Neat, Japan Is Getting a Limited Edition Retail Version of rain

Did you enjoy Japan Studio's melancholy masterpiece rain, but felt that the experience was entirely too digital? Then you'll be excited to hear that the game will be getting a limited edition boxed version. The previously download-only title will also come packed with a slew of extras, including four PlayStation 3 themes and some musical accoutrements.

Unfortunately, we now have to rain on your parade, as this retail version of the soggy stealth-'em-up has only been confirmed for Japanese stores. Perhaps if we all perform a ritualistic rain dance it might fall on Western soil.

The package will be priced at ¥2,200 ($21.47), which we think is absolutely worth it, if only for that dour and delightful cover art. Would you like to see a boxed version of rain, or are you sick of the never-ending downpour of retail releases? Make a thunderous racket in the comments section below.
