Im very happy to see that Aksys did an amazing job with this Limited Edition and gives me more for great things with a Blazblue: Continuum Shift Limited Edition in the future. You get a faceplate , the game and the game soundtrack for 49.99 ... i say its well worth it ... unless you just that tight on money. Out of the many Key features Aksys pointed out i have to say the one that stood out the most for me was the Online co-op for the game , which is what every shmup needs
The game is set to be released sometime in June ... so look forward to it
