Nice work! I wish I knew Japanese so I could play these games. :/ I got the demo on PSN, but all I could do was practice 1 song and then the demo ended. Is that all the demo allows you to do? XD

Yeah, all it does is let you play a week. But you the majority of the game's features is still open for you to try.... It's just you have to reload the demo once you finish.

Is there somewhere on the internet that explains (in english) how to navigate the game and stuff?

[AweOfShe]

You can probably use the Im@s wikia, though I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for the tip! If I am able to effectively navigate the demo using it, I might even import the game! It is very cool that I can download on my Japanese PSN and then play the demo on my US PSN without switching back. Do you just play your copy on your Canadian (I think) PSN?

[AweOfShe]

I play all my imports on my US accounts. I only use my JP accounts when I'm in the mood to replay / re-100% a game for fun.

Cool! So it works great, and I can see the trophies if I click your link. How much did you have to pay for just for Im@s2?

That looks cool. Do those little red things on the top light up by any chance? They look like they could, but I somehow doubt they'd be functional.

But man, that looks so cool. I'd love to have one on display with all my other stuff.

Like AweOfShe said, you can do everything available, but you have to reload every time. That means you can do promotions, lessons, auditions, lives, and festivals (even one against Ryuugu Komachi, who were pretty difficult given the limitations in the demo, IIRC).

A couple of places.

http://imas2.wota.info/ - Has a lot of info on the PS3 version.
http://imas.wikia.com/wiki/The_Idolm@ster_Gameplay_Wiki - More suited to the 360 version, but still has some good info.

How much did you have to pay for just for Im@s2?

I personally paid $90 for it from Play-Asia, but here are some options:

Play-Asia - Almost always in good stock.
AmiAmi - Good price, but always seem sold out.
NCSX - Pretty expensive, but it's an option.

I'm not aware of any other major import sites, but if anyone knows one, don't hesitate to share. My Toradora Portable order with NCSX doesn't seem to be working out and I can't order from the other two. I might have to take leinaud up on his kind offer.

I paid roughly $220 for the Limited Edition. When it comes to Im@s, I go all-out.

Nah, it's just a regular kit of the outer cabinet. However, thanks to SakuraMaxX from project-im@s forums, I intend to do some further modifications to it. Though if I can, I plan to use the Im@s 1 opening loops.

I also use hmv.co.jp, however that place is EMS only, if you're willing to pay that much for shipping. Aside from this, and the ones you mentioned, they are my main sources for imports. There's also YesAsia, though I've never used them myself, so I can't vouch for its service quality.

[suttonmitchell]

Thanks for all the info guys! Holy crap, I better start saving up. I think I will use Play-Asia, since I have been on their site before, just never ordered anything. I only hear good things about it anyways.
