I'm sure only 360 people care about this still, but the EU (aka local) release is due out ~Dec 3rd
Mightyape: $69.99 http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Xbox-360/BlazBlue-Continuum-Shift/7701395/
Firstgames: $100 (from $120) http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/xbox_360/blazblue-continuum-shift
Holy shit that is expensive. Lol but I couldn't resist and preordered the 'fan edition' from the EU publishers Zen United. Got all the random collectable shit that I had to get. It was only like $20-30 more than what these guys are selling the standard edition for though.
Was about to look at their store - down for maintenance :(
Yeah it's been down for a while because they're redoing it, but hopefully up again soon with a whole lot more BB related shit for me to spend my money on.
The fan edition sold out in like less than 24 hours cos it had a Noel nendoroid in it lol.
Comes out at EB on the 26/10 for $69.99
Nice!
Oh man, awesome!!!
That is perfect. It's a price that will make me buy it. Good on EB for once.
this might be PS3 only, and is probably subject to change an increase in price by $5 or so because of GST rise. If you pre-order it at EB before Friday they will honour the pre GST rise price on your pre-order but it's a minor difference.
Mightyape have updated their price to $69.95 (plus their shipping fee...)
Hopefully firstgames will do the same soon so it will end up cheaper.
November 12 for me, exams over >_< will be getting BB:CS straight after :D
Nov 3rd >,<
PS3 right after
Damn they changed it to 29th before was 28th. Stop fucking with meeee!!!!
I'll get it first day anyway as i'm a natural genius and will pass uni eeeazzyy. A few cheating techniques that have gotten me top of my class so far hahahahaha.
Only problem is getting the cash. I'll just scab beewahs and smokes off people to stack it up.
So yeah definitely delayed until mid november (at the least).

Mightyape seem to believe the new release date is 05/11... here's hoping!
I'm picking later nov though.
QuoteBlazBlue As many of you are aware BlazBlue: Continuum Shift has been pushed back to the 3rd of December. In keeping with our promise, we’re updating you guys on the events surrounding this delay.
As we reported last week, we finally resolved the issue that was delaying the game and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift finally went into production. Unfortunately, once this process of (manufacture, shipping etc) of the game has begun, we are unable to control exactly when the game is actually released into stores â€" as much as we’d like to.
tldr; Release date ~Dec 3rd.
:(

Now what am i gonna do between November 18th and then. I know.... super diezal skullah.
perhaps there's something stopping you from importing it?

Yes. US psn cards. Too expenisve and too much hassle. I imported SSF4 and i regret the fuck outta it.
Why do you need a U.S PSN card? If it's just for the 2 DLC chars I will gameshare them to you if you get a U.S copy :-*
$75 ps3 import in stock firstgames http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/playstation_3/blazblue-continuum-shift
51 bucks from play-asia for the ps3 version (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-ip9m-71-bm-15-continuum-84-p-43-bm-18-2.html) or 53 bucks for the 360 version (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-ip9m-71-bn-15-continuum-84-p-43-bn-18-2.html).
Aw fuuukkk. I wish you hadda told me that ages ago. But nah i might as well wait now. Shit.
Hey gene, can you share the DLC characters with me? I picked up my copy awhile back now. After playing that /not so legal/ arcade version with the hacked dongle encryption. I was enjoying continuum shift a lot more than Calamity Trigger, I regret buying the limited edition of Calamity Trigger now, haha.
Yeah bro. I will PM you the account name and password in the weekend. Sorry but it's the first chance I will have. So you have BB:CS online then, keen for some games?

Yeah I'll be keen, but won't be until the end of the month. I live in the wop wops and I have shitty ISP now with a crappy bandwidth limit.
Unless you want me to come out to play, which I also don't mind doing. But will have to catch a train.

On mightyape: Pre-order: due to release 10 Dec 2010
Oh and apparently Valk is going to be discounted on 360 due to the problems.
Fark yer would be different for NZ ay.
Fuck this game getting an update.
Fan edition in the mail aaaany time now
Valk is out (320MSP)... where the fuck is my game? :(
Mightyape still says Dec 10th for Xbox.
not to say anything BIG or diss anyone, but just wanted to mention it.
So release to pal/ntsc just got released for consoles aye?
I'm in cambodia on holiday atm but like a month ago i brought a copy od BB:CS for 1.50USD
it's a copyed version though for Xbox360. (i got a modded 360 and no net)
but i also was wondering about, if i played on the network with these conditions. Would i get banned from xbox live? and if so. under what avail or reasoning? due to me playing a copyed ver. online? or having a Hacked/modded xbox online?

