I can hardly wait. Hope they send out the preorders right away. I'll be sorta pissed if its available at EB for 2 weeks before I get my copy mailed to me. :( This game is gonna truly rock! I, for the life of me, cant figure out one thing tho, why does the game only cost $30? This is the only game I can think of that will come on the game market $10 less than all other games. Strange. Do they think people wont pay the usual $45 dollars cause of poor value? This seems like a very high quality game like any other decent recently released game. Any insight on this low price thing would be appreciated.

It is a bit strange, though I'm not complaining! :-) It might be because it's the companies first effort, and they want more people to try it out. Actually, the full price of most games I've seen is closer to $50... Half-Life at my local Software Etc. is going to be selling for $45, but they have Shogo there, and thats almost $60!!! I really dont know what determines prices... GPL was $50 at the same store, but I got it from EBWorld for $35 (including shipping). Brian Short

This is true.

Or else, it may be that only one licensing fee is a helluva lot cheaper than dozens, as in other games. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Peace, love and Monkeemobiles, Galley
