I bought Deathsmiles for 60 bones, and both BlazBlue games upon release.
That is all, you can BAN me now for all I care.

Why do people think that yelling and screaming at Aksys is going to convince them to release AH3 on the 360?
"Hey -your mother is a classy lady-! -your mother is a classy lady- off! I hope you all die of AIDS you -cuss word that got past the censor filter-! Now give me Arcana Heart 3 on 360!"
I mean, seriously, doesn't that sound a bit counterproductive?
And I thought we went over this. Aksys tried a multiplatform release but for reasons they're not at liberty to discuss, they can't. Whoever is to blame, it's not Aksys. What, do you think they WANT to withhold games that people would pay for?

Damn, sorry about double post
By the way, Aksys, we need to talk about your censor filter. -your mother is a classy lady- is censored, but one of George Carlin's seven words you can't say on TV isn't?
I don't want to be accused of bypassing the censor filter, so I'll just say it's the one with ten letters.

As Aksys isn't at liberty to state why they went PSN only, then there isn't much for us fans to do other than hope Zen United wants my money with a region free Xbox 360 release (as any PS3 owner who would rather have a retail version can easily import the game from anywhere).

I am still mad about this.....I think that BS about Whoever is to blame, it's not Aksys.
yes Aksys take some of the blame they could release the game on disk. the only reason it not coming over is aksys want to put it on XBL and we all know MS policy on that but it could come over on disk like the japanes and EU versions. Atlus get Catherine on the x box 360 ok. so that tell me Arcana Heart 3 had nothing to do with continence.Posted 1 year ago # -

Sony of America, in their never-ending quest to continue to suck, refuses to allow the game to be released on disc. Microsoft, in their never-ending quest to be stubborn, refuses to allow the game to be released via digital download.
Now this is all just theory here, so nobody quote me on this, but assuming all of what I just said is true, then Aksys is forced to either go single platform, or release digital download on one system and disc on another, and we all know how well that went over last time (assuming they have the choice to even do THAT). If they are forced to go single platform, they're going to want to go with the system that will spur the most interest, and sad to say, that's the PS3. Look at how fighting games have had a larger install base on that system lately. Especially games like Blazblue.
Again, this is all conjecture. There's a very good chance I'm dead wrong in all of this.

I think that's the case. The thread at NeoGaf seem to point in that direction, at least. Basically, (and don't quote me on this, either!) if all assumptions of Xbox's digital policies are what a few are stating are true, then there was no virtual way to release Arcana Heart 3 as a download, period.
I forgot the exact details, but it's believed that if there is no retail release then it can't go on one service. If they used another service it wouldn't be possible either because the game didn't qualify for the download requirement. So, you can probably see what happened. No telling the exact reason 'cause no one is telling. I'm inclined to think that might have been the case.Since it's being sold at retail in Europe they might release that as a download, but don't get your hopes then, either. If I read right from others about this, you can't download certain games from other regions even if you have an account in that region because the download itself is region protected. At least, that's how it is with the Xbox.
For example, I have a Japanese account on Xbox and can download demos, gamerpics, etc., but I cannot download a full game of Idolm@ster because my IP has to be in the Japan region. So, even if I had a Japanese console I probably can't download the full game because I'm in the U.S.
That's from what others have told me, so I can't confirm it myself.Quite a predicament! I'll say support the PS3 release. Aksys has shown good faith when they announced that the PS3 version of Agarest Zero was getting a retail release when the first game was PSN only while the Xbox got retail. I think that might have been because of people's support and efforts. Give and take.

Member@JasonPaul The only issue with your theory is if you're limited to release on a single platform, why choose the platform where interested gamers may have already imported the title?
You're right, Arc System Works choose to region lock the Xbox 360 version of the game because they saw a potential market and a means of making money with licensing the game to other publishers; yet here we are with Aksys not picking up the Xbox 360 version. Again, why pick the platform that has no region locks?
At least with the Agarest fiasco both platforms had the ability to play the game, and since the PS3 is region free, importers who preferred a retail version could do so. Here, Xbox 360 owners are getting double-screwed: no local release AND no means of importing (unless Zen United steps up and their release is region free).
It's a shame that Sony and Microsoft (probably Nintendo too) won't let publishers answers the "whys?" for issues like this. Or for issues such as region protection.
@matty I beleive in the case is you can't download games like the iDOLM@STER because the game itself is region locked, not because of the IP. Though like you I have no means to confirm as I have a US console (though I do own the physical releases of iDOLM@STER). There have been a couple of demos that were acutally region locked as well I recall.

Also you can't point the finger at a companies so-called policy because there are always games that are exception to the rule. Especially with Sony. The only thing you can do is question if a game is coming and wait. If it looks like a negative then import.

Resident Evil 4 HD and Resident Evil Code Veronica HD are both getting direct Games On Demand releases later this year. Not disc, not XBLA. This opens the door for other GOD releases, like perhaps Deathsmiles 2, Arcana Heart 3, and maybe we'll even get REALLY lucky and see Ever17 and Steins;Gate.

Aksys isnt releasing the game because they don't want to bother with a disc release and they can't put it as a xbla download.
I'm not supporting the PS3 version (even though I do have a PS3) cause full games as downloads suck, also this game came out originally on disc, I have a collection of fighting games all in their boxes. if Arcana Heart 3 would have been released on disc on PS3 then I would have had no problem with it.
Im looking into getting the PAL version and screw Aksys if the game is indeed region free, if not then I guess no AC3 for Xbox fans.

I'll just be blunt. Get over yourself and get with times. Nothing is inherently wrong with digital distribution and there is no worry of a lost or damaged disc. If you have a download cap on your internet then you need to find a better provider. If you're gonna complain about size then I'm gonna have to direct you to investing in a higher capacity drive. They're cheap and run lower than a lot of games people threaten to import for. You can even back them up on an external. If you're honestly that cheap then I suggest you do something more beneficial like saving your money for something essential, like food.

Most people prefer to have a hard copy of an item instead of just the DLC, heck with a fighting games (a game you are supposed to play with friends) its easier to take the game disc to a friends house and play instead of having to carry around the console.

wow so must Butt hurt in this right here if fully downloaded games suck then agarest and mass effect woul have suck because i seem t remember that they are full games downloaded on the ps3 and same for 360 the first halo would have sucked to so that who logic there fails IMO get with the times like the griefy just said and don't be saying aksys didn't care about trying to get a 360 release even tho they just said they DID if they didn't care at all they wouldn't even be bringing it over the the US as a download in the first place
