Anybody know if Play Asia will be including the soundtrack with their offer?

Edit: they have all the contents except the soundtrack : (

edit 2: y'know if they're gonna carry it, they might as well carry the best one other wise it could be a waste of time.

Y'sure the soundtrack's not included in the Play Asia offer? O_o Because I ordered it from there, and I'd be TICKED OFF if the soundtrack was jipped from the offer...

The soundtrack wasn't available in their limited edition in the first place, there are 5 different kinds of limited edition, Playasia has the 2nd best, the the best is the one with the soundtrack.

Though of course, I don't see why the OST couldn't be bought separately.
Title: Re: DXC japanese special edition
Post by: John Capricorn on October 12, 2007, 01:17:27 AM
It can be bought seperately but then you'd have to spend more money.  The Playasia offer is about $90 + shipping and I wouldn't put the money down unless I was getting the best package.
Title: Re: DXC japanese special edition
Post by: angevil on October 12, 2007, 06:59:25 AM
But playasia doesn`t have the soundtrack at all, right? Please tell me where is the best place to get it, I need it shipped to Croatia. And what`s on the soundtrack? Only Rondo`s music or SOTN, too?

I want everything..ah!

Try the online shop Himeya. And preorder yours ASAP, I tell ya.
Title: Re: DXC japanese special edition
Post by: Kamirine on October 12, 2007, 01:30:42 PM
I'm getting mine from Play-Asia.  The soundtrack isn't a big deal to me (esp. since I have most of it, erm, now...) since it's not going to be *hard* to find a week after the game comes out.

I want the artwbook.  Cause they'll probably have character information not disclosed in the game or booklet (like they did for Lament) plus I want to see her version of Death with the top hat.  Hope she drew him.

By the way Angevil, is there any more pictures of the items?  I've seen the artbook and now the pouch. (Thanks to your pic). 
Title: Re: DXC japanese special edition
Post by: angevil on October 12, 2007, 02:09:35 PM
that Himeya shop doesn`t ship to Croatia. So please if anyone knows where to order the soundtrack, tell me. Now! :)

I have seen also this picture, and it is of screen protector, I suppose.

I'll be honest: I'm getting the Play-Asia and just getting the soundtrack later.  (The only way I'd go out of my way to get it know is if Opus 13 was remixed on it somewhere.)

I'm not sure.  I hope it will (the artbook is suppose to be pretty big).  I figure they'll sneak in some SOTN artwork too though.  At the very least, I'm hoping we'll get full shots of the characters (like Annette as a vampire/succubus).

I FINALLY got my hands on one (I'm so excited) but it's one without the soundtrack.  That's okay though, I'm just thankful I'm able to get one at all this late.

Title: Re: DXC japanese special edition
Post by: Danial on November 18, 2007, 02:47:28 AM
I have mixed feelings about mine.  It's really cool that the art book is hardback, but it doesn't have any new art in it that we haven't seen, which is a little disappointing.  The phone strap thing has a really nice strap but the richter is just a puffy little cut out that's pretty lame, especially compared to the Simon one that came out a while back.

All Together I think the bonus was just a little too expensive this time around.

The music will probably be on the main site soon, I know the PC engine version soundtrack is there, is the music the same in the remade one or is it updated/different?

As far as I know the soundtrack features the music from the remake.
