Well, other than being as a DLC card/token/key/etc. in the physical release, that's pretty much it though. Dunno if they'll include him in the digital relase, or just seperate. We'll know soon enough.

Dunno about that yet, but I expect to see Day 1 DLC with the Digital Pre-Order up once the PS store updates, how many of it though, will be unknown, expecting the Kagura one is a given (and some others), since he's just unlockable in-game after story mode anyways.

Not only that, but they also include Kokonoe as part of the digital download and its discount. But at the same time, she will be out 4/1 for disc buyers too, which I find silly. >_> Even though its a week apart, she's already in the game, but yeah, I dunno about this. >_>

Both, an Aksys employee that commented on the PS blog in one of the BB:CP articles did mention it'll be both Retail/Digital day 1. Edit: Speaking of, this weeks PS+ article shows a mention for the BB:CP Digital version price sale for this, showing that it'll cost $45 without plus and $40.49 with plus. Which, would possibly be up by 2-morrows PSN update.

Yeah, lets just hope for the best, if and when the time comes.

Ugh...well, thems the breaks, so the stages/themes are already on there, doi, I just hope the English release gets them somehow (like in the PSN store) without resorting to buy a product that includes the DLC key, but we know that it may or may not happen. Other than that, for those that already noticed, Vol. 4 for LE, Stages/Themes are now added.

Yeah, same here, coudn't watch the finals cause I had to snooze, but hey, at least it was good anyways! :3

I'm hype, I hope I can make the stream and check it out. (If I'm not busy with stuff, of course.)

I woudn't be joking to think the name changes would already be inserted in the overseas release. G-F and Gaf already has their own topics that even mention what character/stand/etc. got hit by a name change (that, or similar sounding name worded differently). Oh, and the kicker was on a tweet concerning the name changes. http://bit.ly/1g3wvqi Simply, they won't answer. Because Localization team and Araki himself.

I'm not laughing, and no I won't, and <-?, seriously, no, I'm not. Well, that's risks that some publishers would have to take anyways. But oh well, hopefully a chance one day to play L.M. sometime, guess its still back to vanilla AH3 for now.

Funny you should say that, I'd be surprised why there's even a game page for AH3 on the XBLM. (Even though it never released 360 ver. in the US anyways in either retail/digital format. >_>) http://bit.ly/1kUr9kf Oh, and A.P. isn't shit, to you that is maybe, but I find it good right in between A.H. the same way too. But that's discussion totally different for the appropriate topics. Well, other than that, the wait for "Love Max" will still be long ahead. >_>

Yeah, Just a thought, we know that's not gonna happen, but still looking forward to it anyways if and whenever it comes by overseas.

Yeah, well, I'd would like to see how different both versions will go, and yeah, a localization wouldn't be too far off, considering what nadakaineko said, if and when they do it (if possible) I just hope they bargain price it around the same price ($30) or lower (Or probably SG:Encore style for those that already have the US Digital version of AH3, get a product key for Love Max, but I know that's probably not gonna happen. >_>) But who knows, all we can do is wait...

Don't worry about it, I would think that Ara vs. Stairs would probably be left untouched, but probably give it a slight graphical update to its home video release, but who knows. >_>

Yeah, would have been nice if both retailers just give you both DLC's, but nope, oh well, still (probably) getting it though, dunno by which retailer before then (or just on PSN if I feel like it).

JoJo ASB gets US release date on the 29th April (4/29/14), both online retailers will have their own Pre-order DLC, Shigekiyo Yangu at Amazon, and Yoshikage Kira at Club Namco. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/03/06/jojos-bizarre-adventure-star-battle-hits-north-america-april-29th/

But I find some ironic's that both names (especially their firsts), are close to though, but the "Marie" in the middle, that's gotta be intentional, lol. :3

Well, I guess this solves one part of the problem now, at least not needed to worry, but yeah, would be nice if the US (and if possible, EU/PAL) would also get the old stages and music in some form though. In the meantime, look over to post #2 once in a while to see what will be added in the rest of the BB:AM LE's.

Yeah, same here, lol. Anyways, since no one mentioned yet, Marie will be out 3/25 and 3/26 (spaced between PS3/360 versions.), for $6, so yeah, not free...>_> http://www.siliconera.com/2014/03/04/marie-rose-coming-dead-alive-5-ultimate-march-25th-west/ Speaking of, its either this or CP, eh, I can multitask with both, I guess...>_>

Would be nice if the topic title is/was gonna be hypothetically...Hyper Street Fighter 4 (Form. known as Ultra SF4), but that's something else different. >_>

Yeah, something like how "Compatibility/Catalog Packs" are in certain games lately (though I dunno how this would work with someone that has it and someone that doesn't have it), but since I don't actually have BB:CP yet (waiting on US release though), I think you should ask Kurushii (or anyone that has the old themes/stages), to see what does work, and what doesn't. That, or wait for a reply here from someone that got the DL codes from the BB:AM LE's (stages/themes). And they'll answer for you.

Maybe not, but hey, come next volume (vol.4) in a couple of weeks, you'll probably be happy with possible changes to Episode 8 (AKA + Episode)

I can't see how this is offline only, when you still have to go to your PSN account (either/any region one) online to enter the product key to download them (and then, you would be still able to play the old stages/themes both off/online anyways). And if they were on the disks anyways, it would have been an unlock key for just a few KB's, I think these are just a few MB's or more (I'm guessing) just to get the old themes/stages. And yeah, it would be nice if they were available to purchase normally, but sometimes, them's the breaks. Unless they come out one way, or another.

Not that I know of, besides, the US didn't even get the magazine colors from P4A. So yeah, exclusive DLC (that's not on the PSN store to purchase normally), kinda bites, unless the US side does something different to bring it over. (Which chances from it to bring the old themes/stages overseas to CP are kinda slim.)

The BB-AM site should have listings for stages/theme's included (or go here...http://blazblue-am.jp/dvd/index.html) , but I'll list it here for future reference.
