Devil Beside You



As you can see, my Devil May Cry 4 has arrived, woohoo! Too bad i won't be able to play it till i get my Playstation3 though there is always the option of playing the soon-to-be released PC version but i already gave up on pc gaming a long time ago. Since i am unable to comment on how the game plays i thought i give my thoughts on the blu-ray packaging since this is my first blu-ray disc and there have been mixed opinions about the packaging ever since they unveiled it. The slighty shorter cases compared with DVD certainly looks sleek but they are no way as sexy as Sony's UMD for PSP which i admit i collect to a certain extent because of how sexy the UMD cases and disc looked, even with the rampant piracy issue circulating over the internet.
I am a little disappointed that Devil May Cry 4 japanese version has the exact same cover as the other versions but it's been that way for the series since the first installment so i guess i shouldn't complain. I wrestled over the issue of whether to order the US version or the Japan version but ultimately i settled on the Japan version because there was a limited edition tin case for the American release so buying the standard version seems like a poor resort. Also over in Japan, a budget label has already been introduced for Playstation3 so i reckon Devil May Cry 4 will very soon be re-released on budget label given it's brisk early sales. All you collectors of first edition games should take note, as Ninja Gaiden Sigma has already been reissued on Best Buy label.
