iDOLM@STER 2!!

Personally I wouldn't call that 'the real LE' pack either because it's a shop-exclusive bonus set.

It is the real LE of Amiami.

But, there is no real LE without a store attachment.

So it is just the normal edition, plus their LE version.

It is all explained here: http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/cs/list/idolmaster/im2/product/shop.html

Personally, I would go with WonderGoo for the Yayoi Tapestry. But I would never use it, lol.

I think it's odd that the cards and Little Match Girl card are "Amiami"s store bonus. They had mentioned those a long time ago.

And I wonder what Play-Asia would end up doing (expensive as they are, I like bypassing the conversion from yen to USD. Conversion rate is horrible, it might end up around the same price).

I know that they didn't say any bonuses came with PD2 when I preordered that, but I ended up getting the same preorder bonus that would've come with the Amiami one.

Only the stramps are amiami exclusive. Little Match Girl and the Weiss Schwarz cards are preorder bonus, from pretty much any japanese store. Maybe amiami are only giving them away to the people ordering their LE, but that'd be weird.

Play-asia won't have any "special" LE, it's only reserved for the Japanese shops.

I'm not preordering either. I'll wait for day #1 and watch someone on peercast/nicocast/whatever to see if I like it. I can't imagine the game rising in price. Plus, I also remember the sales of L4U, which had something like 90k for the LE and 30k for the NE. If anything, the game will be overly produced, inducing a price drop (similar to FF13).

That's not cool if it's true. Making us pay more for something that we're actually supposed to get for free?

I ordered the version that didn't list out the DLC code and Weiss Schwarz cards, since I'm not a fan of the card game and I highly doubt the DLC is going to be available for my region (although the local M$ distributor here did bring in L4U and the associated DLC). I'll see in due time if I get them or not.

I thought that was weird too because I thought that the WS cards and Little Match Girl came with first prints of the game, and the ID and all that other stuff were pre-order bonuses actually...

I think I'm also going to wait before buying any of them, I still have time to decide (lots of time in fact).

Edit: on a different note, they updated their site with more info on how things work.  Mami, Haruka, and Hibiki... See a bird in the sky....!...?

oh never mind, they're just showing that they will... become top idols (etc.)

[Kaminos]

Kyo => Amiami first referenced the LE without the tramps with Little Match Girl but no Weiss Schwarz cards. And when the amiami LE appeared, they deleted the Little Mach Girl card from the originale edition, and put both the cards and the DLC for the amiami version ...
So I think they prefer giving theses to the costumers supporting them with their limited edition. But that's only a guess, you should ask them.

Ok, I laughed

I can't believe it. I was excited for new screenshots and the first thing that stood out was that in the "Love Muisic" audition, "music" is spelled wrong. Maybe I should toss art and be an editor. OTZ

I wonder about that first screenshot, though, particularly about the "offer" section (what's supposed to go there? Do you have to pay your guests? XD) and the fact that it's a full picture of idols.
I thought just RK could be guests...I wonder if you can actually pick from any idols in the game?
edit: though that might be a little useless...if you wanted a normal idol to show in your performance, couldn't you just put her in your unit from the get-go? XDD

That, and...we have yet to see a 4-idol unit. I wonder if you can really only have 3- and 5-idol units...sans the "encore" for solos and duos.

[animagic4u]

well unlike the duo units where you can place one member on each side...a 4 unit would be really quite awkward. (Unless it was like the duo units in that the girls would be the 4 back positions and simply wouldn't have that front position) But I'm assuming because there is a 'leader' now, they wouldn't want that to happen.

They are slowly revealing the stuff to offer. What is it with Japanese stores and being secretive with teleca?

I like Lawson's offering (bottom middle). Actually useful items!

... I still wouldn't use them, just to keep them pristine. ^^;

I'm the same exact way...

Although that pen is super snazzy!

[TweenDoriru]

Call me crazy for asking, but what's a teleca/tereka?

Whatever they are, I wouldn't want one as a preorder...see, I'd end up picking the Yukiho/Mami/Yayoi one, but in actuality I'd want the "unit A" and "unit B" ones, too...but then I'd have to preorder 3 copies of the game oAo

I guess that's what they want XDD

[animagic4u]

it's a telephone card...isn't it?
(excuse me if I'm wrong)
