I realize there are one or two posts regarding this topic, but none of them seem to have the information I'm looking for so I apologize if this is redundant in any way.
As far as I can tell there is no current announcement from Ark System Works regarding a Xbox360 Limited Edition for the US, and it has me discouraged. Seemingly the best I can do is order a NTSC-J Limited Edition from Japan online for the extras, and buy a NTSC compatible game disk from my local store to actually play it. So my question is threefold and I hope someone with official information/contact with Ark System Works can get back to me.
First, I assume if I were to purchase a NTSC-J Limited Edition I would be unable to play the game disk in my system, but does that also apply to any DVD extras etc?
Second, are there any known plans to release a Limited Edition to the US at a future date, such as after the initial release, and will pre-ordering be a factor in this?
And Third, if I understand right Arksys is in charge of the American regional ports for Ark System Works in Japan correct? If it's possible could someone contact Ark System Works directly about this? I attempted to access their site at first for information however I lack any understanding of Japanese and could not properly navigate the site.
You can understand my dilemma, If I order the Limited Edition from Japan and have to buy the game again locally in order to play it thats a hassle. But it's even worse if I find out later that the Limited Edition was in fact coming to the US and was simply delayed. And of course if I can't access any of the bonus content either then that puts another damper on the whole matter. But if I wait too long to decide they may become scarce and more expensive. I'm a little frustrated the PS3 owners don't have to deal with this region protection nightmare. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
