why doesnt playmore release limited editions?

5thlion5thlion · May 30, 2003

that would be kool ... you know like konami an capcom be doin just to name a few example the limited edition of zoe 2 came with alot of goodys.matrimelle should've been realeased in a limited set maybe with a figure with a art book wouldve been nice. i wonder why playmore has yet to do this?

Red_venom · May 30, 2003

Probably because only a few hundred of a given cart is produced(With only the really big titles produced in bigger quantities). Doesn't really make sense to have 400 carts made, 100 of which being limited edition. IMO. 400 is pretty limited edition as it is. Stickers and stuff would be cool to include though.

And hike the price up even more for the LE version? The carts are already in limited quanities, how many would they make LE? I also wonder how much it really does cost for Playmore to produce one cart?

$325 launch price for regular version = eek! eek! eek! price for LE.

Don't get me wrong, i love LE editions, but for Neo Geo i think it's a little excessive.

They're pretty limited anyway, yknow?

Every Neo Geo release IS a Limited Edition by itself.

Period. wink

MVS=Regular Version
Homecart=LE

it's probably because the carts costs are high enough as it is even though the prices for computer chips are obviously not that high. I mean you can get 500 mb of ram for about 75 dollars. and neo's have 1000? and cost 300? think about it. I'm sticking with mvs

You actually want this stuff to get more expensive loco

Its not RAM, they use ROMs which they flash the game on to, which is more money and faster. Its the kind of stuff they use in processor caches, which is more expensive then the RAM chips.

Memory Heirarchy:
Cache
Main Memory
Storage (Hard disk)
Secondary Storage (Floppy, CDs)

The higher up on the heirarchy, the more money it is.

plus it's not megabytes, it's megabits they're working with. ex: KOF 2000 is about 88.1 MB of ram. Not only that, but it's not RAM, it's ROM.

OLD, ARCHAIC ROM to be more specific.

HPMAN · May 30, 2003

Old, archaic, and most certainly CHEAP

All depends on production #s anyway.

Well, they don't flash anything, ROMs (MASK ROMs to be specific) are produced with data already inside them.
Wouldn't be called ROM otherwise. :rolleyes:

And it's far from processor cache memory, only standard, slow memories here, nothing expensive...

i still think it woulve been kool like for instance if kof 04 comes out which will be theyre 10 year anniversay i think? it should be realeased in gold with a brief history manual an the like man that would be kool

OK, what you want is cool... I can't doubt that, but really... you should just be thankful if they bring out KOF2K4 at all wink

yeah your right about that

eight one · May 30, 2003

I could see it now...

A Metal Slug LE....for about $4000(?)

Get the fuck outta here. :rolleyes:

5thlion5thlion · May 30, 2003

ha that would be ridiculos .they can sell it for normal price but just throw in some extras an stuff ya know

waku7 · May 31, 2003

A great idea would be a limited edition of a neo geo Jap or Us console with Samurai Spirits 5 or Metal Slug 5...

$hockwave · May 31, 2003

i do not see a use for limited editions since they are limited to 400 and just saying limited on the insert is pointless if you are goin to buy it anyway.now back to the pointlessnes look at how limited edition versions of say army of darkness there are on dvd can't think of the number but atleast 5 and that is alot of versions if anything playmore/snk need to sell some snap-lock cases/aes joysticks or even controllers than to release a limited edition version of say snk vs. capcom chaos.

why doesnt playmore release limited editions?
