So farBandai Namco(the publisher internationally) doesn’t have a public page about details for their own discount, but since they retweeted FromSoftware we can assume it’s going to be about the same.
FromSoftware’s press release (as they are the publisher in Japan) announced the discount to be a fantastic 50% off (2150 yen), and that they will discontinue the Japanese version ofDark Souls Prepare to Die Editionas of May5th at 8pm JST.
This is good news for PC fans, since many felt the PC graphics upgrade was not significant enough to warrant full price. There are no known discounts for PS3 or Xbox owners since the game is on a completely different platform.
