*groans* Oh man...so it is $200. :( *checks wallet only to stare at nothing* :laugh: Well...I guess I'll have to start saving up...I might just get enough for its release. :laugh: That's an impressive launch list though, I wonder if it's the same for the US?

That's awesome they took off the region restrictions...I hate when they put those restrictions on...not that I know Japanese or anything, but it's nice not to be limited...sweet...I might actually get this!
