iM@S space in Home.

Excuse all the moonrune, but I'm sure you get the whole idea.
Anyways, iM@S is getting its proper space in PS Home, further reinforcing my theory that iDOLM@STER will obviously come to the PS3 in due time.

(Why people still object to this is beyond me, I swear...)

What gets me is the phrase "Go to the new stage!"
Though it's obvious it refers to the new space on Home, I wonder if it'll allude to something else?
Or, it could just be continuing support for Im@s SP. Who knows?

Oho, I like the iM@S-PS3 stuff. iM@S 2nd Vision + PS3 = do want.

the only way I could imagine this NOT alluding to that was when a similar thing happened (with Hatsune Miku, promoting Project Diva), that was still PSP-only and didn't carry a PS3-follow up (well...yet XD)

By all means, iM@S, come to the PS3. We welcome you.

There was no need to say that, now.

But it did bring about an arcade version of Hatsune Miku. Hopefully THAT will come to the PS3.

Edit: Confirmed.

If we do get iM@S for PS3, then I expect imports to come. PS3 is region-free after all.

Well, region-free doesn't necessarily mean the company will officially import it, if that's what you mean XD
Of course, people will import it anyway~ Works well for the PSP so far

Well, seeing as the Xbox 360 version is still Japan-only, I doubt the PS3 version will come here. I was talking about eager fans who can actually play it with out modding or chipping their consoles. Like me. (If I had the money >.>)

[Scotty]

Being released on the PS3 means anyone could play it not because it would come here (it won't) but because the PS3 isn't region locked like the 360...

[TweenDoriru]

All the more reason to eagerly await more tidbits hinting at a PS3 release...

as well as keeping fingers crossed that the 2nd vision console game goes back to letting the player be a Producer and not an idol

I would probably play iM@S DS a lot more if I was Ai/Eri/Ryo's producer and not THEM. @_@

[Pizzaman]

Actually, I would like Im@s2 to have both a regular Producer mode, and a DS-like Idol mode.

But if that Haruka on stage is the final PS3 model, then I'll be crying in the corner.

More likely than not (I think) there'll be more than one "mode" (like SP has Story & Free, and Office). If they'll go to different gameplay types altogether...who can really tell, for now? Though it might be weird to be producing the idol one day and then being them the next XD

I doubt it veeeeeery very seriously. XD They had to Home-ify her.

Oh god, Home-Haruka is freaky. I visit the roulette machines in the Bandai Namco center regularly, partly to listen to Town, but also to try and win something. But I never get the main prize and end up on the red X. orz

I should change my character to a girl to get the Haruka clothes, but I don't feel like it.

[TweenDoriru]

Oh god, Home-Haruka is freaky.

Can't disagree, but you have to also consider that she is a mask XD
