There is a strong shmup community in the US that buy pretty much anything and the main thing that stops casual buyers from getting on board is the prices at launch. (edit: just looked at the comments at the PS Blog and I was right on the money, biggest gripe right now is price, one guy even went as far as calling it a CASUAL game, rolf, wtf, it's so far from that it's not even funny, whadda idiot)

Speaking of which....







Seems like my procrastination paid off, plus when they had the sale, I didn't have any money, so off to Amazon now to pre-order my copy at the price I was looking for.
