"Microsoft announced today that Trusty Bell Chopin's Dream will be joining the Xbox 360 Platinum Collection budget lineup. The Bandai Namco RPG will get a new low price, and the new packaging to go along with it, on January 8. Pricing is set at 3,800 yen, putting it towards the higher end of Platinum Collection games.
Known as Eternal Sonata overseas, Trusty Bell is set in the dreams of Chopin in the hours before the composer's death. The game features piano work from world renowned Russian pianist Stanislav Stanislavovich Bunin and musical composition from Motoi Sakuraba. A PS3 version was released in September.
Trusty Bell will be joined in January by a few other Platinum Collection titles. As previously announced, Armored Core For Answer and Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom will be released on January 8, to be followed on the 15th by Virtua Fighter 5 Live Arena. These will carry a 2,940 yen price."

We're not even sure when Japan will play with Prince Crescendo in combat. It might be soon, though. Play-Asia just posted a September 18 release date for the Asian version. A few weeks ago Play-Asia leaked Afrika's release date so this could be real. On the other hand, Trusty Bell: Chopin no Yume won't come out until September 18, 2009 in Japan.
Two "typos" or one? You decide."
I say this September since I think it was a year exclusive for Xbox and I it came out Sept/October of last year.
I hope they mean Sep 08, the sooner it comes out in Japan the sooner it'll come here.
I would recommened to any RPG fan with a 360 to download this demo.
but after watching the demo on gametrailers I can see why there's so much interest now.
i'am interested in how many copies that is
No longer can people say the xbox brand only good for FPS games. While yes the best FPS games are to be found on the 360....Its now home to JRPG's and many other game types. I think MS has done a masterful job securing a variety of games this time around. I'm so looking foward to this game, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect ,Two Worlds , and Huxely.
...one! With 5 that I can remember on the way within a year, its definitely doing better in that department than the xbox.
