It seems that Blue dragon hits stores in the US today, not that anyone has given it the briefest mention in weeks. Someone saw fit to release it here in the UK on the same day as Bioshock, which seems to me like a colossal mistake in every sense of the word.
Blue dragon seems to have completely dropped off the radar for everyone I've mentioned it to, I expect this is due to
sub par reviews, but it might simply be that people just aren't too interested in the title to begin with. Obviously this was built to increase Japanese market penetration, but I'm surprised to see how little interest it seems to be picking up over here.
Was anyone contemplating picking this up? It's a miss from me, but I'm still vaguely curious and might consider a bargain bin buy in the future.

Indeed the scores seem quite varied, though personally I tend to side with Eurogamer so much that I've come to trust their reviews now for the most part.
If they're correct, it's a real shame because I do like a bit of linear Jap RPG action if the storyline is up to snuff. There's always persona 3, if it ever gets a PAL release. (Curse you United Kingdom!)
Metroid
BioShock
Halo 3
Those are the only games I'm buying this year.
