Ibara black label..

thank you lord \m/

i wonder what wil be included and at what price..

So going with the current black label theme, we can expect this version to be easier? Maybe include that rank meter we saw in the PS2 screens?

If anything I hope this means the price of the regular PCB drops more.

i have no idea what it will be like, this is the frst time i ever heard of it.

my source is a Japanese PCB seller (theyre taking preorders now, altho i dont know the final price), the exact date may vary but they never steered me wrong before.

really looking forward to this, i love exclusive collectables

Which seller?

thats a secret.

im actually not sure if preorders are official or if they are a friendly gesture from the seller since ive not heard anything about either game from cave or anyone else.

ed: just read my reply and wow that sounds fishy, so believe it all you want i just thought id spread some news that really surprised me anyways

im sure well hear more about it in the coming days.

Wow, wasn't expecting that. I think I'll wait until some concrete details appears regarding changes to the game and so on, before I commit. Unless the changes to the gameplay are drastic, one Ibara PCB is enough for me ^_-

Thanks for the heads up.

No word at Mak, and they're pretty quick. I would definitely be surprised at a Black Label of Ibara.

Why would a seller be secret? I mean, what is the point of that? It's not as if this is some insider wall street news.

WOW!

Already a Death label?

because im friendly with this peticular one and i wouldnt want to betray their trust incase they told me in confidence.

might sound ridiculous but im not friendly with that many japanese people

so id like to keep the ones i have.

take it like Icarus if youre suspicious

If so, we can expect an immediate boycott of this edition and angry letters to Cave from most of the Raizing fans.

Well i'm sure you've all (well those on the mailing list) recieved this e-mail from excellentcom this morning -

Ibara Black Label
CAVE latest shooting game
Price : USD2,144 each (Brand new box set)

IMPORTANT ~~
Only 100 pcs available, limited edition
Released after AOU Show (should be end of Feb 2006)
Once order fulfilled, no more new order will be added.
Order will be confirmed by payment deposit

I guess it's going to happen then. Too bad that i've decided to buy less pcbs next year as i've spent a bloody fortune in 2005.

sven666 · Post by **sven666** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:54 am

got this today frommy "source"

OP price is @JPY248,000.- Only 100 pcs will be release.
Our price is JPY233,000.-

hehe sweet i get a 15K discount

i think i will buy one actually.. anyone else up for it right of the bat and want to save $200 compared to excellent prices let me know via PM (serious inquieries only please!)

Do we have to guess which of the half-a-dozen sellers that ship overseas this is then

Do they do Paypal and mark values down anyway?

guess away buddy, they dont ship overseas normally and they dont do paypal, they mark the package as i tell them to.

There's no way I can afford the Black Label version, not so soon after Christmas and everything else afterwards. -_-
Fingers crossed that one pops up for cheap.

zlk · Post by **zlk** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 2:17 pm

I see the e-mail with my own eyes about there only being 100 made, but I don't believe it. There are probably at least 10 people on this board alone that will pre-order it immediately, maybe more. Why would cave release something very rare and charge less than the original pcb? It doesn't make much sense to me. The "only 100 are made" seems like a marketing ploy in my opinion.

I've been wondering the same thing. Is it a Cave marketing ploy or a distributor marketing ploy? If this is official word from cave, then maybe this would confirm DDPDOJ black label really did only have 100 pieces as well?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 8:03 pm

Well, Excellentcom just emailed me, so if you want one, just order from them. They say only 100 as well... I don't buy it though.

Could it be that they can only get 100, not that there will be only 100 made? That's what the "100pcs available" suggests to me, atleast.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 9:21 pm

That I could believe. Doesn't seem cost effective to print 100 PCBs.

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 9:43 pm

It's not hard to believe at all. Cave/AMI doesn't have to enter a whole new production for the PCB. Just a ROM change. As for this number being used as a marketing ploy....operators (the primary consumer) do not have concerns about rarity.
