This news is nothing short of exciting for fans of the Project Diva series. It seems that previous rumors of Project Diva Arcade machines being imported to the U.S. are true. An announcement by ROUND 1 tells us that SEGA will be testing units at the location. The location is Puente Hills, California, United States.

The cost per play will be 4 credits, or $1 USD per play. According to an image taken by a fan on twitter, the location will be testing the units until March 18th. Any fans located in Southern California may not want to miss out on this opportunity. I suspect that we may have a few fans travel even further just to play these machines.

EDITED 2/19/2013: Crypton has mentioned that more test locations will be announced soon. [Source]

Below is an image of the machines being set up earlier today.

The website has a link to preorder the album on Amazon, but it does not yet offer much info on the contents of the CD itself. Expect the information to be updated over time. The album is set to be released on May 15th. Enjoy the PV and the rest of the article in the full story. Lastly, Happy Valentine’s Day! Continue reading »
