eBay usually also has a copy or two going for 30-40 bucks.

Now I am waiting for the 3rd pack to get a discount.

I'll wait for the European version (if it has a Hz selector). The price will be 14.95€

Is Sengoku Ace by itself worth the price? I already have Blaede.

Sounds like I need to get a Japanese PS2. Can anyone recommend a good place to snag one?

I wouldn't pay $40 for Ace personally.

Thanks, Cthulhu. I haven't heard Ace discussed much around here. Just a few people saying that its a bit so so.

I got mine used through EBay for a decent price from a US seller. You might try that route.

You're welcome.

I actually bought the pack just for Ace (I already have Blaede for the Saturn too), and I don't think it was really worth it. Ace is a decent game, but as one of Psikyo's earliest efforts, it lacks a lot of the polish their later games have. I like having it for the Japanese theme, but Blaede is unquestionably the star of the pack.

Put your $40 towards Mushihime-sama.

It plays a lot like Gunbird (then again, so do a lot of Psikyo's early stuff)...set-amount point items, auto power down, long charge time on charge shots, etc. If you're not averse to MAME you can try it on there and see what you think.

i'll defnately be waiting for the pal release as it looks to have a hz selector and tate mode, as well as being cheap as chips. i wish they'd hurry up and get it distributed though. according to 505 it's already out (and they apparently never reply to emails) but it's nowhere to be seen in the uk or in online stores.

I got my Japanese PSTwo from playasia.com. They run for about $220, which I think is pretty reasonable for NIB.
