Oh happy day. Everybody make sure you buy lots of copies, as they say the sales of this will impact whether or not they make their next titles region free as well.

I pre-ordered mine right after I read the news on Kotaku. I've had some money set aside in anticipation of this announcement. Now I just hope it sells!

BOMB!!!!

So happy! SHMUPNESS OVERLOAD!!! (Goes out and starts dancing in the streets.) Now to buy an Xbox 360....

I going to preorder but i'm waiting on playasia to put the limited edition up. Really hope this sells so we can get more of their games region-free.

Really great news for those without a JP 360, it's safe to say Mushihime-sama Futari is my most anticipated game of the year, really can't wait to get my hands on it. Also, yesasia have the Limited Edition up for pre-order now.

Gonna go pre-order this soon.

[MrPopo]

Sweet, I'll have to get this. Which site would you guys recommend for the preorder?

[brickiemart]

Holy hell, that limited edition is pricey. What does that version include over the normal edition? Is it just packaging or is there more game to be had?

[crux]

Packaging and an arranged soundtrack, I believe. Prices like that for LE shooters are pretty common, as they're always so limited in numbers and always sell out, so they get away with the markup because of the rarity. They nearly always maintain their value as well.

I can't justify a LE unless it comes with something, and even then it usually needs to be something that affects the game. The recent Beatmania games have a ton of stuff that come with the special packaged editions, but I still can't justify it because it's all packaging or music and videos that can be found in the game anyway. If it comes with a controller or an improved controller, though, it's all mine. Too bad The Beatles: Rock Band LE was so vastly overpriced and otherwise cheap. /end tangent

Exciting news for Mushihime, even if I already own a Japanese 360. I've had the game pre-ordered for over a month now anyway, but it'll be nice to be able to play it in my American console, in any event.
