So October 24th is upon us, and with that the Japanese release of the latest BlazBlue is literally less than a day away. It's unknown how long it will take for it to be localized, so if you aren't too keen on waiting and are willing to spend a few extra dollars to get it early here's some info to help you out.

First off the game is coming out as a disc based release as is standard for the series, however it will also be seeing a digital release the same day on the japanese playstatoin store. If you want to order a physical copy I suggest trying www.play-asia.com or www.amiami.com for physical imports. If you are however interested in downloading it you can find quite a bit of information on this thread on dustloop titled importing 101 http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?16987-Importing-101
It was initially written for importing the latest guilty gear but the same steps can be applied to purchase BlazBlue instead. The thread details how to make a Japanese playstation network ID, as well as how to purchase and add points to your account to buy games from the Japanese playstation store.

Hopefully some of you still play this game, and if you still have an interest and are willing to spend some money on the latest version I hope this can help you acquire a copy early and enjoy the game as soon as possible. I know this group is kinda dead but maybe with the release of this new game we can all get back together and make this group a place for people to chat about the game and find people to play with! Hope this helps you guys and hope you enjoy the new installment!
