So one of the editions of Retour costs 30,000 yen. (Also: Retour scheduled for October release.)

Forgive me for the near-double post here, but the prices for the various editions of Retour have been released, and I thought it was noteworthy that the largest edition costs (without the discounts applied via the Gamecity website, which I do not believe accepts overseas orders) 30,000 yen. That amount converts, as of this writing, to almost $250 US. Or $315 Australian. Or 225 Euros. Or...well you'll have to do your own conversions from there. (Please also note that the yen has been unusually weak lately against the USD & many other currencies; usually, this price would convert to higher amounts.)

The Treasure Box (the lower-tier special edition) is 12,800 yen, which converts to ~$105 US. The regular edition is 6,800 yen, or ~$55 US. All editions are available for both the Vita and PSP versions, with no difference in cost systemwise. There's also going to release a super-special ultra-deluxe edition available only through GameCity with "special perks," though they haven't decided exactly what those perks will be yet.

Oh, and the game is scheduled for October now. We'll see.

Anyhow: Any reactions to the 20th Anniversary Edition price? It's a bit prohibitive. I could have had a photo of myself featured in a text message in NightCry for that!
