Headlines

We had reported almost three weeks ago Konami had officially announced its newest Beatmania IIDX CS entry - DJ Troopers - for its home invasion. Well, now, Konamistyle has been updated with the game, which means only one thing ... special edition sets!

On December 18, you can for broke with the 13,758 Yen (roughly $135.68 U.S.) Beatmania IIDX 15th Style DJ Troopers Konamistyle Complete Set. The package comes with the obvious DJ Troopers game disc but also throws in Beatmania IIDX Visual Emotions 7, the Beatmania IIDX 2009 calendar, beatnation Records「Rewind！」 by Keiichi Ueno and I believe a special box the items come in.

Those who can live without owning the newest beatnation Records album, can spend 11,238 Yen ($110.48 U.S.) to still pick up the remainder of the items in a DJ Troopers Special Edition. Otherwise, if you just want to get your IIDX on without the sweet goods, the DJ Troopers game on its own is still set at 7,300 Yen ($72.00 U.S.).

If you need to start from scratch, the company is even selling IIDX controllers with each available option. The complete set plus a controller will set you back 19,848 Yen ($195.76 U.S.). If you click the first link in the story and scroll to the bottom of the page, the three column options are the DJ Trooper + controller options.
