Before I have to go through the process of unhooking my PS4 to set my PS3 back up, can somebody confirm if this a worldwide? I'm sure it is but want to know for sure.

Are the discounts worldwide or just Japan?

I don't see it in the JP store.

Edit: Never Mind I see it.

cool.. but worldwide? We know Japan gonna get it no question

I see it as $36 in the US Store.

Do you have plus!? That sucks if it is only Japan. I want a figher sooo bad

I just checked and it is not free so it is for japan only

Is it free only for Japan Plus members? if not I don't mind making a japanese account to get it.

I unhooked my PS4 ethernet only to find DOA5U is not free on the Europe store. I guess it is Japan only. I'll log into my Japanese account to see if I can download.
