I ned to open a Mutual Fund so that I can offord it by 2006:D

Definitely looks sweet, and I would LOVE to play it. Maybe if I'm lucky Blockbuster will rent it for like $25 of something.

Tekki is the Japanese name for Steel Battalion.

I put my head in shame. My friend has pre-ordered that and I think its just a waste of money. I can do many things with $200.;):D

Maybe if it doesnt sell well, they will make an arcade version. Or at least somebody else will make a similar arcade game...with a simpler controller...

No way in hell Im buying it...thats for sure.

It's for the hardcore fans, not the casual videogame players. It will sell quite well to the audience that it is directed towards.

I'm thinking that there is a high mark-up on the controller portion of this game. They're probably making over a 50% profit I would hope.

Well... I think the game is $50 and the controller is $150, so the controller is a huge chunk of the overall price.

I debated getting the import version back in September... but it would've ran me $300+ due to shipping. I salute you Brian for your Jou da vive (hope I didn't f--- that up) Apparently the game is only shipping to pre-orders and Capcom plans to only make 20,000. I heard the Japanese version has already been heavily discounted in Japan, so maybe I can drum that one up on the cheap.....
