| read up on the Sega's PSP titles being shown at TGS this year and I dont see anything on Initial D according to pspupdates.com the following titles will be on display by Sega: – Sega Puyo Puyo Fever 2 [Chyuu-!] Guilty Gear XX #RELOAD SO for now I will raise the BS flag but who knows it might become reality |

I was just looking on PSPUpdates for any news on it. Still no news from Wab or PSP-Dev either  . I've got a UK 1.52. |
| Posted by: Jezza_HR Sep 7 2005, 06:22 AM |
| I'm waiting for my source to come back with some proof. Please wait..... Ok it would appear it was announced in todays issue of Famitsu I can only assume people are waiting for solid proof or just dont care  *Edited by Takumi Trueno* |

OH MAN! I cant wait!  |
| Posted by: Tomo Sep 7 2005, 06:38 PM |
| me either. Quick question, does the PSP have a USB port so I could hook up my Driving force pro steering wheel to it, then use the A/V out to put it on my TV. It'd be like having V.3 at home. ahhhhhhhhhhh i need it now |

| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 7 2005, 07:06 PM |

| Posted by: Kerxn Sep 7 2005, 07:06 PM |
| I dunno, those Tokyopop pricks better not touch it, tho. Freaking sweet. I can't wait! |
| Posted by: Woffle Sep 7 2005, 07:24 PM |
| err, if it just releases for japanese, where can i buy it?online? and they mean this christmas right? |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 7 2005, 07:28 PM |
| http://www.japanvideogames.com http://www.ncsx.com http://www.yesasia.com i personally use jvg, because their warehouse is like 2 hours north of me, so i pay for the cheap standard UPS ground, and get it the next day anyway ;P |
| Posted by: ams14 Sep 7 2005, 07:43 PM |
| Looks like there is another reason for me to get a PSP, |
| Posted by: ffxi11 Sep 7 2005, 08:05 PM |
| hehe, im gonna goto an arcade and sit in the machine, but play the psp game then ill pay the $3 to get in at the only freaking place around here that has v3 |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Sep 7 2005, 08:30 PM |
| I wave the BS flag no more...you have proven me wrong.....now I want some screenies |
| Posted by: viet_tak Sep 7 2005, 09:02 PM |

| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 7 2005, 09:08 PM |

| Posted by: Takumi_Drift Sep 8 2005, 03:42 AM |
| Yay i knew it would come out on the psp some |
| Posted by: tinlunlau Sep 8 2005, 05:34 AM |
| too bad there's no steering to play this around with. i'd play the PSP version practice and then, still hit the arcades for the real thing. that's it...forget the new cell phone. i'm selling all my christmas presents to buy a used PSP and a copy of this. |
| Posted by: SeaDevil Sep 8 2005, 05:48 AM |
| Whoa, this game is definitely at the top of my list |
| Posted by: lance Sep 8 2005, 06:11 AM |

| Posted by: darthchilli Sep 8 2005, 07:59 AM |
| ehh fortunatly im somewhat not as excited as most of you theres much better games n such coming out in the long run for this machine im more excited for advent children |
| Posted by: eric_89 Sep 8 2005, 08:00 AM |
| Why? why is it on the psp? How about the PS3? No doubt it's good news but i too bad i don't have the money to buy this and the PSP.. |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Sep 8 2005, 09:34 AM |
| Niceeeee, this definately gives me a reason to buy a psp! could we possibly see a combination of both soundtracks of ver.3 and IDSS? |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 8 2005, 10:01 AM |
i've had a psp since launch day back in march, so no need for further investment other than games for me  among other things, i'll be sure to pick this game up this winter. |
| Posted by: Takeshi Nakazato Sep 8 2005, 10:18 AM |
| CANT WAIT!!! |
| Posted by: ffxi11 Sep 8 2005, 11:18 AM |
| its much better for the psp than other systems, i think hopefully the PS3 will get version 4 or maybe a whole new next gen ID game |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Sep 8 2005, 11:39 AM |
| and have you guys noticed... ...all you arcade fans this has been bugging me all day.... They made another Initial D game, so dont you think they will make a version 4? |
| Posted by: Apex Sep 8 2005, 11:44 AM |
| TXR and this are the reasons I bought one of these. |
| Posted by: viet_tak Sep 8 2005, 11:45 AM | ||
ps3 might have a better one maybe  |
| Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 8 2005, 01:51 PM |
  Thanks to PSP Updates. |
| Posted by: viet_tak Sep 8 2005, 02:07 PM |
| yes and can u trans that for me lol |
| Posted by: Metamorphic Sep 8 2005, 05:27 PM |
| I was on the PSP site and they said that this game lets you do whatever u can in IDAS3 but more courses and cars |
| Posted by: eric_89 Sep 8 2005, 05:30 PM |
What's with the ranks?  And wonder how the control will be when we play the akina snow... |
| Posted by: lotteman Sep 9 2005, 04:48 PM |
OMG! *TEAR!  now i have something to do while waiting in line for initial d! lol |
| Posted by: haspieuw Sep 9 2005, 05:17 PM |
| awesome .... cant wait for it i hope I can inport this game somehow |
| Posted by: Kerxn Sep 9 2005, 08:31 PM | ||
like gran turismo mobile |
| Posted by: ams14 Sep 9 2005, 08:37 PM |
| If this comes b4(LOL I use the l33t ver.) GT mobile and I have a psp. I play ID.ID,SFA3,GT mobile are the games I'm looking forward to. |

| WIll it come out for the american PSP? O.o |
| Posted by: Tarento Sep 9 2005, 10:01 PM |
| It's probably not gonna come out as the English version. Doesn't the japanese version work for both PSPs? |
| Posted by: Kerxn Sep 9 2005, 10:34 PM |
| works for the 4 of em... music and movies dont... 4 cuz... Korean European North American Japanese |
| Posted by: bROCKoLEE Sep 9 2005, 11:31 PM |
| Anyone know if the PSP can translate between languages like form Japanese to English? Cause if it couldn't then that would such a shame if the game only came out in a Japanese only version. |
| Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Sep 10 2005, 03:27 AM |
| it'll mostly likely be in jap but i have my hopes up |
| Posted by: haspieuw Sep 10 2005, 05:35 AM | ||
i dont think it would translate .. but you can still go for trial-error through the game |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Sep 10 2005, 09:03 AM |
| Indeed....by the time this is released there should be a few translation faqs up so dont sweat it |
| Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Sep 10 2005, 12:17 PM | ||
yeap, just like good ol special stage |
| Posted by: [Project.D]-Demon Sep 10 2005, 01:45 PM |
| so let me guess the only way that we are able to get it is thru ebay then huh??? and when is it expected to come out?? |
| Posted by: Jezza_HR Sep 10 2005, 01:54 PM |
| As always keep an eye on www.Yesasia.com to avoid risky E-bay business and pick up possible Ltd Edition goodies. As for a release date, it's expected for a 'Winter 2005' release. So I'm guessing late October or early November myself |
| Posted by: viet_tak Sep 10 2005, 02:08 PM |
| the way i see it they might release one in america because they brought the v3 over and trans it so y not do it now??? |
| Posted by: Jezza_HR Sep 10 2005, 02:33 PM |
| Actually, since drifting is becoming more popular over the world I think Special Stage and Street Stage have high possibilities of reaching the western market. Kaido Battle is getting a release in the UK this winter in light of drifting reaching new highs. |
| Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Sep 10 2005, 04:08 PM |
| IGN.com says Japan release date is March 30, 2006 it also says Japan only besides the US release details http://psp.ign.com/objects/770/770341.html new screenshots are also posted there |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 10 2005, 05:27 PM | ||
LAME. and its pretty obvious its only for japan. just like special stage. at least psp's dont need modchips or trickery to play it. |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Sep 10 2005, 05:32 PM |
| I try not to believe IGN's release date till we get an actual official announcement |
| Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Sep 10 2005, 05:45 PM |
| well even if it does come out on March, that's still pretty early considering the announcement being made not so long ago |
| Posted by: Takeshi Nakazato Sep 10 2005, 11:13 PM |
| i figured they would add extras from version three. just think about it, Special Stage was like Version 2.5 and now this? I mean who didnt see this as a Version 3.5? YAY! A GAME I GET TO ACTUALLY BUY AND KEEP FOR MY PSP! |
| Posted by: Jezza_HR Sep 11 2005, 02:21 AM |
| From what I understand, Famitsu has slated a Winter 2005 release. We will find out come 15th September what the date is |
| Posted by: Tarento Sep 13 2005, 10:36 AM |
| Hmm...anyone got a good idea how much this game might be with shipping? I hope it isn't over $60. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 14 2005, 07:30 AM | ||
I wonder if that means that Purple Shadow course is in this game... >< |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Sep 14 2005, 08:01 AM | ||
It might have the course...But it probably will have the Hand of God & Foot of God... But im just going to guess that they're going to have Shin-Myogi, Shin-Usui, Momiji Line and Enna, and those will be the only new courses. |
| Posted by: Kerxn Sep 14 2005, 01:14 PM | ||
God foot and God hand = Purple Shadow... |
| Posted by: ams14 Sep 14 2005, 01:20 PM |
| If they go all the way up to Purple Shadow,that would be cool. |
| Posted by: Rose Gold Sep 14 2005, 02:54 PM | ||
yup yup |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 14 2005, 04:54 PM |
| Besides GTA:LCS, this is the only title that could persuade me to buy a PSP. Too bad they're so damn expensive... I could just get a PS2 and Special Stage for half the cost of the PSP itself. |
| Posted by: AE86 Levin Sep 14 2005, 07:31 PM |
| This is the only reason i am buying a PSP. |
| Posted by: Haku Sep 15 2005, 08:20 PM | ||
Agreed! Now I'm definently gonna sink my teeth into a PSP just for this game, as well as other games that I always wanted to play. But seriously though, it would've been cool if they made Street Stage for the PS2 as well. Oh well, I ain't complaining! It's Initial D on the go, after all! I can't wait for the game to come out! |
| Posted by: Type R Sep 15 2005, 09:52 PM |
Thats so sweet! And the graphics look so sweet for a handheld...now just gotta buy the PSP  |
| Posted by: solarxclipse Sep 15 2005, 09:56 PM | ||
if they make all the words in english. |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 15 2005, 10:07 PM |
| You speak as if there's a lot of reading involved in Arcade/Street stage. Seriously, it's 5 seconds of generic "I'm gonna beat you", followed by a race, followed by "How the hell?!" The hardest thing possible in this game would be learning what the hell each of the tuner cards does to your car. If all else fails: trial and error. |
| Posted by: Takeshi Nakazato Sep 16 2005, 06:24 PM |
| thats what i did on SS, lol |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 16 2005, 07:39 PM |
| Tons of reading involved or not, I'm still gonna import this sucker once it's available. If I could make it through Another Stage, I can definitely tackle this one. |
| Posted by: xdriftx Sep 16 2005, 07:40 PM |
| pffft...someone on gamefaqs would always translate the game menus and stuff for us. anyway, if there's a Story mode like SS, then there should definitely be an english version...only sub the japanese vocals though |
| Posted by: L-plate-drift Sep 16 2005, 07:51 PM |
| Looks great, but it's still essentially a dumbed down port of Special Stage + card features. I'll wait for the PS3 follow up to the Special Stage. |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 16 2005, 08:25 PM |
| It's an expanded version of Arcade Stage v3. The only things that'll be dumbed down are the car models and the sound. |
| Posted by: DCEVO3 Sep 16 2005, 09:24 PM |
| SS for PSP looks good i already own a PSP so i cant wait to get it need something for when im not at the arcade |
| Posted by: ffxi11 Sep 18 2005, 05:48 PM |
| ruliweb has a video |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Sep 18 2005, 06:09 PM |
| link? |
| Posted by: Tessou Sep 18 2005, 07:35 PM |
| The videos are on http://ruliweb.dreamwiz.com/data/rulinews/read.htm?num=13925&main=psp. Looking pretty good. I'm gonna buy this with a new PSP if my budget allows it come Christmastime. EDIT: Use the SECOND video link, as the top one does not work. |
| Posted by: Takeshi Nakazato Sep 18 2005, 08:05 PM | ||
shoo, thats one of my reasons and another thing is, Ill be playing it while witing in line at the arcade, I wanna see how many looks I get while playing SS in front of AS |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 19 2005, 07:15 AM | ||
Awesome video... Was the first link for the same video? |
| Posted by: Möbius Sep 19 2005, 06:32 PM |
But that vid is not of a PSP?  |
| Posted by: Jezza_HR Sep 20 2005, 03:22 PM |
| Here's another over at IGN. It's near enough identical though. http://media.psp.ign.com/media/770/770341/vids_1.html |
| Posted by: Kerxn Sep 24 2005, 03:59 PM | ||
its in korean! haha... wont translate for you fools! mainly because im lazy |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 24 2005, 04:48 PM |
| There been any new updates on the game? |
| Posted by: Patkar Sep 24 2005, 08:22 PM |
Its true! I cant wait to at least inport it. OoooOooooOo wow i cant wait. It better be good tho  Maybe something somewhat of like ID3.. yay..  |
| Posted by: bROCKoLEE Sep 24 2005, 09:42 PM | ||
haahh in that vid the guy just rammed straight into the wall It's looking good though. The graphics aren't that much difference from IDAS too so it's looking good so far  |
| Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Sep 24 2005, 10:30 PM | ||
well it does suck playing with directional buttons and all instead of a steering wheel |
| Posted by: Nappy Hared Azn Sep 24 2005, 11:03 PM |
| What about the analog stick? From my limited experience, it's rather useful for Ridge Racer. |
| Posted by: lotteman Sep 25 2005, 09:08 AM |
| DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN ITS COMING OUT?! |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 25 2005, 09:27 AM |
| It's March 30, 2006 (Japan) according to IGN... |
| Posted by: lotteman Sep 25 2005, 01:12 PM |
| oh thank you but in america if it is? WOW! MARCH 30! SOOO LONG *TEAR |
| Posted by: TeAm PrOjEcT D Sep 25 2005, 01:51 PM |
| The game is already on my list. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 25 2005, 02:09 PM |
| It is not coming out here... At least nothing has been announced to suggest it would be... |
| Posted by: Möbius Sep 25 2005, 02:31 PM |
| Hmmm... Need to import it then? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Sep 25 2005, 03:02 PM |
| Looks like it... If it has some improvements over Version 3/Special Stage I'd look into buying a PSP and it myself... |
| Posted by: XSpike Oct 2 2005, 10:23 PM |
| I have never played the arcade version since i live in New Zealand and its no where to be seen which killed me since it looks so good! When i get a PSP (hopefuly this christmas) im for sure to get the PSP version and i'd probably have to import it when its released |
| Posted by: lee_integra Oct 3 2005, 07:47 PM |
| Awww... If we have to import then all of the information will be in Japanese. I hope that Sega realizes the success of Arcade Stage in North America and gives us somthing good to look forward too. |
| Posted by: Woffle Oct 3 2005, 08:00 PM |
| which can't be good, since everybody retard will know about the game and act like the 'shit' |
| Posted by: sdfgdg Oct 5 2005, 08:23 AM |
| just keep an eye out on all the game sites like lik-sang and what not for pre-order cause that way you usually get free worldwide postage aswell which can save you a couple of bucks from what i know about it its version 3 but the quality has obviously been dropped so it'll run on the psp i WOULD buy this if the psp's in australia weren't pieces of shit that are only worthy of the recycle bin for those who dont know aussie psp's have been made faulty and you get dead pixels after only a couple weeks after buying it, IF you dont have more than 10 dead pixels sony will not replace them or refund you, so say if you get 9 dead pixels across your screen and then no more die then your stuck with a f**ked psp which is why i'm never buying one, DS all the way |
| Posted by: am3pkcet Oct 5 2005, 10:01 AM |
| this has about as much possibility of an american release as special stage did, ie NONE. |
| Posted by: Dem Oct 5 2005, 10:06 AM |
| I was walking through Fry's Electronics one day, and when I came across the PSP section, I noticed that they had imported games. So, you might want to try your luck there. |
| Posted by: Graviton Oct 5 2005, 08:11 PM |

| Can PSP cds be played on the PS2 ? The truth is I'm not spending any moola on a psp. I'd rather save it and buy a PS3. But , this is Initial D..... |
| Posted by: Kakashi Nov 25 2005, 08:20 PM |
| You should just save your money for the PS3, PSP ain't all that great. |
| Posted by: azninnovation Nov 25 2005, 08:49 PM |
| yea the psp isn't all that great. it's alright cuz i bought the 1 gig memory card but that barely holds what i would like it to hold. I would really rather buy an ipod video for 300 bucks. |
| Posted by: BOZZ Nov 26 2005, 03:18 AM |
| No new updates on the ID PSP game? |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Nov 26 2005, 03:22 AM |
| I have an update nitial D: Street Stage - Release Date Announced Sega has announced the latest information of Initial D: Street Stage - February 23rd, 2006. The game will implement the 2P battle using WiFi LAN. The “Koutou saisoku densetsu†based on the arcade version “Initial D Arcade Stage Ver.3†will also be included in the PSP version. There is a card collection system in the PSP version. It is yet unknown if the card will influence the gameplay. OMG online play!!! :faints:........:wakes up: and that release date is a moth earlier than everyone expected |
| Posted by: HBOMB Nov 26 2005, 07:46 AM |
this game is gonna be gosu. wonder if there gonna have auras by any chance  |
| Posted by: Kakashi Nov 26 2005, 08:57 AM |
| They should since it's a port of V3. |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Nov 26 2005, 02:59 PM | ||
I really couldn't have asked for a better release date; right before my birthday. |
| Posted by: Takumi Trueno Nov 26 2005, 03:08 PM |
| Anyone want to play this online? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Nov 26 2005, 06:13 PM |
| Interesting.... I just wonder if there will be any track additions, such as Ibaraki, and any new cars or car customization selections... |
| Posted by: DeeBo Nov 26 2005, 06:33 PM |
| Oooo..Maybe I'll get a PSP for Christmas then get the game for my birthday (in February ). What do you guys think? |
| Posted by: Maxberg Nov 27 2005, 11:49 AM | ||
Will the game will be released here in North America? |
| Posted by: BOZZ Nov 27 2005, 12:09 PM |
| I doubt it.... Seeing as the PS2 version ID:AS never came out in North America either... |
| Posted by: lotteman Nov 27 2005, 12:12 PM |
| maybe they saw the hugenessesesss of V.3? then they go hey maybe we shoud? and they should know that america is crazy about id because of formula d and crap |
| Posted by: Guate in evoV Nov 29 2005, 04:23 PM |
| if it doesnt come out in america how can i get it i never ordered anything off the internet before  so might end up doing something wrong can someone please tell me how |
| Posted by: Kakashi Nov 29 2005, 05:00 PM |
| Initial D isn't that popular in america, don't expect to see this game until along time. |
| Posted by: AE86 Levin Dec 3 2005, 01:40 AM | ||
You'll have to online to ebay or something and buy it. Thankfully the american PSP reads Jap games. |

| Posted by: PhantomaZero Dec 6 2005, 09:44 AM |
| It's not out, it's just available for pre order. |
| Posted by: Bishop Dec 6 2005, 02:18 PM |
| Ah man,and I was about to start looking for it (maybe I should buy a PSP first ) |
| Posted by: BOZZ Dec 6 2005, 04:19 PM |
| So are there any more details on the new stuff they added to this game? Such as new tracks or cars? |
| Posted by: Alex Dec 6 2005, 04:34 PM | ||
No regional blocks on the PSP games yet. Just movies. I already went out and got my PSP, a game, and a movie and my mom's holding it till Christmas. |

| this game will be the only reason i buy a psp |

| I've gotta buy PSP for ID Street Stage. That'll suck up all my savings. |
| Posted by: Guate in evoV Dec 13 2005, 02:15 PM |
| i pre ordered the suker when i get it i'm going to go to the arcade and charge people 50 cents to play  |
| Posted by: Turbocharged killa Dec 15 2005, 10:31 PM |
| /\ lmao man i wish it came out over here |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Dec 15 2005, 10:34 PM |
| well if doesnt get a worldwide release buy it anyway since the PSP is game-region free (hooray for that) and I'll try and make a good translation guide for it (bbut probably only for the card system....most of you probably know what'll be going on if you play IDAS) |
| Posted by: Guate in evoV Dec 16 2005, 10:56 AM | ||
what does lmao mean |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Dec 16 2005, 11:11 AM | ||
You can still play japanese games on a U.S. PSP. You just have to import it from play-asia.com or something when it comes out. |

lmao = Laughing My Ass Off (smileys added for emphasis) |
| Posted by: haspieuw Dec 16 2005, 03:56 PM | ||
but still its still got japanese as basic language |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Dec 16 2005, 04:00 PM |
| I'm sure that if you can navigate your way through the Japanese version of IDAS (or Special Stage for that matter) you'll have no trouble. |
| Posted by: Kakashi Dec 16 2005, 05:01 PM |
| Hopefully the chocies in Street Stage are color coded like Special stage. |
| Posted by: shadowblade Dec 16 2005, 05:32 PM |
| did sega say "ONLINE" exactly or "INFRASTRUCTURE" because if they just siad "2p wifi lan" then that means no online its just 2p multiplayer. |
| Posted by: 50Sen Dec 16 2005, 06:13 PM | ||
You can probably recognize the courses by the on screen map if it's gonna be like the special stage course select. Plus they're in the same order as arcade stage. If all else fails, consult gamefaqs.com |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Dec 16 2005, 07:08 PM | ||
Well that's why you go to all the menu's n stuff and check them out and memorize them and remember what is what. That's what I did with Special Stage. |
| Posted by: Guate in evoV Dec 17 2005, 12:11 PM |
| yeah but i read that you get cards to upgrade your car but the thing is that there are more than 200 cards figuring things out one by one will take way to long |
| Posted by: PhantomaZero Dec 17 2005, 01:34 PM | ||
Infrastructure, but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to go online with XLink Kai. |

| Posted by: Kakashi Jan 4 2006, 05:06 PM |
| I wonder how big the game is gonna be, i might buy it if it don't fit on a 1GB memory card since i want the music and stuff in there, instead of having that ripped out of it. |

| if you buy the japanese initial d street stage will it work on the u.s. psp? |
| Posted by: W.A.R Jan 12 2006, 11:51 AM | ||
I think it does because at frys they sell japanese imports for the PSP. |
| Posted by: r3d$unz Jan 12 2006, 11:52 AM |
| short answer: yes all PSP games currently are region free, UMD movies (and music I think) have a region lock on them (though some european movies work on my 1st series Japanese PSP ) |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 12 2006, 11:58 AM |

| http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9f-49-en-70-14ot.html I don't know how many people have seen this already, but whatever. I can't wait to order my copy, I have to wait a week after it comes out though, because Megacon is the same weekend it comes out. Damn inconvenience... or is it? |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 18 2006, 10:42 AM |
| is it $52.90 or $39.90? |
| Posted by: project_desire Jan 18 2006, 11:07 AM | ||
I think its $52.90, but I also saw that it had another price, so I'm not sure which one is the accurate price, lol. |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 18 2006, 11:22 AM |
| man i got my hopes up for a second $39.90 that would have been the best |
| Posted by: project_desire Jan 18 2006, 11:27 AM |
| ^ That would be awesome but I'll buy it either way, I know its expensive, but its not nearly as much money as I spend on IDAS, and I'm tired of my PSP sitting on my dresser collecting dust. But that's going to be over soon, since all these great new games are coming out. I can't wait!!! |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 18 2006, 11:35 AM | ||
yeah i would buy it either way too it's just if it was $39.90 i could put the money i saved into ver. 3 |
| Posted by: D3 DrIvEr Jan 18 2006, 12:50 PM |
| how much moooney is it going to cost 50. its not that bad |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 18 2006, 08:57 PM |
| $52.90 + $3.10 that should be how much it's going to cost |
| Posted by: style86 Jan 18 2006, 09:33 PM |
| Yesasia has it for 49.99 and free worldwide shipping. I think i'm going to get it there. |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 18 2006, 11:05 PM |
| $49.99 plus tax should be about $52.06 i think i'm going to get it from yesasia.com too if not from there i'll just go to toys n joys or something |
| Posted by: Maxberg Jan 19 2006, 04:41 PM |
| I know the game is from Japan, but do you know if there will be an english version ou the english language in the game??? |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 19 2006, 04:50 PM |
| from what i know there is not going to be an english version. it would make life easyer if there was an english version |
| Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Jan 19 2006, 04:51 PM | ||
i doubt it, it'll prob be just like special stage so you'll have to rely on FAQs and translation guides to navigate your way around the game |
| Posted by: Maxberg Jan 19 2006, 04:55 PM |
| Ok thanks. That's what I was thinking |
| Posted by: BOZZ Jan 19 2006, 05:01 PM | ||
You never know, I mean the latest Armored Core for PSP, although made for Japan, has a mode where you can switch the language to English amongst other languages... |

| I have an other question What is the difference between these two: Japan Version: http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/section-games/code-c/version-all/pid-1004100704/ Asian Version: http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/section-games/code-c/version-all/pid-1004103963/ I want to pre-order the game but I don't understang why there is 2 versions dans why the price is different... |
| Posted by: Kakashi Jan 19 2006, 05:50 PM |
| I'm guessing different region types for that game. |
| Posted by: Mr.Ferret Jan 19 2006, 05:58 PM |
*sigh* there ARE no regions on the psp games!  |
| Posted by: Kakashi Jan 19 2006, 06:16 PM |

yes that's correct, games have no region encoding only the UMD movie disks are region locked |
| Posted by: haspieuw Jan 20 2006, 12:16 PM |
| i think the asian version is in chinese and the other in japanese language setting |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 20 2006, 01:38 PM |
| I placed my preorder for the Japanese version today from http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9f-49-en-70-14ot.html. $56 well spent, I hope. haspieuw, you are correct on the language settings. The asian version is in chinese, but it comes with an english-language manual. The japan version comes with a japanese manual (damn it). I wish I could get the english manual... my japanese is still a tad shaky.  |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 20 2006, 02:16 PM | ||
it that the reason that the asian one costs more? because it has an english manual |
| Posted by: haspieuw Jan 20 2006, 05:19 PM |
| well i think they need pay those guys for the translating job ... |
| Posted by: Woffle Jan 20 2006, 10:45 PM |

can you post the link anyway.  |
| Posted by: Alex Jan 21 2006, 07:23 PM |
| Anyone with order experience with Play-Asia.com? The "Asian" version on theres IS $39.90(before tax) like previously mentioned and comes with an English manual. That's significanlty cheaper than Yesasia.com's price. Infact, the Asian version on YA.com costs more than the Jap. version, so this is a strange turn around. I want to know if they're reliable and fast. |
| Posted by: Maxberg Jan 22 2006, 12:43 AM |
| f**k YESASIA ASKJHFASDKLFASDDFSDASFD Sorry but I'm sick of it. I can't pre-order the game and the horrible customer service don't give a damn.... Is anybody who pre-order the game at yesasia or i'm play-asia il a better place... |

Ah, wow, never knew of that site. Thanks They look pretty good. Scores are all 7+ and the pricing is 5+ but they have a great deal on this game so I'll most definately pre-order it from them. |
| Posted by: lee_integra Jan 23 2006, 05:16 AM |
| Shouldn't they make an international version of this game, with an English translation? I mean COME ON! Afterall English is the global standard. |
| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Jan 23 2006, 08:29 AM |
I know a ton of info on this game. I pre-ordered it from a japan game company on ebay. Pre-orderers get a limited edition Ry (Ryousuke) Takahashi video UMD with witheld content that no one knows. It comes out Feb 23rd.    |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 23 2006, 11:02 AM |
| Well, that'll be a nice surprise to come with my preorder, if that bonus UMD is for ALL preorders and not just from that company. |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 23 2006, 11:51 AM |
| is there a japanese version with the english manual? i know a little japanese. don't know any chinese. the asian version is in chinese? right? |

| Posted by: 3drift Jan 23 2006, 08:47 PM |
| is the asian or chinese version in canto? or...the mandarin? |
| Posted by: TeAm PrOjEcT D Jan 23 2006, 09:09 PM |
| im getting it |
| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Jan 23 2006, 09:19 PM | ||
Yes the Ryosuke Takahashi Limited Edition UMD is included with all pre-orders. Im only worried that because it is a UMD video, it would be region locked. Only games are region-free, not movies. will they make this UMD region free? we will see. |

| Posted by: Alex Jan 24 2006, 06:35 PM |

| i cant pay anyother way |
| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Jan 25 2006, 08:10 PM | ||
haha go to westernunion.com. lol or if you wanna do what I did you get the cost of the item in cash+$17 processing fee, then go to a western union. pick out a form (gray i think) that says send cash through western union. fill it out:(item number, seller info, your info etc.), then u pay them and in a matter of seconds youre payment is sent. ask a rep for more info. |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 25 2006, 08:14 PM |
| $17 processing fee?! |
| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Jan 25 2006, 08:24 PM | ||
or so. I think the processing fee depends on where you send the money. Im sending it to H.K. which Im glad so I get the english manual. and for anyone who wants that vid of that kid playing street stage horribly, its on psp.ign.com keyword: initial d psp and about the output to the big screen to play. any a/v cable only plays sound. no video. sorry. They mustve wired it in the vid or special cables. Im sure they will come up with a cable to play psp on a tv. c'mon even nintendo did it. |

| Posted by: Yui_chan Jan 25 2006, 10:32 PM |
| Uhm hi sorry i know whats in the UMD vid its in a magazine i read.. It contains a collection of video clips of the game, famous scenes from the anime, promotion videos and a preview trailer of Initial D The Movie. Please dont be angry i just wanted to help you guys out. |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 25 2006, 10:32 PM |
| What do you mean by "what is the deal with this english manual"? All I know is that it is only being included with the asian (read: chinese) version of the game. For the love of God, somebody translate it and bring it stateside! That'll clear the issue right away! |

its just a translation of the japanese/chinese manuals. the vid is of a kid playing it on a big screen. he sucks though. Oh and Yui chan thanks for the info on the UMD content. Cant wait till I get it. I love pre-orders! |

| Why only package it with the asian release? I'm sure people with the japanese version would be happy with it, too! I sure as hell would appreciate it. I'm not going to buy both versions just to get a manual I can actually understand. |

| Theyre just weipd I guess. China and Japan arent really best friends. China probably wants more customers as you do see many products that say "made in China." They just made the manual. |

| maybe someone should scan the english manual and post it so that everone can download it this is just a idea |

| thats a damn good idea |

| So if you pre-order the asian or japanese game you get a free movie UMD with it too? I wanna get the chinese version since it's cheaper but if this game is like special stage and it ends up having the voice actors in the game I'd rather have the japanese version.... |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 29 2006, 01:17 PM |
| If some people in the US game companies would get off their asses and bring this game stateside, I'd get that version instead. Not sure if voices will be a part of this release. It'd be a first for portable Initial D gaming, though. |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Jan 29 2006, 02:00 PM | ||
There was that GBA Initial D game but...but this one will be greater by far, probably even greater than the Special Stage as well if they include a story mode that covers the same stuff it did in special stage plus some more. |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 29 2006, 02:12 PM |
| does anyone know if there is going to be an english version? if not then i'll just get the japanese version |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 29 2006, 02:13 PM |
| I know there was a GBA game. Another Stage was a great game once you got used to the gameplay. I meant that if Street Stage has voices implemented, then it would be the first one to feature them in all of Initial D portable gaming history. Initial D Gaiden (GB) --> Initial D Another Stage (GBA) --> Initial D Street Stage (PSP) EDIT: @imprezagc8 - No word yet on an english release. Seeing how stingy the guys overseas can be when it comes to licensing the series thanks to a few mistakes on our end (note: Mountain Vengeance, Initial D DVD English Dub), it doesn't have much of a chance of being translated for a domestic release. If they'd just let the guys that translated Arcade Stage also do Street Stage, we'd be in business. |

| it would suck if it did get translated but they did a bad job i think i'll get the jap. ver. just to be safe |
| Posted by: Guate in evoV Jan 30 2006, 12:28 PM |
| i ordered it from play-asia and got the asian version with the english manual does that caome with a UMD |
| Posted by: Maxberg Jan 30 2006, 01:11 PM |
| The UMD is region locked so we can't read it on our PSP I suppose.... |
| Posted by: DCEVO3 Jan 30 2006, 01:22 PM |
| im getting the japenese version it will come with the umd right? im gonna get anyway whether or not it does hopefully it has akina in snow havent got to play akina snow only have ver2 around here |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 30 2006, 01:38 PM |
| i think that wherever you pre-order it you will get the extra umd video |
| Posted by: Tessou Jan 30 2006, 03:01 PM |
| It doesn't matter, because UMD videos are region-locked. Translation: You cannot play the UMD video on your American PSP system. |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Jan 30 2006, 03:42 PM |
| What is the UMD video even about? Any guesses? |
| Posted by: Yui_chan Jan 30 2006, 03:44 PM | ||
^^^^^^^^ I think game like this will hard to play with no steering wheel. |
| Posted by: Takumi_Drift Jan 30 2006, 04:41 PM | ||
WOW thats soo awsome thanx for the infoYui_chan |
| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Jan 30 2006, 05:04 PM | ||
Yeah! it looks likmd it would. But Ive used my PSP for all types of things so I can deal. DCEVO3:Yeah it has Akina-Snow. Everyone the UMD is usually region-locked, but a company can chose whether to or not. They might not knowing the amount of foreign fans. We have to hope Tokyopop doesn take this game and make a repeat of the PC game. Realize the game is just a port of the arcade with a new card system in substitution for points. Nothing different.^^ |
| Posted by: imprezagc8 Jan 30 2006, 05:54 PM |
| little confused here. so let me get this straight. initial d street stage is just like idas ver3, but instead of getting points you cards yes akina snow |
| Posted by: APX Jan 30 2006, 07:28 PM |
| Wait.... whaaaa???? |
| Posted by: Phantom_R32 Jan 31 2006, 09:28 AM | ||
They can't make a repeat of the PC game with just the Initial D Street Stage game itself...the worse they could do would be add the tokyopop music and ruin the dialogue when it shows the text when the characters talk. EDIT: Instead of the point system you get cards to upgrade your car with for instance you can probably get a card for ECU and Change high diffrential oil and you probably will get part exchange cars too like rims and spoilers and all that stuff. I'm not %100 sure but i'm pretty sure that's how it will be. |
| Posted by: DCEVO3 Jan 31 2006, 05:14 PM |
| well akina snow makes it a definat buy for me now thats so FREAKIN SWEET!!!! |

| Posted by: imprezagc8 Feb 1 2006, 02:41 PM |

| Posted by: xsleepydrifterx Feb 1 2006, 05:16 PM |
| Here: This is a compilation of several screenshots and as you can see its v.3 graphics. It has a lot more cars now(woot woot) to chose from. some new music, and imprezagc8 you were right about the card system |
| Posted by: FD3S Takahashi Feb 1 2006, 06:22 PM |
| This is going to be an awesome game from what I can see. Can't Wait. |
