The American Xbox 360 release of Record of Agarest War (or Agarest Senki) has attracted note for its canny and distinctly Japanese marketing: the limited edition comes with an oppai mousepad, sexy “dakimakura” cover (actually the dimensions are those of a standard pillow), and the OST.
Certainly a vastly more insightful marketing strategy than the usual “rip out the Chinese cartoons and replace them with Final Fantasy knock-off CG” strategy fans have come to know and unlove.
We can also go into classics like "Resident evil: Really Naughty Zombies Limited Edition" or, to stay with this necrophilia vein but for those prehistoric souls like myself, what about "Pacman: Really Naughty Ghosts Limited Edition..."
Because people own Xbox 360s and it is a good system. People that swear one system is better than the other typically are the ones to who don't own either. (PS3=360)>Wii
I'll be pre-ordering this, and I don't even have an X360. If they keep the game sealed separately from the extras, I'll just return the game to Wal-Mart and keep all the extras.
It's clear he just wants the daki and mousepad, both of which are not available for the PS3 version. In fact, the PS3 non-Japanese version doesn't even have a box.
True that, if it wasn't for the RROD issue I'd actually own a 360. I do have an original Xbox after-all, so it's certainly not a bias issue on my part. I just see it as being really pathetic to screw up so badly with the GPU heatsink like they did. People in the PC industry have known about the importance of good heatsinks and good airflow since forever. I don't think a massive failure rate is an acceptable compromise just to put the thing in a smaller case. I know some people have been lucky enough to avoid the issue, but in my case all 4 of my friends who have owned the system have gone through 2 360s each, and even had the later "fixed" elite model break...
Shame they can't just release this for the PS3, with a downlaod code instead of the disk.
Sucks that I need to buy two versions to play on my PS3 and enjoy these lovely items.
wtb Really Naughty Limited Editions of all my games
If you take a minute or two to think through what you just said... You'll notice that might not be one of your best ideas.
oh God... I just bought "Mass Effect 2: Really Naughty Limited Edition..."
oh God... I just bought "Gears of War: Really Naughty Limited Edition..."
Mass Effect 2 could work ( plenty of womenz), GoW...obviously could not.
Surely they could just call the "really naughty limited edition" "Mass Erect" and be done with it.
Really naughty version of Modern Warfare 2!
Really Naughty Limited Edition Dead Rising will get a rise out of you all right...

I don't even have a 360 and am more on the Sony side of the fence but I'm honestly considering getting this anyway...
It's only $60 (same as most games), so buy it anyway (I'll do it, and I have a PS3 -and the PS3 version it's a download-only game-).
You can always play it in a friend's 360
USD$ 59.99...
Oi, this comes with mousepad AND dakimakura??
What a deal!
People have already bled so much buying bishoujo dakimakura, and we're not talking about nosebleeds...
This is a steal ppl!
Same method applied to Solid Snake would turn rather... odd... a mousepad would be fun but weird, as for the dakimakura... well, I rather shut up now.
looks like you were thinking the same thing i was. but i was a little late in my post.
According to the system, one minute late, actually less... now picture a Dead Space mousepad... and the daikamura :/ for hell I would be sleepless.
I would probably sneak it into a little kid's room to scare the shit out of him/her.
That monkey avatar scares the hell out of me.
all i can think of is that part when you put on the geisha make-up in mgs3
I dunno, if you use the 4 supermodel bosses of MGS4, I'm sure you'd like both the mousepad AND the dakimura. Gotta think people!
Maybe they'll decide to realease a super sexy version of the new halo game with similiar extras. Imagine the master chief mouse pad they'd include.
The wrist-rest will be made of stainless steel painted in neutral camo green.
I rather have a glittery oppai or butt pad of Cortana
sexiest computer program ever
no, thats miku
They know their market.
indeed....I'll take 10
WAAA i want pc version T.T
it sucks that its not comming out for pc this game is really epic
No PC version, so that you can't pirate it.
It is more like no PC version because they don't want it on a decent system.
Why release it for Xbox then? -_-
Because people own Xbox 360s and it is a good system. People that swear one system is better than the other typically are the ones to who don't own either. (PS3=360)>Wii
Thats how it is and always will be.
That's why they are using those extras as incentive.
This game is gonna sell more than FFXIII.
I agree
I'll be pre-ordering this, and I don't even have an X360. If they keep the game sealed separately from the extras, I'll just return the game to Wal-Mart and keep all the extras.
don't they have a PS3 release?
I thought he first trailer I saw was from a PS3 one. . .
It's clear he just wants the daki and mousepad, both of which are not available for the PS3 version. In fact, the PS3 non-Japanese version doesn't even have a box.
Enjoy your PSN download.
FUCK~~~~~~~~~~`
I'm totally buying this. Online, so I don't have to look anyone in the eye or be seen purchasing it.
You fail as an otaku.
Everyone is hoping that it'll have better translation and proofreading than the European version has.
Oh wow Past the RROD problem, XBOX Is really getting nice games...
It's multi-platform, but this time the Xbox edition comes with a boob pad and pillow case (whereas Sony has a PSN download). Sexbox indeed.
True that, if it wasn't for the RROD issue I'd actually own a 360. I do have an original Xbox after-all, so it's certainly not a bias issue on my part. I just see it as being really pathetic to screw up so badly with the GPU heatsink like they did.

Definitely the naughty limited edition for me.
If only Square-Enix includes Lightning booby mousepad, I'm sure it'll sell alot better.
Lighting is too "cool" and uptight to be defiled with a boob-pad. Also, her boobs are too small to provide adequate comfort.
Answer: Vanille boob-pad.
Vanille is small as well...

They are actually thinking about releasing the extras in a package on the Aksys store for PS3 owners.
Uh, no they're not.
