OH - If you're at the con, stop by the Konami booth. They've got a working Duel Terminal, in English, giving out English Language DT cards.

An update:

Konami apparently brought their Duel Terminal with them to show it off to the American Markets (I can't wait to try it tomorrow!)

It does NOT contain any new cards, just reprints of some cards we already have.

You can all stop worrying and freaking out now (that includes me)
