Just unlocked mine, too. Sheesh.

If you are strapped for cash the HK store apparently is cheaper than the JP one.
Just remember all DLC needs to be obtained from said store region though.
Game updates can be done from any account.
I think he's busy trying to find out what the game is like post-ending-A
oh damn. It's not on the store yet right? Also, I see the OP mentions buying store cards, but would a CC work as well, or is that not recommended?

It depends if the HK store allows "Foreign" CCs or not. Main reason why people buy cards is usually due to stupid payment restrictions like that.
Not yet. I don't know if CC works well or not, but I'd prefer not to use my CC on PSN anyway. I bought a HK PSN code from Play-asia, it costs $70USD for $500HKD (it was on sale for $66 this morning when I bought it).
The HK PSN store may update in 15 mins, or it may update in a few hours.

It'll be a shortish single run time because every Platinum game that isn't built on a Kamiya lead budget is. I seriously doubt Square Enix has thrown insane amounts of money behind the spiritual successor to a niche, cult classic no matter how much buzz it's getting now. Platinum too are renowned for being able to deliver decent-to-high quality projects on a strict production timeline and budget. It seems pretty evident to me that Automata is exactly that; Platinum excelling at what they do best in action, wrapped in a narrative heavy action RPG skin made on a sensible budget.
And that's fine. That's okay. Because quality > quantity.
Additionally, despite what others are saying, I implore people unfamiliar with Taro's work to not buy too heavily into the "multiple endings" shtick to the point of believing it constitutes as entirely new adventures. The varied endings are consistently very important to his titles and in that respect yes, you will need to play multiple times to observe narrative and context changes to get the bigger picture (unless Automata is a drastic change from this). In that respect indeed a single playthrough is not the entire game and thus the total true play time will be greater. That being said, in pretty much every one of his games an overwhelming majority of the playable content remains the same. Changes are mainly delegated to cutscenes, dialogue, and contextual themes. Unless a different approach has been taken to Automata, expect to run the same dungeons, fight the same groups, and conquer the same bosses.

Actually, can I use Paypal on HK store?
That will make this a lot easier, plus I won't have loose change.
Yeah, that's fine, but the reason why I was reserving judgement is because Drakengard 3's separate endings had different/modified levels, new/modified boss fights, new enemies, and spanned different lengths of time/focused on different things, and that was his most recent title. Your description is very true if we're just going by Nier 1. Obviously, there was some reused content and bosses in D3 but it wasn't even close to being the same progression.
I still have yet to hear about how this game handles its 'routes.'

Totally agree, and yeah, without knowing how exactly the routes are structure it's hard to say just what constitutes as new content towards different endings.
I just want to dampen expectations towards people who haven't been exposed to Taro's work before. GAF also seem to go through this song and dance with almost every Platinum game too. Rule of Platinum; if it's not a Kamiya game, it's probably relatively short in length, but you'll play it a hundred times because it's fucking awesome.

Wait a little while, the HK team are truely incompetent, but not this bad surely...
@BBPunjabi816 how did you get that link
With the speed this is downloading at, I'll be lucky to play anything tonight. It's 48.20 GB total and playable at 10.36 GB, but PSN is going so slow right now for me.
Yes!
Yes!
This was the game's true end.

Yeah this seems more likely. Like a previous poster said it looks like a separate localization thing.
We hope. xD

Is that common in the HK store?
GwyndolinCinder

Is what common? To have multiple versions? Yes, most games do.
They are pretty useless in general though.

It's common that SIE localize the third-party Japanese game to Chinese/Korean.
Usually it would release much earlier than western ,but this game is an exception
But 4/27 is a bit late, pirate might come first and crush market

You want (English, Japanese), the full game will include all languages localized at the time.
