I just snagged a copy. 19.99 + free shipping is a steal.

More the price it really should be proper for a shump. If only I had held out.
That said, damn fine shump. Probably one of my favorites of the genre.

Cool, think I'll take advantage of this. Been wanting to get this, but felt $40 was a bit high.

Amazon is actually 60 cents cheaper (3rd party but fulfilled by Amazon) http://www.amazon.co...Katana Xbox 360, but the shipping aint free, so Newegg FTW!!

Damn, no longer available. I'll have them e-mail once they get them back in stock. Hopefully, it'll still be $20.

So glad this is sold out. My pocketbook is getting tight and I've been waiting for this one to drop to sub $20 for a while. Great find OP.

Just watched a couple of gameplay videos and I gotta say this game would drive me nuts with all the stuff happening onscreen. Looks insanely fun, though. The only game I have right now with similar gameplay is Deathsmiles. I'll pick this up next time it goes on sale... Hopefully!

Also glad it's gone I can really wait for this to go cheaper too.

:o Deathsmiles is all I need for this genre. For some reason my eyes burn after I play that.. then I get real sleepy.

Waiting for $15 . I've hardly even played Dodonpachi Resurrection and Espgaluda II.

I smell an impending price war! Nice find. Isomer Games and Most Wanted got into a price war over the Capcom Digital Collection recently. Let's hope for a repeat.

o.o; And another thing about Deathsmiles, the Limited Edition usually goes on sale regularly on Newegg or Amazon for $14.99 with the soundtrack CD and faceplate.

No word yet on a 360 version unfortunately, but I'll take the game on whatever formats they release it on!! Great news for shmup fans.

May as well let Under Defeat hit $20 too.
Under Defeat is PS3 only in the US, so it will have a smaller print.

Akai Katana was exclusive to the 360 in the US and that did little to stop it from hitting $20. Does Sony allow publishers to press fewer copies of games than Microsoft does?

Xbox 360 games requires a minim print of 50,000. Sony doesn't.
