Wireless USB keyboards are so darn expensive. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Ikubi]

Wait a minnit, the game guide....as in the strategy guide...will cost almost $75? >_> wth...not that i would buy one anyway, but still. Thats quite expensive.

[Saner]

lol the game guide's price, you can buy another copy of PSU for that amount. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

wireless keyboards sound interesting but I trust cables *hugs Powerboard* http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[VioletSkye]

I think it is saying that the wireless keyboard and the Game Guide are a bundle and that together they cost $72.

[Inazuma]

id love to buy a game guide but not for $72 ><
maybe $20 at the most

[Saner]

it isnt like the guide is needed anyway. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif


the soundtracks, does that include all the music from the game?

[Nisshoku]

Have these new items been put up to attain on SegaDirect, or anything?

[EspioKaos]

News of these soundtracks has made me giddy like a school girl. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

The sound tracks sound cool to me aswell though im curious wether these items will be available to people outside Japan. (without the use of E-bay etc)

I'm betting they won't. Of course, that's why I'm constantly scouring for sites to import these from. It looks like CDJapan (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/(mint,with_comments)/detailview.html?KEY=WWCE-31125) have reactived the SKU for SAVE THIS WORLD, so you can now pre-order it, or as in my case, pre-order it again. Since FOR BRIGHTER DAY won't be released until October, they don't have a listing for it just yet.

FOR BRIGHTER DAY, incidentally, will be a two-disc set, so the 14 tracks on SAVE THIS WORLD may only be half or a third of the game's OST. Yay! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Inazuma]

dont forget, the game itself includes the soundtrack ^ ^. just take those audio files and put em on your ipod or whatever and your set.

[Inazuma]

the famitsu link doesnt work ><
does anyone know when the game guide will be available?

*edit* nm, got the link to work

I have to concur. I'm such a game music geek.

The keyboard and strategy guide will be released 08.31, the same day as PSU in Japan. SAVE THIS WORLD will be out a few weeks later on 09.13, followed up by FOR BRIGHTER DAY sometime in October. Check different import sites like Lik-Sang and CDJapan. They're taking pre-orders on some of these items.
