Release Details leaked out earlier through various sources, but Tecmo Koei has now made formal announcement of Dead or Alive 5's release date. The Xbox 360 and PS3 fighter will be released on September 27, priced ¥8,190 in standard form.
Tecmo Koei will also release a ¥11,340 Collectors Edition. This includes an official visual book, original soundtrack CD, eight character post cards, 10 special character metal plates, and a download serial code for 12 "Premium Sexy Costumes."
The first print run of both versions will include a download serial code for "Sexy Costumes" for Ayane and Kasumi. These appear to be different from the "Premium Sexy Costumes" included with the Collectors Edition. The Collectors Edition "Premium Sexy Costumes" will also be available
as paid download content following release.
Here's Kasumi's Premium Sexy Costume (the one in the Collectors Edition). Tecmo Koei will be gradually releasing pics of the other costumes.

Called it. All the sexy stuff is DLC

Christie better get a pro-domme outfit, or else.

Oh, what the hell, wearing a London trenchcoat topless will suffice.

 

[Scott]

Another centerpiece like a statue or something would have been cool. Ahh well, the soundtracks and more costumes will be nice I guess. Prob not nice enough to drop 40 more dollars for.

The american website does mention a "Standard" version so the CE will definitely make it here.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I expect it to as well, but don't know what the CE is so I'd wait for the American announcement.

 

[PhoenixVFIRE]

Doesn't sound worth it to me at least...especially considering you will be able to get it through DLC later...

 

[Matt Ponton]

Minus the Ayane/Kasumi first print run.

btw the front page story mentions Team Ninja doesn't lock out content, but they did it with NGS2 and probably NG3. At the very least they're obviously setting aside crap they know certain people will pay extra for. And I'd gladly pay $80 for a game as long as it's not half physical, half digital. This just makes me want to pirate

 

[Kasumi]

So much for trying to make it serious lol.

 

[LostSkeleton73]

My guess the other premium sexy costumes are for the guys. I mean, who doesn't want to see Zack in the Borat swimsuit? Eh? Eh?

 

[TRI Mike]

I'd go all MLG Pro for a Jann Lee with Borat swimsuit.



not really

Team Ninja confirmed a CE for US via facebook. Score 1 for my investigative journalism.

Yeah, it was obvious we were getting a CE, but what is in the CE and how any DLC is distributed is what we're waiting to hear.

I'm disappointed in the bikini outfits. I would've liked some more substantial outfits as a bonus rather than skimpy ones. Oh well, c'est la vie.

 

[DriftSlave]

Like for NG3, was there any doubt that were not getting the same CE? we'll have to spend around $100-120 USD for it though....

Sailor V?

Who's gonna wear a costume like that, I wonder? =P

 

[DriftSlave]

Oh God...if DOA had a Mahou Shoujo Character....

 

[UncleKitchener]

Pay more money to see 3D anime titties.

 

[Awesmic]

Oh God...if DOA had a Mahou Shoujo Character....

Christie's voice actress could add her Sailor Moon voice samples for shits and giggles...
