Biohazard CODE: Veronica (new, sealed) for $23.50 shipped??

I've never played the series before and I don't know if the Japanese version will be too confusing.... Get it or no??

Is it in English or Japanese? Not bad if it's the same as the US version.

You can get the US Version, used or new, for better than that. I'd highly reccommened getting the domestic versions, bad acting and all

Or, if you have a PS2, wait for the enhanced one coming out soon.

Well no immediate plans on getting the PS2. And all I know is that it says, import. But on the screen shots it shows japanese writing. So I'm assuming it is not in english.... So I should just go with the US version?

I saw it at 30 bucks at Blockbuster used so that seems like a good price new.

I've played through the Japanese Dreamcast version, and it's fine. Just pick up a strategy guide to tell you what the items, weapons, and puzzles mean. All of the voices are in English - the Biohazard/RE games are not dubbed when they come out here - so the only difference is the menus and such. I played through it without a strategy guide with no problems.

But you can get the US version brand new for $29.99 at Best Buy, so if you don't play a lot of imports I'd just pick up the local version. Awesome game!

Thank you for all of the advice.

I'm going to go for the US version but if anyone else might be interested in the Biohazard import version here it is:

Please BEWARE... the above link is through express.com which geoff K. just posted about over in the dvd bargains forum. Evidently, they just fired 120 employees and are going under fast. If you are thinking about ordering from them, you should read this first:
