+Sometimes Christmas presents are really unexpected, and today I found out I was given one such gift: the limited edition of _THE IDOLM@STER 2, _PS3 version. It was quite a bulky box, showing all the main characters from the game (and from the recently-ended anime) (click to enlarge):

+
+Of course, having such a box means that there's a lot of stuff inside. In fact, once opened, there are two game BDs (one being the actual game, the second being the first volume of _Gravure for you!_ starring Haruka), a soundtrack (no songs, though), a booklet, a number of postcards (mine were showing Iori's ending from episode 2 of the TV series), a booklet and also the first BD of the anime version:

+
+It turns out the BD is also one of the limited editions, with a nice cover and more goodies, including a small booklet and a CD with the songs heard in the episodes:

+And here are the postcards:

+What about the game itself? Well, I have played it only briefly so far: I know it will be a bit painful to translate since the text is timed (having it stop, like in _Neptume mk.2_ is quite handy if you don't catch something at first) and well, kind of different than the games I played so far. Still, in my opinion the various characters make it a worthwhile challenge.
