actually most of the time everyone gets trolled. The good people at bumco usually upload them PVs way earlier on youtube and set the viewing options to public 2 weeks or so later.

Jerks.

Well, considering I know the next two catalogs and their tentative cost schedules (Trivia: Did you know the prices actually went down a smidgeon compared to their drafts?) it's been known for a while.

With the charm, you have to wear it. There's one charm spot in the costume setup, so putting it on adjusts the burst.

... it also means I might as well add a PS3 specific list - charm setups, although not very many people ask for bursts these days...

 Thanks, that clears things up. Of course, now I kinda want to see it used in Honey Heartbeat or something... (Mostly because of the Honeycombs...) Or, for that matter, with Project Fairy, though their song is still Xbox-exclusive... (That time, mostly for color and the actions that go with it...)

Booted up my 360 copy to see this:

One day early. What teases. I can't even download the catalog yet and this shows up second in rotation.

Actually, it's been there since about 2 days ago. They are evil, and stuff. I guess it's a subliminal advert.

More interestingly, the PS3 version DOESN'T show the catalog, even though they're clearly advertising it more.

That is an awesome picture.... can't wait for it to come up on the PS3 ^^

[Corinth]

Catalog is out for PS3.  Downloading from PSN now. 

The graphic for it isn't working though.  It says "Missing Image" but you can tell from the title that it's Catalog #2. 

Edit:  So bummed right now...... you have to have the Best 20 trophy to get the snow accessories but I don't play under my JPN acct..... so it won't let me buy them.  booooooo

[Crisu]

Aah!  It's so cute!

Hey wait...  Are they not letting me watch PVs of Jibun Restart without buying the song?    lol

I thought if I just downloaded the catalog, I could go to the Rankings section and view other people's PVs of the song.  (I just wouldn't be able to produce my own version of course.)  But is that restricted, too?  ^^;

Edit: At least someone has it on YT already:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcUDQhqAjyQ

Ack, something's missing!  I guess I'll never be able to watch it without thinking of those WHOOP WHOOP sounds from the fans.

[Crisu]

lol that annoyed me a little bit in the anime.

Anyway, that's where YOU come in!  Audience participation!

@Corinth: Huh, interesting.  Buying DLC isn't in my near future, but you have a point that I'd have to play through it at least once on my Japanese profile to qualify for some of those trophies.

[blake307]

Just out of curiosiy, would U.S PSN cards happen to work on Japanese PSN accounts. because I might consider buying some DLC songs when I get the game like Jibun Rest@rt and Kami Summer.

[Crisu]

I believe they don't.  You'd have to get a Japanese card (in denominations of JP yen instead of US dollars).  I think there was a thread there that discussed how, but I forget where that post is.

In any case, there are tutorials online.  Plus places that sell cards like Play-Asia.

[satty]

Crisu's right, you need a Japanese PSN card. US cards won't work. And the prices are hard to swallow...50 dollars for a 3000 yen card? Jibun REST@RT is 1800 yen alone.

[ikuto-sama]

Pardon me if I missed it, but did anyone else post this? http://imas.ath.cx/~imas/cgi-bin/src/imas92528.jpg

Wow, I wasn't expecting them to put out Jibun REST@RT so soon, but I'm happy. Can't wait to see what the dance looks like! I wonder how close they'll have it follow the anime version. I really want to see Heart of the Marionette in iM@S 2 now.
If I get iM@S 2 by Christmas, it will be a good Christmas, that's for sure.