Once you get online, Microsoft have some machanism to check whether your Xbox is hacked. no matter what kinds of games you play.
so yes, you will be banned.
and btw, it is confirmed that BBCS is going to be updated to BBCS2 on console next Spring, and it is free for the patch.
I think it is around 30th June? Seems that Japanese people like to realease their titles on Thursday.
That sounds around the same time Platina will be released

those bastards mircosoft.. they not 'soft' at all! ah well actually it is lmao!
yeah saw that bccs2 thing, but didn't know it's a DLC freeware. thx for update dude.
i like thursdays now
Are you sure aboutt this being confirmed? I'm gona buy it if it is. HAve you got a link bro? I mean the bbcs2 patch.
Yeah I'd be pretty peeved if I got BB:CS and CS2 came out like 6 months later.
I'm pretty sure BBCS2 is just the patched version of BBCS that we get for consoles. It's arcade only, because the arcades machine can't be updated I guess.

so roughly it says continuum shift is going to be updated on next spring and it is free
Which, just fyi, is our Autumn.
Thanks for that erlking :) A bit far off, but that's not too bad. And free is always nice.
It's not necessarily the case that CS2 will prove more balanced in the long run anyway... Arakune is sounding pretty nasty atm :D Also there won't be a CS2 arcade around here anywhere...
Oh yer shot ErlKing.
It's out at EB games ay? I don't wanna buy online shops in case they send me USA copy like SSF4.

SO!
MightyApe just apparently got the 360 version in stock today! So ppl who preordered it should get it tomorrow.
Amusingly, yesterday I was annoyed and asked Skullator to bring back a copy or three from australia for me.
So if anyone doesn't want to buy it from mape for some reason, I can probably get one to you for slightly cheaper, hahah...

Mint i just got it. Fuck that was cheap. It was 70.
I aint getting shit all work done today.
Haha see you online for some games bro. I'm sure you'll be kicking my ass within a week :P
Any idea what character you might pick up?
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Xbox-360/BlazBlue-Continuum-Shift/7701395/
Mightyape looks like they're doing import only?
Basically I think they only got in stock for the people that ordered it, and presumably that amount ran out, so now it's a special import order for anyone wanting to pick it up. Or they can get a copy from me :P

Haha. Farkkkk, doubt it.
Man, there's like three cool looking chars in here. Hakumen, Ragna and Bang. Hakumen looks the coolest though, might go with him. Unless he's like really hard to play or something.
He's easy. Long range poking sorta char.
Lol Hakumen so isn't easy to play. Hard out meter management.
Can get one of you did you say LN? How much?
Nah I want it
So I'm only going to have one copy spare, Skull bought two, one for me and I think is keeping the other for himself (you might be able to get him to part with it though...)
I'm leaning towards giving it to Karizzma because mason only wants to play Platinum who isn't even going to be released until march or later...
Not sure what the cost will be just yet, sorry... deffo under $70 though.
So yeah I got my Fans Edition in the mail today.
Pretty sweet swag that comes with it. Well, if you're into BB as much as me. I may or may not post pics up of the shit I got. Heaps of it already up on the interwebs anyway.
You got a PS3 yet though?
I'm almost not interested in this game anymore, so many delays and now we can't even get it. brrrrrrrrrrrr
You'll be able to get one through cdwow.co.nz, although it will take a while to get to you...
Or if you have friends in AU get them to send you one - it's available in ebgames over there.
yay my copy showed up today .
will be scrubbing out on it tonight :)
yah this game is so fucking awesome .
buy it you kungs and lets get a bb ranbats happening , its combo time !!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I totally agree. I'm pretty disappointed by hearing how many people are thinking of passing it up just because they can't buy it super easily. It's well worth putting a little effort into to obtain.
Wouldn't be too silly even just to get one person to buy a bunch of them to redistribute. I don't mind doing it as long as there is some interest (and I can find a place to ship to here).
i call thee kungs of kungs if you pass up on this game .
if you like rushdown , combos and fuckn badassery games bb cs is for you .
oh and the music is awesome too !!
gimme a week or so to figure out the game before i hop online to play alan , dont really wanna scrub it out online unless i sorta know what the fucks going on .
tho if you wann teach me some shit that'd be cool
also lol at me posting in blazblue threads haha , nver really thort that much of bb till i sat down with it for awhile today , i can see me liking it more than ssf4 , just for the fact i can rush down and put pressure on people and they cant turtle all day and block because of guard break etc .
fuck i reallllyyyyyy like the werewolf guy . im doing some retard air combos i saw in a vid , hope i can use him at a bb meetup , suck if dl charchters arent allowed :(
gunna learn jin as well as ragna , sorta the ryu and ken of bb i guess . noone seems to use jin and he shoots swords of ice
SWORDS OF ICE PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!
how fuckn cool is that shit ?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!
Game is pretty sweet TBH and loads of fun though I'm trying to figure out who to play as well as waiting for my days of to get some practice (since some Kung I live with needs to practice more to not be so shit :P).
Gonna run though those challange modes to see who looks like the character I wanna play.
Just a note, apparently the DLC is going on sale pretty soon - so for those of you who haven't purchased the slutty squirrel yet you can get her cheaper (I think valk will be at the same discounted price).
Hopefully the announcer packs will be available soon so they might come out cheap too...
Here's the press release
http://www.aksysgames.com/2010/12/17/blazblue-continuum-shift-dlc-going-on-sale/
I also might see if I can grab a copy of the game. SSF4 not cutting it for me anymore and the more videos I watch of the game the more appealing it becomes hah.
Alan does that sale work for NZ?
Or is it just PSN. I duno about XB360 but on PSN the difference between content in different countries is huge.

