The shmups sales/deals thread

Post by Oniros »

For the most up to date deals, please look at the latest post in the thread.

As we all know, ours is a rather expensive hobby to have (specially if you're into PCB collecting). So I thought it might be helpful to have a thread to post deals related to shmups. Sticks, consoles, monitors, and other related items are welcome too. As rare as these deals might be, saving a couple bucks is always welcome. To start, I'll post some of the stuff I have come across in the past days. All prices are in USD.

The OP isn't selling anything, they're linking to sites having sales.

What do you guys think about blast factor / everyday shooter? They seem pretty typical dual-stick shooters but do they atleast compare favorably to Stardust HD?

Some of you probably already saw, but R-Type I and II are in the latest Humble Mobile Bundle.

EDIT: And Aqua Kitty is a bit cheaper than usual on the Humble Store.

The deal was still active when the user posted about it. The rebate has expired since.

Not listed above, but noticed it while browsing -- DDP SDJ Platinum Edition for U$32.99. Doesn't look like a sale price, but seems like a good deal. Is it worth grabbing at this price?

Ah, I see. Must've been really close considering less than 24 hours difference!

Pfft....Vattle Giuce. I sold Skykid a copy in about that condition for $20.

The ZAS cart....well....that one might have a point.

I totally jumped on Caladrius and Deathsmiles IIX, however.
