I sent Timezone mail about for an IIDX upgrade a couple of weeks back. Finally, I got word back:
This fucking sucks. But not much, since they're "willing" to go with Technika.
Hi Nayou,
This is in response to the inquiry you sent to us through our website regarding the Beatmania machines. We regret to inform you that unfortunately, our Beatmania IIDX unit performed very poorly (comparatively speaking) and hence we can’t justify bringing in a newer version of this type of game. We would rather invest in DJ Max units.
Hope to see you again in our stores. Thank you and have a nice day ahead!
Warm Regards,

..being an IIDX player in the philippines sure is hard... Then again, there are more "ways" to play beatmania than to play DJMax, if you know what I mean. :)
Anyways, Nedz Manangan's gotta be gay. Look at that ending remark. It's in fucking pink!
