Working for me, they are slow to update it though as the game was announced in their newsletter on Friday.

Xseed Games is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvelous, so the XSeed website takes a fairly low priority. If you pay much attention to their blog and forum posts you'll catch one that they even share employees.... or have employees with the same names doing very similar jobs in each company.

I wish the first game had a physical release, it was the PSP port, but I think they only released it digitally. In japan there was a physical release so I´ll probably have to get that and also get Blood Drive in japanese to match, which means I´ll have to pass on this one.

A shame really, if I remember correctly Shinovi Versus got a similar treatment, a neat silver box with an artbook, but I also didn´t get it because some Senran Kagura releases did not make it over to the west.

Corpse Party now also coming to other places on Earth!

I'm not familiar with this series, but it does look interesting. This is available on amazon.com and gamestop.com. It looks like bestbuy.com only has the regular unless their description is incorrect.

The "Heavenly Host Edition" is, so far a European exclusive.

The "Everafter Edition" is supossedley the only edition being released in North America, I say it in that regard because they have thus far gone from calling it a "limited physical release" which was initially offered solely through Amazon.com, to it no longer being a limited release and now being available from the three e/re-retailers you've listed. And Europe is getting a standard edition, the "Everafter Edition", and the "Heavenly Host Edition". It's a bit confusing as to just what Marvelous/XSeed Games is actually planning for the North American release at this point, are we getting a standard edition or aren't we? Are we getting the "Heavenly Host Edition" or is that truely a Europe exclusive? No one seems to know and I haven't had the chance to inquire directly yet.

Thank you for that information. I went ahead and pre ordered on Best Buy to take advantage of my gamers club unlocked discount. They should update their webpage to include this in the description

Just a heads up, the heavenly host edition only has 25 copies left. The will probably sell out this weekend

[comaamen86]

Editions are getting worse these days I would rather invest in Volkswagen shares the take a punt at this ever being collectible

Wouldn't mind having a VW Passat TDi, they get great mileage per gallon and irratate hippies by smogging up the ozone layer. What normal person wouldn't want that?

I get what you're saying though. The "Everafter Edition" is clearly going to be far more common than it was originally announced to be. Obviously the "limited physical release" idea Marvelous/Xseed had stated earlier this year was dropped whenever the original planned number of copies sold out on the Amazon.com pre-order, which was likely just prior to every other retailer announcing that they were taking pre-orders for the game as well. I do believe that the Europe exclusive "Heavenly Host Edition" will maintain some value though if it does actually come in a different box than the cheaper "Everafter Edition". We shall just have to wait and see.

Well they got a whopping 317 new heavenly host editions in stock. So im a bit worried that it might not become so limited after all xD Lets just pray that the box is different!
