Amazon offers $10 credit when preordered! Also on Amazon the game only is discounted to $44.99! I know Gamestop offers a demo on March 8 when preordered.

Wow, US gamers actually get something that Japan doesn't?? Wow, this is call for celebration. Usually, games like this give all the good stuff to Japan users and the US gets squat. And then they wonder why we don't buy it.

No edit button. And this is the Pro version of the Classic controller they will be packaging in with the game. This is superior to the current one and there has been question on whether it would see the light of day outside of Japan.

I have been sitting on the fence about trying this title for awhile. I may give it a try. Hopefully Capcom has done something to improve the load times a bit. It's not totally impossible since it has been a while since it released in Japan. It will give them an excuse to release Monster Hunter Tri: International version in Japan.
