Demon's Souls is coming to North America on October 6th for the PlayStation 3. Priced at $59.99 in a standard edition, it will ship with an art book and brand new cover art. Additionally, the game will be served on new North American servers. Atlus calls out Final Fantasy XI's online experience as a reason for the new servers. Ooh, burn.
The Atlus Spoils program continues with a $69.99 "Stop Importing It" edition. It will come with a 150+ page strategy guide and a fancy slip cover, too.
Again, both will be released on October 6th, which was announced here at Anime Expo for the first time. We'll get you pictures as soon as possible.

Apparently the game is really hard, so perhaps you'll need it.
Oh well, it comes with stuff! And I love the "Stop Importing It" title. I hope they keep that in the official header.
Besides, it cost me around $75 to import the damn thing the first time, so I'll just write that off. I wonder if I'll be able to sell my old one. Or maybe play both, and get my trophies twice.
Yes, you die a lot. But it manages to stay fun and not frustrating.
I started, and having so much fun with the Thief. It was SOOOO difficult at the start. Took me 20-30 tries to just get the main gate open. But now it's worth it, I'm lithe, wired and stabby-in-back-y!
