Bayonetta will be out in America on January 5th

Bayonetta's release in Japan might have a few people itching to order and shell out for shipping and handling, but maybe it'd be a better idea to sit tight and wait until January 5th, which just happens to be the game's NA release date.

PLAY READ WRITE got it's hands on the E3 build of Bayonetta back at... ummm, E3 (weird how that works). While there's been lots of talk about the discrepencies between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, one thing is for sure: Platinum Games knows how to build a beat-em-up. Either way, if you enjoy Devil May Cry, you can be sure you'll get a kick out of Bayonetta.

While the gameplay is really the star here, beware. With the game out in Japan and region-free copies available on the PS3, Bayonetta can be spoiled, so be mindful of what you click on!
