The CD and Artbook are free but only when you pre-order.

In the end this is all about buying NEW. So the best thing to do is buy new after the price drops into a price range that's acceptable to you and don't miss out on multi-player and save money not buying at launch.

How they sell college textbooks seem almost criminal. Can't believe nothing can be done about these type of "business models"

Not to hype this up more then I should, but the trial should give you an indication if this type of game will appeal to you. Not many murder/mystery VNs out there (in English) so this one is very refreshing, warn you that even the trial gets a bit explicit.

Give Legend of Dragoon a definite Thumbs Up. Wish I had the time to go through it again.

Plan to finish off Kara no Shoujo (one of the best adult VNs EVER), then it's on to a bunch of PSN titles that just went on sale: PixelJunk Shooter 2, Contra HC, and maybe Back2tFuture. It's going to be a busy weekend.

Kind of makes me think of how EA changed their image, it took them quite a few years.

The exact opposite of what you wrote is how I feel about Hales performance in ME.

Beat me to it. The same thing kept nagging at me and the only thing I can think of is that she's VERY demanding and not having him eat his food got to on her nerves, lol. For a second I thought she had turned evil and was going to kill you for real. But like the MC says he's crazy about her even if she is a bit crazy…

I believe it's a localized issue. I don't believe I heard anything of that nature from my friend who imported a copy.

Except there's a very defined line between what Kotaku is (Blog) and what journalist actually do. I don't mean to sound like I'm trashing Kotaku, it's just incorrect to call it journalism.

What's funny is that Atlus messed up on the audio in Persona games. They were too LOW during cutscenes compared to everything else. They over/under shoot the middle ground when trying to get it down right.

I keep seeing people mentioned "it's just Q*bert." Does anyone actually know how Q*bert is played?? No it's not basically the same.

To be honest if you really even cared about what this game "really" is then you could simply youtube the gameplay and watch the Japanese footage that's been readily available for months now. It's not like they will trick you into buying this with their provocative marketing campaign.

I would star you again if that was even possible. I get frustrated to no end myself by what you just described, I love these types of games myself and don't see why in general the west is so biased towards them. The type of comments you describe are not going away anytime soon, the mindset of people that really judge…

I thought I was the only one that was questioning this Speak Up choice for an argument. If the argument was more detailed and gave actual examples for the reasons he didn't like the demo I could see a reason to justify it but not as it stand. Plain trolling. Kotaku needs it page views that bad I guess :/

A maximum output was 1080i. 1080p gaming and movies was only possible with HDMI.

If you played the JP demo then I would hold till the full release. So close now I can taste it :p. Yes I'm very excited for this.

For anyone that wants to do something beside nerd-rage at Netflix for something that's not even their fault, please read the article below. Feel bad that Netflix has to deal with this going forward, have had nothing but a great experience with their streaming+1 disc plan.

I will advice anyone to NOT start on Hard, it should have been locked out until completing Normal (Which is pretty difficult itself.) You basically don't have any skills developed when starting out and require them to even get past the first levels on Hard.
