Just joined and been reading all 47 pages, has got to be the longest thread I've read non-stop-in-one-go lol (non-stop if you discount me watching all the video links anyway) and the more I see of it the more I want it to be "Spring 2011" already. While on that, I heard somewhere its secretly marked as February 2011, something about a note about idolmaster on a staff blog made in February 2010 saying "this time next year". Thats all it said apparently and I don't have the link, but that's a little closer. Anyone else seen that?
The only benefit of the wait is that I too need to save up the cash for an Xbox-J. I'm intending on getting the Asia HK/SG version as I'm in the UK (same power/voltage).
I really love both PVs, although I was hoping for a bit more in PV2, seeing 5 idols just looks amazing, I have so many youtube videos of 3 idols and I used to think that was awesome - the all stars are too of course but for in-game 5 is going to be great. I like the new look as well, Yukiho looks great and I totally didn't recognise Makoto, I was still half wondering if it was her I was seeing until I had seen PV2. She looks pretty hawt tho I think lol. I liked the train going round the stage too. Combine that with 5 idols and I forgot who said it but that pyramid idea and an accident could be quite messy.

I didn't get to comment on the first one, but both of them really cracked me up. And I confess to wanting to see what you did for 2:30 on PV2 lol.