Haha, I can imagine. Makes it heaps easier to get people to play a game when it's released though. I'm kinda keen now that I know there are gonna be lots of people playing it. Looking forward to handing out the damager with my small boy and robot combo.
BB team tourney? What?
tbh most people were gunna get into it , its just its never had a local relese to actually play s ost of us are onxbox s we havnt had a pal release .
im gunnpretty much pick up most fighting games to make use of my te sticks , kof13 will be next !!!!!!!!!!!
It's a good game for a change and as Euan said it sucked before there was a PAL release cause none of us xbox fullas could get it. Now that has changed it's all good!
Not too sure on KOF but I know the next game I be buying will be Marvel baby then most likely MK.
Shoulda just learnt on the arcade cab like me ;D
But nah this is pretty cool. I'm planning to get into KoF13, MK9 and MvC3. ALL over them keke.
Anyone that has a U.S copy of BB:CS can hit me up for Makoto and Valk DLC if you want, I have one spare gameshare left. First in first served. Must be for the U.S copy of the game though, won't work on the PAL version of the game.

Damn just got me another US psn card 2 days ago for Valk DLC
Oh well. At least we finally have our PAL copies, and BBCS stuff is on the psn store. I still haven't bought Valk yet though lol. Actually, I should. I have money now, and Julian is coming over tomorrow...
Do you want me to bring over my PS3? Huahuahua, that's right I have one now.
I got it for $498 too zomg like $100 bucks off normal prices.
I'll give everyone a should once I get my online account working. (I'm kinda not meant to be using the internet for anything since I used almost all the allowance for this month.)
Edit: Fuck I just realised I typed "should" instead of "shout." Just shows how tired I am I guess. And that was at 11. It's 3am now lol.
All the other dlc is out now for us too (and it's at the sale prices!). I recommend the Kakihara announcer pack and colour pack 2 :)
Lol omg finally Julian. Sweet as.
I had to use the $100 Nick owed me, and $80 on my credit card though lol. But I couldn't pass up on $498.
Last day of boxing day sale at DSE.
But Amol (I dunno if you know him by name) from Vagabond/Livewire price matched it for me and saved me the walk down to DSE when I was already at Vaga earlier. And I dunno if DSE has a year warranty on them? Or is that standard for all PS3s? Dunno.
Lol yeah. Well now that I finally have CS (and have put in a week's worth of training) I'm keen for you guys to steal my psn and have some not-so-laggy since we're in NZ matches online. Yes, that sounds like a great idea.
You gotta put your psn up too Julz lol.
Addded you Madaxe. And Julz you need to put your i.d up mane. Or just add me for secret battles lol.
edit: Is there a Blazblue chatroom on PSN? If not we need to make one. IF so , someone need to invite me to that shit.

I haven't seen any BB chatroom at the moment~
The 10th huh? And well, can't we just make a chatroom and invite everyone to it and call it the BB chatroom?
360 version on special for $55 at mape atm! http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Xbox-360/BlazBlue-Continuum-Shift/7701395/
Or ltd ed for $80...
Sweet good deal. Looks like it's time to pick up my copy for 360. Doubt I'll bother buying the DLC again as I never play Valk or Makoto. I will mainly just be getting it to play you guys online. I can always fire up the PS3 if I want to play or practice them ;D
Good shit
Just got back from Livewire, They got the Limited editions instock on both platforms and said they can match Mightyapes Price.
Save you couple bux off shipping.
