Otomedius G! DLC in promotion at Xbox Live Japan

Post by Chiaroscuro »

Hi, it seems that Otomedius download content is part of the Deal of the Week promotion that offers content at reduced price.

Can anyone with a Gold Japanese account (since the promotion is restricted to gold members) look at the website and check the prices?

Link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/ja-JP/games ... ?cid=SLink

Please check which content is reduced in price and at which price. My usual Japanese account is now silver, so the prices do not show for me. But my japanese console can still create some 30-days free gold accounts, so if the offer is worth I may jump in and create another account.

Thanks!

無料, muryou, or "free".

It claims that I have already downloaded it but it's one of those catalogues which you can download and then pay to unlock the stage. Easter Island. It's free now I guess.

Thanks, but I have seen that all the catalogues (stage, caracter and another which I do not remember now) are free, but I was wondering if there is a change in the price of the actual itens, either the Easer Island stage, the other caracters and the BMG. Since the offer is only valid for gold members, I only see the old price, so I cannot verify what was changed.

UPDATED: ops, it seems that I have misread something. Truly Otomedius G! is part of the Deal of the Week promotion, but no DLC, just for a limited time online play is open to silver subscribers, as you can read here: http://xbox.spaces.live.com/

"Otomedius G (gorgeous)! Open the online play!
Otomedius G (Gorgeous!) To release a Silver member to everyone's online cooperative play.
Please Enjoy Gold members-only online features! Aims to clear the stage in collaboration with Friends "LIVE multiplayer mode," and compete for the winning score in the time limit "LIVE Basasumisshon Mode" Enjoy! (The game requires a separate software purchase) "

It would be nice if that online shit actually worked. I jacked up a meeting with my Japanese friend who wanted to play and it kept saying "the game session doesn't exist." over and over.

I used to play this perfectly fine. I upgraded my internet connection in April and download speeds are faster, but it's almost as if it's a downgrade.


Is anyone else having any issues connecting to people in Otomedius?

I was able to play with my friend in the States no problem, although the game would end when one of us would lose all our lives. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but since my friend isn't very good at shooting games we rarely made it past the first loop, heh. We ended up just playing versus mode for the rest of the time, which was flawless.
