If you live in Japan, I would imagine that you will be picking up Tales of Vesperia this week. And just so you know, I am extremely jealous of you. =(
For those of us in the west, we've got another week of, well, nothing. Unless you're really anticipating a virtual console release of Ys, there's really not much for you. I guess I'll go back to playing Soul Calibur IV and Spectral Force 3, and try not to think about all of the happy Japanese gamers who have ToV to keep them company.

Almost bought a 360 again for Vesperia. Just can't bring myself to spend all that dough though. I've given up on wishing for MS to allow third party 360s (like Toshiba or Samsung) but I'm still scared of the dreaded rrod @_@
You getting the Canadian version? I doubt it'll be any different after Soul Calibur iv launching in USA with same crappy bilingual packaging. Scamco has gone the route of NISA it seems. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing?
I got an all english copy of FFIVDS from Best buy though, so I didn't have to buy it over the internet. Good game, but would have been way better on PS2 ala the RS remake. I'm sure they're going to remake it again though since they claimed 1/3rd of the story was cut originally and would be brought back, but is wasn't according to reviews...can't wait to eventually own 15 copies of this bloody game.
Yeah, Namdai has gone to bilingual packaging it seems. It sucks to have French on my games, but its nice that I don't have to wait to import them (plus pay shipping and duty, etc.)
...And RRoD is a lame reason to not buy a 360. I know you got one and that sucked, but you DID have a 2006 Core. My Elite has never hiccupped, and Mike's Pro is still humming along just fine. The price looks like its gonna drop again in September, plus the better chipset and the extended warranty...
My PS2 crapped out and Sony certainly didn't fix it for me. I think the RRoD is blown way out of proportion, and I don't see why it prevents people from playing games they want?
