Sega Japan announced today a PlayStation 2 the Best re-release version of Valkyria Chronicles. While low-priced re-releases are common in Japan, this particular release will have something extra going for it.
In addition to the base game, Sega will be bundling in the Edie Buntai Daisakusen downloadable episode. That episode was part of the first download content update for the game back in August, and cost 600 yen on its own. Together, the full game and download mission will sell for 3,990 yen, with a Japanese release for the new version planned for March 5.
Valkyria Chronicles is still relatively new in our part of the world, so talk of a budget version is pre-mature. But when it does come out, let's hope Sega includes similar bonuses so that the armies of PS3 owners who haven't tried out the game will have some incentive to do so.
