GunfighterHefty Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 So...apparently now this game is super hard to find but I still see "Japanese region free" copies for significantly less money. Does anyone know if these copies are completely played in Japanese or if there's an option to have it play in English...or just any experience with it? Appreciate any insight.

HuntingFever Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The Audio and Subs are available in both English and Japanese from what I've read and been told, though I can't comment on the menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffcar Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 A bit late sorry but can confirm that the audio, menus and subtitles all change to the consoles factory set region to begin with. At least with the Japanese Region Free Premium Edition with an option to play fully Japanese as well. I took a gamble and purchased one of these cheaper copies from Japan direct and it has worked a treat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JourneySilvers Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Sounds like the Japanese copy is good, but if you're ever in the need of an English copy of a hard to find ps3 game, I'd suggest checking if you have any flea markets in your local area. I bought a copy of Lollipop for $15 at a booth in mine, and other than needing a case replacement, it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipop Chainsaw had a very low print in EU and NA. Also factor in that it’s a SUDA game so it has a cult following… And the fact that it’s a damn good game!

Assuming it actually ships. Try finding a complete version of this game - unless you get lucky with a local independent retailer - you are probably looking at $50+. Lots of old PS3 games are going up. The Ratchet games (I still need the trilogy), Shadows of the Damned, Puppeteer (I gave my copy away when it was on Plus....damn) all are way up in price. Not Vita game crazy prices, but many are at or above the original retail price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawltyPowers Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Brought my copy for £40 on e-bay. Such mediocre reviews, but so many recommendations on this site. I've enjoyed every minute of it which has taken me by surprise. Yes it's Lewd, but it's also funny especially Nick, satisfying combat and a decent challenge (I'm embarrassed how many times I died on the gondola). The camera can be irritating at times but that's the case with so many hack and slash games. Hopefully have the platinum tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they even still had PS3 games. Up here EB has cleared out all old gen stock. The pandemic has really impacted prices. I think a lot of smaller stores have either closed shop, or due to pandemic restrictions not been open. So sales have moved online only, with eBay being the only option for a lot of people. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=lollipop+chainsaw+ps3&_sacat=0&_sop=15 There isn't an NA version currently on eBay for less than $50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most gamestops now either removed PS3 games entirely or there's a small selection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places like Ebay or even Amazon will mark up games for being CIB, or lower them for being Disc-only, so you might be paying 15$ for Lollipop Chainsaw (assuming you can even order it now), but you might just get a disc with scratches that let it start up, but ultimately don't let progress past a certain point. As pointed out earlier, Gamestop has a track record of shipping damaged goods, or just a disc. I've had to return a few games because they're scratched up, and my replacement is only slightly less riddled in said scratches, and I've only ever gotten a game with a case with everything once out of the dozen times I've ordered online. I'll add that given the legacy of the game and the creator, it's no surprise people would like to have the case and manual to go along with the game to add to their collection. Mileage may vary, but online Gamestop orders are basically a roll of the dice these days, especially with older games.
