In Europe, if you want that DLC, you will have to opt into buying the limited edition of the game. In America, we don’t have the choice of a limited edition, so if you buy a new version of Yakuza 4, you will get a one-time DLC code to use. You will get:
- Bonus costumes for Kazuma, Akiyama, Taiga, Tanimura, and Haruka
- Survival Mode
- Underground car park racing
- The much-loved underground Fighting Arena
If you pre-order the game via Gamestop you’ll receive a free dynamic Hostess theme. Not bad at all.

It sucks that I cannot get the special extra stuff (well I guess I could import if I really REALLY was desperate), but this works out fine too I guess.
Also, it should be noted that these codes expire eventually. The one that came with Yakuza 3 expires April 1st of this year, so I expect this to expire around the same time next year.
US never gets the fun stuff. 🙁 In a perfect world, I'd have a Bayonetta gun, a Vanquish figurine and loads and loads of mini art books.
I'm just glad they're bundling all the DLC together. I pre-ordered Yakuza 3 from EB Games to get the exclusive DLC (I hate EB/Gamestop), and it didn't even come with it.
If it's included in every North American copy, there's no way to lose out.
I think I'll get the special edition just for the box. Hellooo sexy.
SEGA Europe can go fuck themselves, I don't know why you are upset – the idea that I have to buy a special version of the game to take advantage of a download from the internet just seems like a shitty marketing gimmick to me.
