Yes, especially considering this is probably going to be a visual novel (the otaku format of choice) and I can't imagine North American gamers shelling out 60 dollars for something like that. |

Costs I can think of: Licensing: the game itself, music tracks, and voice actors, Translation, English voice acting costs (no you can't just keep the Japanese Sony won't let you unless it has English voice as well), Recoding the game engine to insert the translation (depends how it was made to start with), QA testing it all again, ratings board fees, The other stopping point is getting it licensed/ approved by the console manufacturer. SoA (Sony of America) or SoE (Europe) have different rules to Sony (Japan). The problematic ones are bigger minimum print runs, the restriction on keeping original voice (see above) and no visual novels. |

I take it if one wants to play the game on the PS3 and PSP with the same save data, one will still need to buy the same game twice?

I'm with most people here in saying that I'm eagerly optimistic for it to reach the U.S but, I doubt it will

Just like the other 6 games I'll ether download it or find let's plays on youtube.
I really want to buy the PS3 copy but I don't know enough spoken Japanese to get me anywhere. Plus with a $100+ import price most likely I rather spend my money on something I know has a translation. Like the Umineko PS3 port. |

I would so shell out money for this, and actually if it was on PSN they could leave it all Japanese only.
sadly it will as always never reach US shores |

Well, long haul, but as a Visual Novel fan, I feel I should post this. Someone made a Visual Novel thing on Sony's Share blog. Sony apparently does monitor these ideas, so perhaps with enough support, and hopefully reasoning comments, one or two could atleast try out overseas? Hey, if you have a PSN account, it can't hurt to just sign in, and green arrow it up. =/ |

And, uh, I'd kinda need the English VAs to really consider something worth my money. That's my audio preference. What I'd really like to know is the actual numbers though. I mean, what does it REALLY cost to license a game and then go through all of that? |

Another Haruhi game to add to my wish list.
It'd be a dream come true if any of the Haruhi games were released in English. |
