Sup. Pre-ordered ESP G II Standard Edition. Divin' right in for that region-free goodness! Air mail for me (yep I'm that guy) since I'm still high on Futari, I can mind the wait.

No, ESPGALUDA II (Regular edition). ESPGALUDA however, is not.

Totally off topic, but I always feel bad when I see foreign posters with such good English, while I only know one language(even though my dad is from Spain).

In a funny way, that's correct... If we go back to the PS2 days. :)

No reason to feel bad, since most stuff in popular culture is in english- turn on the radio in any nation, you'll most likely hear english songs. It's not as hard to learn english, since you're surrounded with it in everyday life.
The first words i learned at age 5 were "Yes", "No", "Continue", "Difficulty", "Time Trial" and stuff like that... somehow i had to cope with the english menus in Sparkster or Super Mario Kart ;)
What i find really embarassing is when native speakers can't figure out "your" and "you're".
I mean seriously, whats the deal with that?
Even i know that basic stuff, and i have never been to any English-speaking country.

(Funny little trivia: i got temp-banned at tehskeen.com for correcting one of the moderators posts with this mistake- he went on to insult me and how i would be a "sad communist bastard" - just fucking lol)

I wish there was a good explanation for that. Sadly, many English speakers just don't care enough to get it right.

In this case, it would be more like buying the OST and getting the game as a pack-in item. Cheaper and easier than importing the OST alone, and I get more for my money even if I know I won't play the game much.
If Ibara or Under Defeat had gotten domestic LEs with an OST, I would have bought them for the same reason. ;)

Too bad that didn't happen with either of those games, and won't happen with Illvelo.

Even more OT, but I'd love an explanation regarding that :)

Returning back on topic, why aren't listed bargain japanese editions of Otomedius and Deathsmiles??
It will be interesting to see if Otomedius includes just a bit of the downloadable content on disc just like Deathsmiles is going to include MBL.

Are you referring to the first post, or just generally? If you want them in the first post, just outright write down the details and post it, and I'll add it to post #1.

Unfortunately both iliiteracy and idiocy are on the rise in Britain these days.

It's a great place for people fleeing middle eastern poverty and oppression as there are plenty of free monetary benefits and NHS treatment, but it sucks for everyone else.

When do videogameimports.com send out preorders? Just wondering if it's like Play.com or such where they send it out a few days prior to release date so you get it right on the day.

This should all make sense to you: I learned English from The Muppet Show.

I've always wished there was more jpnz text left in games. I really should know how to read a game menu by now. The amount of english in jpnz games is surprising. Alot of atm have kanji in my city.

You need to upgrade way more than your taco. If you haven't got enchilada 2.0 you're pretty much screwed.
