Is 360 region locked?
I think their region locks are software based.

Put me down for this one! I had some random guy fix my RROD for $40 on my Japanese 360, so I'm all ready to go!

yeah it's software based.... I have a Japanese one and hardly ever have a problem with locked US software on it. Dark sector was but I just got the PS3 version to bypass that issue.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I think a PC Version is very likely, because the Taito Type X is practically PC Hardware.

Where's my PC release?

Hey, check out the names on that OST remix list:
Kou Hayashi (Milestone music guy)
Daisuke Nagata (Milestone music guy)
Shinji Hosoe (remixed two tracks for the Karous OST)
I might have to pick this up.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

I'm probably the only one who cares but do you know if Double Mode is present from the Arcade version? IIRC, there was an 'easy' and 'hard' version ...

I'm waiting for UFO Interactive to announce a USA localization along with Raiden Fighters Aces. Although they probably dont have 360 dev kits. Wonder if they can afford current gen technology?

Nice box art for a game that isnt on shelves yet. Somebody work for MOSS? :P

Just peeped out the youtube clip. Yeah, I pretty much creamed my pants when I saw the purple laser. God I hope this gets a US port.

Yea...Double Mode will be in the console version. I'm not sure but from I saw on the official Jap website there are 2 modes, Light and Original. Btw, I love how Moss puts so much love and attention for the home version. I'll be playing this come Sep. 11th. :D Let's hope there's a US release.

Thanks; thought they might drop it or something because of the 360 controller...

Yeah, "Light" and "Original" are the terms I was referring to.
Btw, I love how Moss puts so much love and attention for the home version.
It's a nice tradition that follows from prior home releases; ala III, DX, Project etc... Good to hear they're keeping that up...

Or PAL release, in my case!

Bring on the 360 console region hack. One where we dont have to desolder the 360 flash chip. Thats what we really need.
