I've been waiting a long time for the PS3 version to come to America and to find out that the reason behind the delay was so America can get the 360 version(which I did not expect because of that use of the underwear). I'm still getting the PS3 and I read on a different website that the PS3 version is supposed to have like all of the dlc from the 360 version like the extra dungeons, and extra cutscenes. Plus guaranteed to have trophies. I feel like America is actually getting the best version of a Japanese game that usually wouldn't be in America in the 1st place even if the only downside is it's a downloadable title for America. But of course Spring when i'll be playing Star Ocean, White Knight, Ar Tonelico 3, Final Fantasy XIII(maybe if I am in the mood for it), Resonance of Fate, and so on.

Even if it is true it wouldn't make any sense unless it's like them saying oh well the PS3 version has been in the works for the Playstation Network for all of this time but now that we got our hands on the 360 version we can actually make a retail version. Then there will be fans who will be like well why not make the PS3 version retail too because it's unfair to wait all of this time? I smell another delay if Aksys really does plan to make the Xbox 360 version a retail copy and the PS3 not.

I haven't seen the Japanese trailer in a long time but I do know that the Xbox 360 version shows like actual underwear because when they made the PS3 version they didn't really even think about it on that particular scene but then when they made the 360 version they were like oh yeah this scene would look so much better if we revealed her underwear. But to be honest though i'm not sounding like a PS3 fanboy but I will say that JRPGs sell better on PS3 then 360. Like for instance if you are in a store like say Gamestop I would see more people buying the PS3 version of Record of Agarest War then the 360 version. It's great though to give fans the option of 360 or PS3 to help more Americans to play Record of Agarest War but I think it's either both available in stores or both download only not 1 version be downloadable and the other will be in stores. But honestly though I've only seen 1 source say that about the 360 version being a retail copy out of every source i've read so it's hard to say if it's true and Spring is still a little ways off so anything can change from now till then.
