I was wondering how many people on the forum has preordered Samurai Shodown 5 Special. I am in the process of ordering an English copy. I know that I will get one for sure since I am preordering about 2 months early. I think that everyone should as well because you might be left out in the cold like with the Metal Slug 5 release that sold out in about a month. This last Neo Geo games is supposed to be good so I bet it will sell out about as fast as Metal Slug 5.

I just put down the $368 for my English copy. Shawn should get my money order soon. Damn, I am going to have to wait 2 more months before I can get this game. I have never seen it in action and since it is a Japanese only release in the arcades, there is no way I can play it either! I sure hope that I did the right thing in getting this game. I thought that I should since it is the last Neo Geo home release. I was just about to get Samurai Shodown 5 before I heard that this game was coming out. I am sure glad that I waited. I just wish I knew more about the game. Oh well....

What are you worried about? Even if you don't like it/hate it, there's enough interest in the game that you could it sell for cost or close to cost. A neo game doesn't even have to be good to get jacked up in price. You just add some marketing hype to it like "limited", "last cart ever released", etc, etc and boom price jacked up down the road.

I thought you were never dealing with shawn again since you were moored on the 'isle. Or any of the umpteen previous drama fits.

I'm on the same boat. I think my breaking point may happen within the next month however.
