Idolm@ster 2 on PS3

[Elixir]

Is the Asian version completely out of print? I can't find any copies on Play-Asia, Yes-Asia or eBay.

I think so...I think the only left copies are Japan version, which will cost you around $8x-9x...

See the problem here is that Yes-asia never got any copies in the first place.
I would know.
*hysterical sobbing*

So I'm waiting for the regular edition price to drop or for there to be a magical restock because it is expensive as all fuck.

[Cael K.]

The price of the game will only go down. I'd say give it a few more months... unless you really can't wait.

It's gonna be so hard to choose on this DLC!

Choose? You'll get everything eventually. You know it's true! ^^

Let's call it prioritizing instead.

This is the truth. I don't know how they do it to us, but they do.

If you're referring to the eventual cheap re-releases, I think those take about a year.  That's about how long I waited for the PSP games to go down in price, I think?  They were labeled "The Best" or something.

[zeda12123]

the Xbox version took about half a year to go down, right? Or is that just my horrible sense of time kicking in again?

[Elixir]

Thanks guys. I'll wait, I'm in no real hurry to buy this game a second time. Hopefully it will be under 4000 yen by the time Eri is in.

[Cael K.]

Just looking real quick, the limited edition is down by 40% if you get it used. The standard is down by about 25% (but is still expensive, that 40%/25% doesn't do much to change that).

... And I think it took three or four months for the XBox360 version's official MSRP price drop. -_-;

For me, I would just grab the songs first, seeing as the costumes cost a pretty penny, and it's gonna take me some time to raise the money and convince someone to buy a Japanese PSN card online. Having no way to get stuff online sucks.

And the inclusion of Ai makes me interested in the possibility of having Eri and Ryou. I just hope Namco Bandai wouldn't do a pack that permits the three to feature together...although I have a feeling that's gonna happen anyway.

I'm pretty sure that's what Setsuna is hinting at.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CAPS IN THE WORLD TO DESCRIBE MY JOY FOR 876 LOVE

Gone for a week and I come back to this...there are no words to describe how excited I am.
And the fact that I can't afford any of this. XD

Ai looks beautiful in 3D. I hope they bring in Eri and Ryo too! (Especially Ryo...maybe he'll get to sing some of the Jupiter songs and experience being a normal guy idol for a change?)

And it seems like they're getting more fancy with the Floral design outfit patterns. The outfits are okay, not high on my priority-buying list, but Heart of the Marionette definitely.

[Neko-P]

The others are coming (Is it not obvious?) and they're showing up for a very specific reason. The only hint I got (more verbal sparring) is to watch the end of the anime, which I imagine he means that it opens to something else.

"Something else," huh?

What bothers me is the timing - I'm not sure if they shelved the Jupiter extension, or if they're saving it for later, because I thought they were going to do that before 876. Then again...

JUPITER EXTENSION?!

... I've never been so happy with the Namco before, for them to be doing everything I've been wanting them to. From the song choice, to the inclusion of the 876 idols, to Jupiter DLC.... (Sniffle)

Man what a tease, I saw the vol 3 splash image on my ps3 and i was like, woot it out, to find out it not. Well just a few days.

For those who are curious enough to want to see the catalog image (This time two days early!):
