I'm reliably informed that there are only 1400 of these entering the country, and nearly 400 are going to 'trade' sources, leaving just over 1000 for retail to the public!

Does anyone think that'll be enough???

Are M$ and Capcom mental?

Anyone got a firm pre-order?

Well most of the time we get the shit end of the stick,oh well :rolleyes:
I don't think is enough,very tight numbers.
But £130 is a turn off,it looks brill as well.

I had a look-see at one in GAME today, and it is really nice!
They comein their own shipping box (Not the green one) a brown Capcom shipping box over the outside, with Steel Battalion on it! And just when you're thinking 'Fuck thats a big box' you open it up and it is absolutely full of the SB Ammo box!
This thing is huge!!!!
The controller is really nice, and expensive feeling. The pedals are super heavy, and must weigh 3kilos!!!!! They even have metal covers on the actual pedal bits!

Its just sooooooo nice!
The game had better be as good as the controller!

Anyone know if M$ have confirmed any other games to use it??

Funnily enough, I was in an Import VG store the other day and they had a US version of SB, and they wanted £300 for it!!!!

How much do you think the PAL version will be going for on Ebay next week?
