360 and PS3 release of BlazBlue confirmed.
Releases in Japan and US on 30/06/09
The PS3 version of the US release will be region free, however the 360 version will be region locked, and so won't work here unfortunately.
IPlayWinner review : http://www.iplaywinner.com/news/2009/6/29/ipw-review-blazblue-calamity-trigger-910.html
You aren't going to need an import account for the PS3.
Year of the fighters eh. Another fighter to look forward to for the consoles. Although I gave this game a go in the arcades and I got absolutely slaughtered. But that isn't going to stop me from buying the game.
This now has a release date! June 25th in JP, hopefully not long after for restofworld...
A month before KoFXII. Probably will import.
I was about to say, "but doesn't kofxii come out THIS year" then i realised that it wasnt 2008. Fuck im an idiot.
On my birthday? Might as well pick this up!
What console are people going to buy this for? I'm really keen on it but not sure how people will be playing it on ps3. Mite snag a 360 if enough people are on live for this.
I'll be on PS3. WHO ELSE DO YOU NEED!?
I'll be grabbing a copy of this for PS3.
If I can get my hands on it, I'll get it for 360...
360 for me. Kinda wish I didn't sell my ps3 but I NEVER used the fucking thing >:(
Ill be getting it for 360.
I tought you cant play jap 360 games on pal 360?
I'll prob get it for PS3 and then 360 if theres enough comp
Ahh fuck. For some reason i had in my head that this was gonna be worldwide like KOF XII. Its not. I just confused myself.
It is getting a worldwide release isn't it?
Jesus i dont even know anymore.

Good god those are shitty sticks.
I'll get the JP 360 version (since I have a JP 360).
The joys of PS3 not being region locked, I'll prob pick up a US copy.
I'll get whatever copy everyone else is getting and try to combine shipping

I have a modded HRAP2 coming. Works with 360.
pilfered from another forum.
http://www.giantbomb.com/news/first-run-copies-of-blazblue-get-a-bonus/1215/
Aksys Games laid out a pretty attractive package today for a limited edition version of the upcoming fighting game, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. The late-June release will come in larger packaging to make room for a two-disc soundtrack and a tutorial disc that features top BlazBlue players going over each character and explaining what you'll need to do to succeed with each one, as well as combos and some match videos.
That's a pretty cool-sounding package, but it's one of those "act fast" sort of deals, as this stuff will only come with the first-run copies of the game. The upside to that is that this isn't a typical split between a standard edition and a limited edition. Instead, all the first-run copies will get this bonus stuff, and the price of the game remains the standard $59.99. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Here's a look at the PS3 version:

Apparently the 360 US release is region free, so we can import it!
Anyone want to go in for a 'bulk' preorder?

I would be interested. Depends on the cost i guess.

$57US (a.k.a. $90NZ + shipping).
That's for the limited edition version w/sound track, art book & tutorial disc!)
Still interested?
Yep.
Cool, if no-one else is interested, I'll pre-order it today or tomorrow.

PS3 US import (limited ed) straight from MightyApe...
There is also a guy on trademe that sells ps3 imnports and he gets them about the same time as Mightyape. Bevan (Dead_Manz_Hand) said he's usually about $20 cheaper as well. If anyones interested I might be able to find his username.
I think importing them myself will probably be the cheapest... I also forgot my credit card today so I'll have to order them after work. There's still a few hours if anyone wants me to get one...
hrm, shipping is a battle raper. $44US shipping for the two... which makes it $120 each. That's starting to get a little expensive... what say ye Bill?
For whomever buys this and gets it with the tutorial disc, anyone interested in burning the tutorial disc/s, and sending them to me? Will flick you the cash for posting and $10 or so?
I'll hook you up if I get it (and of course the disc is easily burnable).
Just waiting on Bill's response...
As long as its the 360 version. If youre keen for $120 then i dont mind. It is pretty expensive but meh. I only spend my money on dumb shit anyway.
ok sweet
Ordered bill :)
I think it's only like 3-5 days shipping or so, so we should have it ~ 5th July.
lol, sounds like play asia styles >_<
Wicked
Fuck. Despite Aksys sending out a message SPECIFICALLY saying that US 360 version WOULDN'T be region locked, the upper toffs have just sent out a subsequent email rescinding that and saying it IS region locked.
I was *really* looking forward to this, too :(
So I cancelled the order, sorry Bill :(
In related news, can anyone hook me up with a PS3 for cheap? :/
Haha, yeah I'm still tossing up whether to get this at the ned of the month of not?
Meanwhile I'm going to go home and hug my PS3 and it's growing pile of imported region free games.

