Capcom is aware of the shortage and I would be stunned if they do not reissue/reprint/whatever the game at some point between now and when the sequel is supposed to hit.
I would guess it will be months before a new supply hits though and the price is only going to go up for now.
Anyone know a place with the US version in stock?
Best I have seen is Ebay where new copies are about $35 and $6 shipping. Trying to beat that.
There are a few Gamestops that still have them stocked in the Houston area (where I am), according to their online inventory, but none are within 30...
