what am I reading
I have a small handful of US-only games. Armored Core for Answer, AC 5, original VF5 (doesn't matter any more), Wartech, Deathsmiles. Sort of annoying. Also annoying that I can't get cheap Raiden IV or Raiden Fighters Aces.
Is Deadly Premonition really worth playing through those combat bits? Honest question, I've only seen a bit of the game.
I haven't played it, because I couldn't when it was released. I had already gotten rid of my US 360. I'll tell you in six weeks though!
I watched the Giant Bomb Endurance Run because I could fast forward through a lot of lame shit. The game sucks REALLY BADLY but the other stuff is pretty compelling.
Atlus. They claim it was due to a concurrent US release and that the US/JP versions were 100% alike in features, to prevent Japanese from importing a cheaper US version.Quote:

I'm surprised that Activision would talk about the merits of region locking, esp. when every US CoD plays on J360. Koei Tecmo generally does region lock all their US 360 titles (OK, the US Ninja Gaiden II is region free but that was published by Microsoft)
My bullshit detector was set off by the P4A justification because the logical thing to do would have been to lock the cheaper version and let crazy people and/or Europeans import the Japanese one if they really wanted it that badly. I feel sorry for anyone who wanted to play that game in Europe. Eight months delay. What the fuck? This isn't 1990 anymore.
Blame Index. Anecdotal evidence shows that they are behind for a few of Atlus' uncharacteristic decisions.
Impressions of this are in. Second hand information from Japanese forums indicates that it is identical to the 360 port except for additional bug fixes. Both the game and the Super Play Blu-Ray included in the LE are region free.
