IDOLM@STER Rakes In Your DLC Money
Japanese illustrator and designer Akiman is famous for his Street Fighter II and Final Fight character work. Now that he’s freelance, his designs pop up in all sorts of places.
But for a price, it seems! Take the new downloadable content for idol simulator THE iDOLM@STER SP for the PSP. While Namco Bandai isn’t exactly known for its restraint in releasing copious amounts of iDOLM@STER DLC at bargain basement prices, the Akiman DLC is on the pricey side — that is, if you’re planning on buying all of it.
All the Akiman iDOLM@STER gear will set players back a whopping ¥6,350 (US$65)! The game itself retails for around ¥6,000. Though, since Namco released three versions of this game, this is all par for the course.

PSP’s insane (and easily accessible) piracy will mean they never see a cent.
@linkura: Well he's going out with you, what more can you ask for?
Seriously, you're taking it a bit too serious if you're worried about 12 year old idols in dress up.
Fake ones at that.
scotty
@WildTengu: hehehehe I sea wut u did thar! hehehehehe its fapable hehehehe
Wrong price if you're talking about the DLC that's coming out this week. Like....WAY off.
I'm planning on buying this outfit and it'll only set me back ï¿¥1000. So yeah... Although the whole set is probably around 16 or so dollars. Somewhere around there.
So yeah, your price is pretty misleading since I'm sure Akiman only designed this recent one.

@linkura: It's rather riskay, but i could imagine worse, like perhaps if he unlocked the game through debug mode, ands did things >.>
@Altersparck: Well there was that one guy that bought like 100 copies =/
@gold163: do you see the girl in the bottom right, THAT PURE MOE~~~~~ O_O...
*leaves*
@KillerBee: Digital animated 12 year old girls. I don't understand how that is being insecure more than not wanting to date someone with pedophilic tendencies.
linkura
@linkura: Wait, you'd dump your fiancee because he looks at digital animated girls on a 3" video game screen?
Insecure much?
@wintersleep: The actual game doesn't border on child porn like this DLC does.
linkura
@linkura: You mean they're not 8? Godammit Namco, this Asian wants his money back.
Namco is only slightly worse than Capcom with the DLC crap.
UsernameOfTheDead
Stupid Fapanese games.

@linkura:
you stuck by him even though he owns IDOLM@STER, why leave him then?
@linkura: Actually, scratch that. The youngest (the twins) are TWELVE. Why Japan whyyyyy.
linkura
$65?? Thats like... what? 6 hours with a good speed? =3
u__u I want this game, Ill get it anyway =3 (Ill buy it!)

My fiance has this game. I would probably consider dumping him if he bought this DLC (the one featured in the picture). The girls are as young as 14 (at least in the version he bought)! He said he isn't interested in buying any DLC for the game though, as it is a ripoff.
linkura
Good Lord, this borders on being full-on child pornography!
DukeOfPwn
Goddamn, $65 for DLC? That's insane!
Or, could it be that Idolmaster otaku are the insane ones?
65!? ._.
do want...do not want empty wallet
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU...-
@gold163:
Same here lol
Damn it, I think the saddest part is that I can't decide whether I think it's worth it or not.
namco sure loves their DLC
bullshit it costs $65, this news is a week old and wrong: [www.bandainamcogames.co.jp]

Unless Akiman has broadened his career into making music, the actual clothing clocks in at about 2400 Yen. But yeah, hefty DLC for IM@S, then again, nothing we haven't seen before.
@Linus88:
You underestimate the loyalty of Idol M@ster fans
Anyway this DLC isn't that bad. It has 2 new characters along with all the song tracks resung.

@Atomsk88: Thats nothing, fucking those six objects isn't exactly that surprising, or change my view of the world.
Imagine getting your intestines sucked out your ass by a suction tube in the pool because you were trying to get off on that feeling of having your ass sucked, it's been done.
People even die because they choke the shit out of themselves jerking off (autoerotic asphyxiation) all the time. 'Death my Misadventure'.
Somehow I think you're fiance could be a lot more sexually deviant... looking at cartoon idols no matter what the age just isn't that bad.
@linkura:Out of curiosity, how old is your fiance?
@pmur:
Personally, i find the saddest part to be that people are willing to spend 65 bucks for DLC on the psp. PSP. Hello? PSP!!!
I know plenty of people with psps, and maybe 3 of them actually bought a game.
@AznSlackerType: 39 copies... still crazy!

@Gaff: The article is misleading, it's not 6500 for the clothes, but for the 961 MA songs too, still a rip-off, trought

@gold163:
It looks nice, but at $65 I don't think it's worth it, man.

@likwidcid:
I gagged a little...
then I got off on it
@likwidcid: Haha, "misadventure" sounds like you accidentally tore your pants on Old Man Magillicutty's fence after picking his prized huckleberrys.
@Atomsk88: *cough*sacred*cough*
Atomsk88
@likwidcid: Thing is, I know that already, and as an adult I stay away from the jets and tubes of a swimming pool.
It's the everyday things that I now have a thought in my mind, "Dude, someone could have stuck their dick there..." Like, some guy could have laid on the picnic table and had his dirty way with that one hole all night.
It's like nothing's scared anymore, man!

@AznSlackerType: Isn't that Chihaya? What's she doing with breasts?
@Bash Craft: THAT'S NOT TRUE!

I fap to hentai ;D [jk jk]
@Linus88: Your post makes me sad :(
Besides, this game sold pretty well in Japan.
