And AFAIK, MS USA won't honor a Japanese 360's warranty. This may sound pessimistic, but I could afford a PCB for the cost of a game, a 360, and the replacement 360 I'd have to buy when the first console failed...

But honestly, if MSFT keeps this up then I may in future think about getting an Xbox (provided they come to this side of the Pacific.) “Seems like an odd choice actually… No one really cares about shmups like Ibara, Homura, Mushihimesama or ESPGaluda (still the best shooter ever) in America”

I don't know in that case. I guess the 360 is just that easy to port to for these types of studios.

It's not much of a jump for a company to also put these to PSN to begin with. Plus you can't underestimate the power of something being $10 compared to $30+ in retail. If there ever was a time for this genre to come back on a worldwide scale it's now.

No one really cares about shmups like Ibara, Homura, Mushihimesama or ESPGaluda (still the best shooter ever) in America, where the 360 is the premiere console. Those games would be much more suited on a Playstation console; where they have already been released.
