Listings for the upcoming PS3 and 360 game, Raging Blast, are finally starting to appear online. Amazon has standard entries for both the PS3 and 360 versions, while GameStop’s PS3 and 360 listings come with a “bonus” for those who pre-order:

Reserve Dragon Ball: Raging Blast and receive the Raging Blast Special Pack. The special pack contains customized Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Gotenks in-game characters. And for the first time ever, you can immediately play as Super Saiyan 3 Broly, one of the unlockable characters in the game. Available online and in-store while supplies last.

Online Customers: A code and instructions to unlock the Raging Blast Special Pack will be emailed when the game releases.

Store / In-Store Pickup Customers: A pre-order card containing a code and instructions to unlock the Raging Blast Special Pack will be available at time of game pick-up.

This does not quite line up with the special “Limited Edition” version of the game spotted on Amazon Germany, which is set to include a special steelcase packaging, artbook, soundtrack, and more. The extra character costumes/attributes/somethings seem to be the only common factors.

All listings confirm a 10 November 2009 release date in North America.

CDJapan has listed a second Dragon Ball Kai Original Soundtrack volume due out in Japan 18 November 2009. Original Soundtrack 2 is set to contain “more than 30” BGM tracks in addition to the (presumably) same TV-sized versions of the opening and closing themes. Coming out under the catalog number of COCX-35922, it will retail for ¥2940.

November is set to be a big music release month with this new announcement, the Raging Blast opening theme song CD single, and the delayed Dragon Ball Kai Song Collection.

Despite the news about a possible “Limited Edition” version of Raging Blast coming with the game’s soundtrack, it seems like at least the game’s opening theme will be receiving a formal CD single release.

While listed as “UNTITLED” over on CDJapan, the Raging Blast opening theme (already known to be titled “Progression”) performed by Hironobu Kageyama will be coming out in Japan on 25 November 2009 for ¥1200 (LACM-4674). There are no additional details in terms of extra tracks, packaging, etc. as of yet.

Not sure how we missed this one! Some chapters from the Dragon Ball manga (specifically the Saiyan arc, or the beginning of what Viz would call “DBZ”) are coming to the manga/comic distribution service on the Sony PSP according to animeanime.jp and Anime News Network. A new “Comic” category will become available in the PlayStation Store for accommodate this new service. Right now this is exclusively for Japan.

Remember those mysterious individual disc releases of the first two Dragon Ball Z movies from the “remastered” steel book double feature we reported about over a month ago? Well, thankfully they have been canceled! Mania.com (which has absorbed Anime on DVD) has posted a list of FUNimation’s new title solicitations for November, as originally released by RightStuf. The two DVDs in question were amongst the releases on the list, however with a big “CANCELED” right next to them. In addition, their listings have been pulled from both Amazon and RightStuf. It appears that FUNimation agreed with my initial thoughts about these releases and decided it was a bad idea to flood the market with so many copies of these movies, especially if they have “Dragon Box” versions coming in the future.

While we definitely have finalized cover art and a track listing for the new Dragon Ball Kai Song Collection CD coming out, CDJapan is now listing a release date of 04 November 2009, rather than the originally-listed release date of 21 October 2009. Further backing this up is the listing on Columbia’s website with the new date. The Amazon Japan listing still has the original date, however.

Still looking forward to tearing it apart giving it a fair shake, regardless.

The German Amazon listing for a “Limited Edition” version of the upcoming PS3 & Xbox 360 fighting game Raging Blast notes that it will come in a special steelbook case, a 52-page art book, the soundtrack to the game on CD, and some sort of downloadable content that grants additional abilities:

Steelcase: Das Spiel kommt in einem Steelcase mit exklusivem Dragon Ball Design inklusive transparentem Schuber.
Artbook: 52 Seiten mit “Making-of”, exklusiven Konzeptzeichnungen, Kartendesigns und Artworks des Entwicklerstudios.
Original Soundtrack: CD mit dem original Soundtrack aus dem Spiel.
DLC: Einzigartige Kampfausrüstungen, die verschiedenen Dragon Ball Spielcharakteren zusätzliche Fähigkeiten verleihen.

There has been no official word from Namco-Bandai on a “Limited Edition” version of the game, though this seems to confirm it pretty solidly. We certainly hope the North American release also gets a similar treatment!

It is technically $10, but if you are interested in picking up Dragon Ball Origins at that price, you will also need to pick up another game from Wal-Mart’s list for a combined deal of 2-for-$20. There is some good stuff on the list, though, including Final Fantasy III, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, and two Dragon Quest spin-offs.
