As for me, I've cancelled my order. It pains me, but I have to be sure, before spending 90+ dollars (plus custom). If it goes like DDP and Deathsmiles, I should be able to easily find a copy even some days after launch.

P-A is probably waiting for an actual copy to confirm before they put a check in their compatability chart (they always do that unless it's total region free like PS3).

Cave said they would make it region free for Mushihime-sama as an exception to gauge the interest from market outside Japan. Some have raised the concern it might only be region free for NTSC J/NTSC US and not PAL, but I guess it's safe to say it's compatible w/ both Jpn and US systems at this point. Unless they want to take back their word in the last minute for some reason.

I alrdy pre-ordered the LE thru NCSX.com. You could check their website on release day or e-mail them since they always do updates and impression as soon as they get their shipment. Quite reliable people.

“So far the only exception I know of Jpn 360 games being region free are BlazBlue and the upcoming Mushihime-sama Futari”
Where did you get this info from? I looked at play asia's compatibility chart it just has a “?” under NTSC U . If it is region free ill preorder it right now. Any info is appreciated.

My newer US 360 runs a lot quieter than the old Jpn system, so that's one major reason I'm sticking w/ the upcoming US version. One superficial reason for me to import is the attractive cover art featuring Bayonetta's buns, so sexy right? Compared to the US version of her doing a kick which looks good, but kind of generic...

I tell ya, I've really grown fond of the new PS3 band on the top of the box instead of the Spiderman font, like Ratchet, FFXIII, they just look so cool, except Uncharted which has an awful cover art I think, look at the Jpn one,

not the greatest, but the US one looks like a random screenshot like those standalone DBZ DVDs...

You're right, it escaped me because I just looked at the chart and go “Jpn check, US check, great”, I forgot about my European brethren haha. Hm.. since Cave wanted as many people as possible to try out Mushihime-sama, I would hope they don't leave out PAL.

That's why you're the bossman and I just play random crap! ;) Thanks for the impressions, too. I can recommend the PS3 version to people who only have a PS3 with faith that it's not unplayable.

You guys are vocal 360 importers! I was kind of afraid of putting up the English Xbox 360 news on the front page since people might get the idea that Bayonetta was wrongly region free and end up with a Bayonetta coster.

If you hold “Back” during the load scenes, it'll keep you in Training mode. Then you hit “Back” when you're done to go back to the game. Amazing of them to include that feature!

I still have time to delete my preorder, actually. So, before it ships, someone better ask Cave about this! :P

I'm slowly making my way through the PS3 version and loving it. Only at Chapter VIII, but man is each sequence fun. The Ch 7 finish was especially memorable, and don't forget quotes like "Bust a cap in yo ass." The loading kinda gets annoying after while, but that's my only gripe for now. Also ordered the soundtrack, it's a hefty one!

But I'd recommend it to anyone that's a fan of action games, it's an excellent title.

Can't wait for the two harder difficulties and completing those challenge rooms. Crazy!

You know, I can't 100% remember but I think they were talking about the US when they were discussing possible CAVE game popularity. I hope for your sake it _is_ completely region free, though. That would stink if it wasn't!
