Importing Xbox 360 for SHMUPS

[Doctor Fugue]

The Arcade 360s sold out EVERYWHERE in about 20 minutes after the price drop. I'm gonna buy 7 of 'em since they're so cheap.

It arrived today. I must say, Raiden Fighters Aces is simply amazing. The game was well worth the purchase, I am loving it. I guess my only gripe is that the music is all frenzied and not nearly as cool as the Raiden series. I have yet to play Castle Shikigami III, but I have the Wii version as well, so I know what to expect from that one when I get around to playing it. It's great, I just move my memory unit with my profile on it between to two Xbox 360's to play what I want to play.

Do you have to switch? Why couldn't you just have your profile on both xbox's hard drives? I mean, only one is on at a time I assume?

[LoneCynic]

Your profile can only exist in one place at a time. Doing account recovery is always a risky proposition, because if the data corrupts you could lose achievements or other information. I just moved my profile to my Memory unit and just plug it into whichever of the two consoles I want to play. Very simple and safe.

Looks like Christmas Day release for DDPDOJBLX on 360.

Are you sure? As far as I can tell from that site, Christ is blowing up the moon tomorrow!

Shite! They changed it and now there isn't a listing anymore. What the hell?!?

You'd be the guys to ask- is there no chance of these shooters coming to the Japan PS3, eliminating the need to buy an import 360?? Or is it just a limited time exclusivity, and I just need to be patient??

As far as I know, something happened between Sony and Cave and they no longer want their games on Sony's systems. Notice how Ketsui is also coming to the DS but not the PSP. Or, Sony for some reason felt these games didn't make enough money.

In any case, something strange has happened since the 360 has a very small following in Japan while the PS3 is starting to sell well. Why would Cave want to have home ports on a system that barely registers in their home country?

They may release them on the PS3 in the future, but there isn't any word of it right now.

didn't sony kill working designs by continuously rejecting their software? they're pretty antagonistic to small devs