You can come to my house in the weekend, we'll have a slumber party and I can brush your hair! Srsly though I heard a price cut was in store once Madden comes out. They said like $100 US too =/
I wanted a PS3 for bluray, but the list of reasons to get one is expanding. That being said, i do heart my 360.
Tell me about it... I'm pretty pissed off about this BlazBlue thing, I was really looking forward to playing it.

Dang me too ! Are you sure none of the other verions are going to be RF ?
I'm pretty sure the release will just be later =(
Well, there's absolutely no talk of a EU release yet, and it's not Aksys that does the EU ports, so I'd say mid 2010 if at all.
omg I feel so sorry for you guys =( You can break into my house and play whenever you want <3

You gonna have to join the PS3 army, go on you know you want to.
$500 for one game? I probably haven't even spent that much on rock band yet.

yes now I shall be coming to your house to play your imported ps3 copy muhahahahhaha
I don't mind driving around to locations to setup my PS3 for people to play BlazBlue credit free. That is if Mighty Ape deliver.

DAMN! They had 40gb ps3's at kmart last week for $399
Yeah, I was waiting for you to get online the past 2 days to ask you about that deal, I guess it's over now?
I'm interested, but I can't afford to play right away... do you accept weekly payments? :D
The dates been shifted to 03/07/09
So if I buy the JP version for my JP 360, it looks like I won't be playing with any of you guys.
PS3 sucks though. I have one, and it scratches itself whenever I look at it. It gets some pretty good Blu-Ray usage, but that's about it.
Come to think of it, would a HRAP -> PS2 to USB adapter -> PS3 work? I mean, it works for PC, but I don't have an indirect USB stick.
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/PlayStation-3/Accessories/auction-226952009.htm
This adapter should do the trick but there is always a chance of input lag/dropped inputs. If have your own adapter then just plug it in and see.
We need some Blazblue players on PSN
All you need is da Smoofkaka
First Games has this in stock in NZ already for $125! Ordering tonight!
http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/playstation3/blazblue-calamity-trigger
Wicked. :D
Presumably the japanese version imported.
I actually mentioned BB to him a while back, so feel free to thank me :)
first games is awesome.
Yeah import.
He's been doing a LOT of imports on there recently. If this goes well I'll probably use him for most of my games.
iPlayWinner put up a really good review of this:
http://www.iplaywinner.com/news/2009/6/29/ipw-review-blazblue-calamity-trigger-910.html
Hope this game really takes off!
Yeah, me too! I like this more than SF4 tbh ><
It has the ESRB logo on their site. Is it the JP version they're selling, or the US one?
If it was the Japanese version, it would have a CERO label.
US on Mightyape, JP on firstgames
First Games said on the phone he would have the U.S version as as soon as his order arrives and he will list it on the site as the U.S version.
So is he selling the JP version or not? I don't want the US version.
He is currently selling the JP version, so yes.
Does it matter which version of Blazblue we purchase? For example if I get the asian version will it still work for my nz PS3?? Thanks in advance, I will most probably buy it if it will.

ps3 games are region free so yes it will work. id consider waiting for firstgames to get the american limited edition one though, only a few days to wait :)
