Also I have to say this game is nowhere near as good to merit such an outlandish price. It's an ok shmup but not godly or overly special.

While the one you linked is insanely priced, too, at least it is new and sealed and contains the sega direct mousepad/soundtrack cd-case.

I'm pretty certain that neither will be sold at this price (at least not in 2006).

BD does fetch a decent amount secondhand these days (10000-15000 yen for the LE last time I looked), but that BIN price is absurd. I'd think differently if there was a bidding war and it went that high, but IMO it's just bad form to try and hawk it for that much right out the door.

Import mega-scalpers piss me off. :x

As I said before, a Naomi Border Down GD-Rom actually cost less.

I would but an extra copy of LE Under Defeat this time and see if I could exchange it for a Naomi GD-Rom version later...

Umm, are you forgetting about the added $500 cost of a Naomi GDROM setup to play that $150 GDROM? :wink:

This is why these Naomi DC ports will gain in value. You get the exact same output from a DC (hires), and its simple to setup on a jamma cab.

Well, I thought Naomi actually cost not much more than a DC nowadays. And it out put VGA, so won't need a Low Res RGB Monitor to hook up the system.

I bet that he bought up all of Play-Asia's stock and then jacked up the price for Ebay. I hate people who do that. :evil:
