Asian DOAX2 for half the price of JPN DOAX2!

I own a Japanese 360 and I'm planning to buy DOAX2, which I am assuming will be the same content in each region. (US, Japan, etc.) Owning a Japanese Xbox, I was expecting to have to pay 8,000 yen or so for this game, but just within the last day or two I saw this link on play-asia showing that an Asian version of DOAX2 will be available in November! That's literally five cents below half the price of the Japanese version, and both games come out in November? (The Japan version is released on 11/22, but the Asian version is just listed as Nov 2006)

I know some Xbox 360 games are being censored for specific regions, such as Dead Rising. But there don't seem to be any regional changes in DOAX2. I should be able to pay half price by ordering the Asian version and still get the full game in November. Does anyone know the exact release date for the Asian version?
 
You mean besides the fact that I'm interested in buying a game the features 3D anime women running around in swimsuits? Seriously, the Japanese version is $80, and just today I found a page for an Asian version for $40.

slick, but all your links are converted to CAG referrals. Cheapy - 1, you - 0
 
[quote name='Drakken']There's no indication that this will be region-free. Kind of a pointless thread.[/QUOTE]
If you actually read it you would have seen that he's not posting a deal but that he is asking if anyone knew the release date for the Asian version of DOAX2 because he could get that for half the price.
 
[quote name='Drakken']There's no indication that this will be region-free. Kind of a pointless thread.[/quote]It's probably not region free, but every Asian game to date has worked on Japanese 360s. Anyone who owns a Japanese 360 can spend 50% the price of the Japanese game to get the Asian version instead. Assuming it actually comes out in November, you'll wait a maximum of 8 days more to get the same game for half price. That's why, as grap3fruitman pointed out, I'd be very interested in knowing if there's actually a confirmed release date anyone knows. (Tecmo only has a Japanese and US web site, and neither of those list release dates for Taiwan.)
 
Hmmm...tempting, but it seems that the Japanese version has a "limited edition". Now, I'm not sure what they're going to include (hopefully a Kasumi faceplate), but I'm such a sucker for limited editions -_-; If anyone can tell me what they plan on including as a special bonus for the Japanese version, then that would help me a great deal. Perhaps I can just stick with the Asian version if I'm not impressed with the bonus.

Not to mention it reads
