Isn't it cheaper using Newegg's $10 promotion? Just checked my Newegg order status, I got it for $29.99...

It's still listed at 39.99 on both Amazon and Newegg, so as of right now 29.99 is a better price (I have it preordered at that price too, from Newegg with the promo code). Looking forward to this game, we're lucky to have it released in North America!!!

Any new promos to get $10 off? I finally got word that is new job is a go and I had to hold off until I knew if was finalized before doing a pre-order for this. And as I see the offer is now expired.

So I'd appreciate any help otherwise I'll be waiting for an eventual discount (sadly, as I'd like to support the release) but I'm not paying $40 for a game I already own on the DC already just to have it on PS3, $30 yes, full price no.

MSRP is $30 but it was only announced a day or so ago. Give it a few days and New Egg and Amazon will adjust the price accordingly.

Crazy, I used to own the DC deluxe version that went for $150-200 on Ebay. Im amazed this got localized!

The price has been updated on Amazon to 29.99.

Thanks Thrinn! Updated OP thread title with new price (Amazon only right now, Newegg is still 39.99) and added screenshots of Under Defeat HD as well. Got this preordered from NewEgg for $30 anyway with a $10 off code, I doubt Newegg will bump it lower, but thats OK. I really want to support RSG on this release, and $30 is a great price for this game!

I've never played this. Just seems like an $8 psn title. What makes it different from other shoot em ups?

The retail package also includes an art book, soundtrack, and all the DLC produced since the game's Japanese release. It's going to be a $30 PSN title, too.

What's special about the game itself tho?

Will this be something you can turn a profit on then?

Unlikely. It looks like the art book is going to be a pamphlet inside the regular PS3 case along with the soundtrack. It's nice they are including these items for the price, but it's hardly an elaborate collector's edition.

The art book will be digital... Whatever that means?

If it's anything like what Raiden IV did then it could just be a link to a .pdf file for you to download.

I think chunlirocks answered your question quite well. However, even though shmups in North America may drop low in price at some point (like Akai Katana), they sometimes come way back up. Raiden Fighters Aces and Raiden IV are a few great examples; I bought these as low as $12.50, but both are way back up on Ebay (brand new sealed). No way to know about Under Defeat, but most people buy it to support he developers and enjoy the game. Maybe an extra copy or two for collectability doesn't hurt.

And any of the DC shmups, kept their price or went way up, even 2nd tier stuff like Trizeal, Border Down is still fairly expensive (last time I checked) and some of the CPS2 shmups from Capcom go for crazy prices as well.

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.

$30 is a fantastic price for this game. Speaking of which, Newegg just lowered their price to 29.99 as well, will update OP. Looking forward to this highly rated shmup in N.A.! (Now where is the 360 version?!?! )

Newegg lowered price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...defeat&x=0&y=0

Anybody know if this means that Newegg will drop the price for previously made pre-orders? I pre-ordered it when it was $39.99.

Generally you need to cancel and reorder since NewEgg doesn't seem to automatically update their pricing on existing orders.

I've been waiting for Newegg to adjust their price in order to avoid Amazon's taxation.

Thanks OP. In 4 one

As bojay1997 said, I think you need to cancel and preorder. See this link:

EDIT: LordVila stated that NewEgg WILL adjust your price according to their "Low Price Guarantee", so you should be OK. I think they should have clarified this in the FAQ about "price guarantee", its a little confusing.
