| This game is on my radar. Sort of. I'd be more excited about it if the Wizards Edition was freely available, but I've missed the boat and am less excited about the game without that fabulous book. I do have the DS version, but somehow playing an RPG in Japanese (that isn't Pokémon) would defeat the object somewhat.
Has anyone cast +10 Peepers on this? |

| Yeah, I started watching a Let's Play of the game last week, here actually, and it looks really impressive. I'm a sucker for Studio Ghibli so this was on my radar anyway.
What differs between the standard game and the edition with the book? |

| I'm guessing the game comes with a digital form of the book, though as far as I understand it, some of the puzzles involve deciphering runes and things. I could be really wrong, though. The only drawback is the price difference between versions. The standalone game is regular PS3 price, whereas the LE is anywhere between £54.99 (Amazon, sold out) and £69.99 (sold out everywhere). |

| From what i hear, Amazon is due some last minute stock of the LE pretty much any time now. So, still a chance if you want it. There's also Zavvi still, i think, but...lol, Zavvi.
For the game, i'm actually really not fussed about it. It isn't appealing to me at all, not seeing all the hype. Might still get it as an impulse purchase though...hmm... |

| I signed up to their update manager yesterday, so if it's the case I'll hopefully get an email. Apparently the had a last minute restock in America last week, so you never know.
From Dusty's experience with Zavvi, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. |

From Dusty's experience with Zavvi, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. It did, and they also added more stuff to the LE over here. Confirmed that won't be happening to the LE's here, though.
And yes, Zavvi are absolutely dreadful. Cheap often, but that seems to be because they're cheap with their customer service and shipping and shiz, too. |

| What's that, a confirmation of no LE restock here? Sorry, I got a bit muddled when I read your post. |

That the bonus stuff which was added to the LE last minute in NA won't be added here. |

| Oh right, thanks. So we're still soundtrack-less here.
Ehh. I'd probably never listen to it anyway. |

| You'll have to tell me how much the tome enhances the game, assuming I haven't caved in and bought the basic game before then, of course. |

| I've had the Wizards edition pre-ordered for months now (one reason why I bought a PS3 in the first place) seeing that I'm not too big a fan of RPGs I had any fears settled with the recent demo. |

| I'm getting pretty excited about this, now. It'll be nice for me to actually have a reason to remember that my PS3 exists. |

| It's impossible to find it in the UK. Sold out everywhere. Unless you want to pay £150+ on eBay... |

Last i checked, German Amazon were apprantly still taking orders, although i'm not sure they even ship to the UK personally. Worth a shout if you're after it anyway though, seems to be kinda overlooked a place for stuff like this. |

| I played the demo through twice for this yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't really see how there'll be any real strategy to the battles, but they do at least keep you on your toes at all times.
Also: I know Drippy was the same in the Japanese dub of both games, but the Scottish accent suits his character perfectly. It's great to see LEVEL-5 giving us another top-notch translation. |
