I didn't see this posted yet. For those who don't want to read that, it's coming April 5th. Sure took them long enough to give a real date... but at least this time I don't think we have to worry about a bunch of last minute delays.

There is only the Deluxe Box version of the game right? I'll try to order it from Blockbuster if that's the case since it's $59.99 CDN there (I think) instead of $69.99 that EB is charging the last time I checked. There's no preorder bonus for this thing, right?

I think Gamestop is offering some lame controller "armors' with preorder, but otherwise, no. The LE is the same everywhere.

FUCKING SWEET!

I never really liked the whole series until Nocturne, but now I'm hooked!

If anybody here works at Atlus or knows someone who works there, pass the message along that Atlus freakin rocks! Incredible translations, incredible games, and you actually release games in a timely *cough* Working Designs *cough* fashion!

Now let's start getting to work on Digital Devil Saga 2!

Damn, I called my gamestop yesterday to casually ask them the release date just to be sure and the clerk said March 30th. Oh well, it's not that much off but let's hope that is the end of it. I've got mine preordered and I guess they're giving the controller armor away with the game.
