CAGiversary!
Sorry if this is a repost...I searched and found nothing. Anyway, I am long time viewer and first time poster. I was looking for Import Tuner Challenge (Tokyo Xtreme Racing in Japan) and it is listed for $29.99 pre-order at Best Buy. Every where else has it for $59.99.

BB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...400050016&type=product&tab=1&id=1155072369974

EB:

I don't know what the retail will be, but I think it will be $59.99. If anyone knows for sure please let me know.:cool:
 
Nice, looks good for a PM or something. I don't think BB will honor this though.

I wonder how bad the reviews will be.

EDIT: Quick search shows the MSRP MIGHT be $30, there seems to be some discrepency due to the lack luster of this title... Very small car list...

Heres the list from the Shuto boards...

This game has been in out in Japan for a few months.
I've played it a kiosk. It's not worth $30 IMHO.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']So basically, every car that was in 2 Fast 2 Furious and nothing else huh?[/QUOTE]

I like to call it:

2 Furious because the car is not 2 fast. (Just looks it...)
 
My dreams have been answered...

If anyone reads my posts, you know TXR is my favorite racing series. I think the Tokyo Highway night driving and the "health" meter during one-on-one races are a refreshing change from the typical timed lap races of other driving games.

Anyway, I had always thought this should be a budget title, since TDU was just released for $40 last week. I think that really cut into Import Tuner Challenge's potential sales, even for the die-hards like me. For instance, I held off buying TDU because I knew I only had time for one driving game this season - and it be one or the other, not both. And believe me, I was tempted to buy TDU just from all the positive buzz it's received.

So if this is true, then it was a good move by Ubisoft. And it just saved me $30. Thanks Ubi! And THANKS OP!

ugh not another NFSU wannabe. First it was Street Racing Syndicate and now this..the only thing im surprised in this list is the abscense of Honda.

believe me, if you play this game or other TXR games in the series, it's very different gameplay-wise from nfsu

after that post i actually went out and bought TXR Drift. I gotta say i have to agree with you now because this game feels really different and more on the technical side than the arcade NFSU style. Im liking this game alot.

yea, the TXR series from waht i've played is all about embarrassing your opponent by getting waaaay ahead of them
 
Boo-urns, I'm seeing the price as $59.99 now.

I too am a fan of this type of health-meter type battle system, though I totally suck at the Wangan arcade series.

Suck...Wang-an...hmm, I ought to rephrase that...
 
Bought this at BB.com after seeing the OP. It shipped this morning, and I was charged $29.99 + tax/ship for a total of $34.79.

Nice deal indeed, thanks a bunch to the OP. It seems like it's $59.99 pretty much everywhere. Half price? Good cheap-ass deal! Especially since I was going to buy the game anyway. I've liked all of the DC and PS2 releases in the Shutokou series, so here's hoping the 360 game keeps it up.
 
I was charged already, but mine hasn't shipped. Looks like they are honoring the price mistake for those who got in early (crosses fingers).

EDIT: Mine shipped yesterday! Thanks OP!!!
