Most expensive new release LE for years???

[Soundwave]

So has Otomedius Gorgeous plumped the crown for most expensive Limited Edition ever???

I mean £265 plus delivery from Play-Asia is just plain stupid...

Granted it comes with an awesome arcade stick but come one £265????

I remember when the pre-orders were first announced & it was about £130ish & I thought that was kinda excessive then but now thats just plain ridiculous...it's about the price of an import PS3 now

Just goes to show how bad the exchange rate has really got lately.

So anyone ordered it & wishing they hadnt now??

Or even better anyone know of a game that cost more on release??

That is an ugly bastard of an arcade stick.

I actually like that stick.

But then I am a sucker for Arcade Sticks

Just ordered the game on its own myself but at the start of last year I bought the Idolmaster LE and it was, IIRC, over or close to ?200. That's my most expensive anyway

I went for the standard one myself as well...I really couldnt justify the cost for the stick as well...bloody glad I didnt go for it now.

Think my most expensive purchase was for Jpn Time Crisis on the PS1 with the black G-con 45 which IIRC was about £90 delivered from Skill Academy

I reckon it would have been about ?170 under the old exchange rate. That's still bloody expensive though.

If only they'd make a PAL version.

you could buy steel battalion for that

Dayum, I didn't even notice first time but it's not even a 6/8 button layout! Fair enough it's meant for shooters, but a couple of extra buttons for fighters would've been nice...

Doesnt that stick have a touch screen, which the game utilizes? But true, £265 plus del and customs/duty is pretty excessive. Have heard the game's tosh anyways!
