That's great news. I bought the first PS3 game but this will be more exciting to get. We were already exposed to eps 1-4 voiced in the anime but this will contain freshly voiced material. I can't wait!

・ビジュアルブック

Arcs 4 to 8 is getting the same treatment as the 1st game. 1920x1080 HD art. Fully voiced dialogue, including new characters never before voiced. Full music/BGM from the game etc.

LE version seems to include a visual book... art book? Too bad I cant find any samples of the book.

And yeah the combo pack seems to be the both games together for 2k more yen than the regular price of the 2nd game. Since I already own the 1st game... pointless for me but good deal for folks who dont own it.

Also is a combo edition... with both Umineko and Chiru.

So that combo set will have ALL of the arcs (or at least all of the ones so far)? That's very tempting, I'll have to think about this.

Honestly I dont know. The price on that is insane.

For the price of the LE your getting the 1st and 2nd game? That's 8 arcs.

Why would anyone buy the regular edition of the 2nd game? Could very well be a price mistake, so lock in now at amazon jp? Waiting for more details myself... probably will be the LE of the 2nd game thou, just need to know what makes it limited.

English fan patch for the full PC version is out.

Also AmiAmi shipped my PS3 copy. The post will probably deliver it after X-mas.

For anyone interestrf, Amiami currently has the Umineko fighting game for the PC onsale. LINK (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TVG-PC-0263&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_cate2%3D162%24s_salei tem%3D1%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 ).

Good price, especially if the game is good. I'm contemplating on picking up the 360 version to add to my collection even though I rarely play fighting games nowadays.

There's a four-character (Battler, Beatrice, Lucifer and Ange) demo up on the Japanese XBL store, if you want to try it before you buy. It seems alright - I've been meaning to pick the game up, but have yet to pull the trigger on it.

[Rhodes]

box arrived today... the box was pretty big but when i opened it up I saw why. The LE is housed in a PS3 box sized to hold a magazine similar to G's Festival. You might of seen the image... Beatrice and Battler sitting on a sofa with Battler playing with her hair. This is inside a sealed plastic bag. The PS3 box itself is not sealed in anyway...

Inside the Chiru LE PS3 box is an oversized cardboard tray that is also magazine size, it's to hold both PS3 games side by side. Since this version only has 1 game... there is a cardboard spacer next to the game. Tray has cartoony head shots of Bernkastel & Lambdadelta, each with a text bubble.

Also inside the PS3 box is an art book... there appears to be no UPC or ISBN code on the back cover. Seems to be a custom art book by Alchemist. Cover image for the art book is the same as the PS3 box.

sorry no pics, no camera.

Wonder if the LE combo package with both games also had the art book? Anyone pick that up?
