Really really want this.  Any way for me to get it now?

I can use it as my guys are getting their tails kicked lately.

Only if you can find someone with an extra pre-order card laying around and hasn't been used.

Honestly though, keep playing you'll get better abilities through accessories soon such as Absorbing Damage/Magic, Counters. So you'll come across a great combinations of things later, don't worry much about weapon guard though it's nice.

*cough* Ebay *cough, cough*  :)

That's where I got mine.  I was about 50% complete when I went online and got mine.  It made things reeeeeally nice.  I bought the game a year after it came out, so I didn't get it upon release.  But you can get good accessories and equip well as the game goes on.

Have fun!

You can actually get it for free. Just make a Japanese gamertag (Google it if you don't know how) and you can download the bonus pack with Weapon Guard 2 for free from the Japanese marketplace. After you make your tag, just go to the place where you would normally download DLC for Lost Odyssey, and it'll be there. Enough things will be in English so that you can find it, don't worry. Once you download it, switch back to you normal tag, boot up the game, and boom, there it will be. I did this myself, and can vouch 100% that it works.

You know, I read about how to do that. Was afraid of messing it all up as I have had gamertag issues in the past and just went the aforementioned route. Glad to hear a success story, though. Good on ya, Homestyles! :) How do you like LO?

I totally recommend making a Japanese gamertag. Use this guide: http://www.destructoid.com/eternal-sonata-demo-hits-japanese-xbl-make-your-japanese-account-now--31512.phtml And you can grab the Bayonetta demo while you're at it too. =)
