Konami Style Limited Release of Castlevania Order of Ecclesia

While those USA gamers got themselves a sweet deal when they preordered Castlevania Portrain Of Ruins at Gamestop and EBGames, it looks like now it is time for Konami to give away some sweet preorder goodies for Japanese gamers who preorder the upcoming Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia at Konami Style.

For those who preorder this game at Konami Style, they will get the game itself, an original soundtrack cd and a leather jacket notebook.


This is how the notebook looks like. I bet you wont even write anything on it if you own this. I know I wont.

The only letdown of this preorder thing is it will set us back a whopping 8410 yen if you plan to get it. The preorder price of Castlevania Portrain Of Ruin was just only the normal retail price, USD29.90 and if you take this into comparison, you might find that the Castlevania Order of Ecclesia might be a little pricey.

This is what I get thanks to my friend help in USA. An original soundtrack CD, a stylus, timeline poster, deluxe art collection and a DS game case. Very nice limited release(and cheap too) and now I regret why I never get 2, one for collection sake, one for me to unwrap and go through everything inside.

But I guess for every Castlevania hardcore fan out there, they will just gobble up everything related to Castlevania, even if they have to pay premium price for it. For those who are interested, dont worry too much if you dont stay in Japan as Play Asia currently has a listing for this already here. Just prepare some dough for it as it is currently priced at usd119.90. I wont get it as it is too expensive and not to forget this is a Japan version, which is less tempting for me to get it. I guess I will just root for the USA version and keep my fingers crossed that the limited edition may head to USA.

at konamistyle, there's actually the standalone game for sale at 4000+yen and this premium package which sets u back for 8410yen...
meaning u are actually paying more for the additional premiums.

unlike the US PoR pre-order where u are paying the same price for the standalone game and getting the extra premiums for free, it's not the same thing at all.

I know there is a normal edition and also the premium edition for order of ecclesia but after obtaining the por limited edition at such a cheap price, I cant help but to think that the premium edition is just simply overpriced. Not that it matters since many are preordering it now and it could be seen in the top 100 best selling games in NDS Play Asia section.

the question is, are you getting it? haha.
