    So I just ordered what I'm going to refer to as the Limited edition version of this game. But actually it's just a copy that comes with the pre-order goodies such as the soundtrack CD and art book. I picked it up on the PS3 version because I think Catherine is the sexier gal, and honestly this game is all about the sexy. So did anyone else pick it up, if so what version, and why? Are you planning on picking it up anytime soon? Which cover is sexier? Jeff likes the 360 version: 
     
    EDIT: I got it. Here's the sexiness.

    I'll definitely consider getting it, should it be localised. PS3 version most likely, even though I prefer the look of Katherine, I still get my multi-plats on the PS3.

    To be clear I'd pick it up when localized as well, but I just had this need to pick it up. I think the craziness will be extra crazy since it's in Japanese.

    If it got released in the UK I would buy it on 360, if that version didn't come with Katherine on the cover I would consider importing the Japanese version for that cover. 
    If it only gets a US release then I'd import the PS3 version.

    I got both versions of the game, As the 360 version I received didn't come with the art book or Mini OST.

    Got the PS3 version and loving the game so far. I'm only just past where the demo left off (there's a lot more in that time-frame that they cut out of the demo) and can't wait to play more tonight!

    Out in Japan. It will most likely be released in North America eventually. No release date outside of Japan as of yet.

    Very interested to see what Westerners who speak Japanese think of this game.  Really hope it gets localized just because it looks fucking weird.

    @Eristocrat: You fight a giant ass that has eyes, a tongue and farts out pink hearts that when they hit you, your controls get reversed. While Dvorak Symphony No. 9 in E minor From the New World 1st Movement plays in the background. It's fucking great.

    Nah I don't feel like spoiling the game by going through it without understandning most of it, when it gets released I'll pick up the PS3 version, cause it's my only option. I still prefer the Katherine pic though.

    Just played about 3 hours of it.
     
    Shit's weird, yo! There's a jukebox in the bar where you can unlock Catherine and past Atlus games' songs. Crossing my fingers that Persona 4's "Signs of Love" will show up in there.
     
    Oh yeah, and spike blocks can kiss my ass (hehe).

    So, if I buy this for the PS3 on Play Asia, can I change the voice to English? Or at least the subtitles?

    I like the 360's art better but I don't have one of those anymore so I'll be stuck with slutty Catherine.  Maybe they'll change the box art for the NA release anyways.  I don't know nearly enough Japanese to play through it as is.

    I was a breath away from ordering the PS3 port and then..

    I prefer the Catherine, but maybe that's from being used to those kind of women (got plenty of stories to scare the grandchildren with). She'll have to wait. A single month :)

    Yeah, I'm going to import it. There's a certain enjoyment to be had out of simply fumbling your way through a game.

    This game really interests me but I can't understand or read Japanese so I'll have to wait for an English version to come out (fingers crossed).  I'd get it on the 360 because I don't own a PS3.

    Waiting for European release details. Hopefully I'll have a PS3 by then because blondes > every other female on the planet (no offense to brunettes or gingers). Man, between this and The Another World, I really wish I knew Japanese.

     Someone over on the atlus forums posted a valentines day message that is apparently from atlus with a pink background that is dead on the pink on the Catherine cover, it was apparently a email they sent out. Its a simple enough image that it could be easily something that someone photo shopped, but anyone else hear about this? or is someone taking people for a ride?

    @LiquidPrince: The artwork on that stuff is sexy and the soundtrack is pretty good, even if I wish they had included more non-nightmare stuff. The one thing that probably bummed me out about the package when I got it was the so-called "art book." Brief discussions on the music and a making-of essay about the very cover the art book that you would think should have other artwork in it do not an art book make. I figure they'll ultimately put out full-fledged art books and soundtracks for the game eventually anyway like they usually do, though.

    @LiquidPrince: Yeah, having bought both the official Persona 4 art book and essentially a published compilation of a bunch of fan works for that same game, Atlus tends to put out good work for their art books. Most of Catherine's art work was actually done polygonally from what I hear, so I'm not sure how that would affect any potential art books, but it certainly has me curious. I'll probably preorder that and the soundtrack as soon as they're up for grabs. As you've probably noticed, it's a pretty game both visually and aurally.

    I'm still debating if I should pick up the PS3 version soon. When it gets localized I'll pick up the 360 version.

    I'll admit, I wouldn't mind seeing sexy polygonal meshes. First things first though, translate the game.
