Spikeout Battle Street XB - very, very limited run?
http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox/95...tle-Street/p3/
"Collector’s item?
Apparently SpikeOut: Battle Street will be released in very limited quantities and will be exclusively available via EBGames. We’ve heard that most stores will only receive TWO copies which will immediately make the game a collector’s item. The total run of the game will only be approximately 3,600 copies. Sega lovers better be on the lookout come March 29th or you might be S.O.L."
3600 copy print run?

I can't see them only printing 3,600, I think they are missing a couple zero's atleast.
They pulled this same crap with Dragon Ball Z Budokai as well, anyone remember that?
An EB associate told me the game was getting a very limited print run, that only EB would be getting it, and it would only recieve the amount that was pre-ordered. Hell, they even had a sign stating this that was sent out by Bandai themselves.
...now it's a Greatest Hits title.
I'm calling BS for the time being. But still pre-ordering JUST IN CASE.
No kidding. That would completely ruin the potential of this game. If it's not bullshit, it's a bullshit decision.Originally Posted by norkusa
The math per store doesent even add up. EB opened 100 locations in the 1st quarter of 2004, and projected opening 400 NEW locations by the end of the year.

That would account for 8000 copies alone. Let's say only 50% of the NEW stores got copies, that's still 4000. And unrealistic.
Definitely not an accurate number.
i guess for $30 at the fact that i do want the game its worth the hassle of the preorder. However i am waving my bullshit flag as well.
Eyes - Pete and Pete, Bullet Ballet
Ears - Exploding Hearts , Tattle Tales
Hands - Neutopia II, NBA Live 05
i really dont want to spend $30 on something im not gonna play and would def. pick this up if i knew this # was true....but, like everyone else said and with the points about live support and what not, im gonna say bullshit too

Low press run or not, I'm glad I got alerted to this. Combining my favorite genre with a publisher that I trust with 99% of their games, and I finally have something to spend some of my EB credit on!
I'll be preordering this one very soon!

I don't even have an Xbox and I pre-ordered it.
You don't have to be smart, you don't have to have all the facts, you just have to be confident.
well, i didnt think i would, but i broke down and ordered it.....maybe it will be worth something and maybe some people will actually open it up and play on live with it

Ouch, looks like this is a busy month for Xbox releases, I have enough EB store credit to buy Super Monkey Ball Delux, Mega Man x Ann, and Woorms Forts, which of the above 3 would be most available? I plan to let go one game and make room for SpikeOut in this case then.
im sure you'll be able to find monkey ball well after its release
who knows about spikeout though
id drop monkey ball and pick up spikeout

Well, it certainly doesn't look like it's going to be an EB Games exclusive;

Plus, estarland.com has it for $2.00 cheaper than EB Games does.
I think I'll pick this up anyway, since I really like games styled after Final Fight, Double Dragon and Streets Of Rage.

...and Sam Goody has it listed for $26.99:

Doesn't look like this game is going to be as rare as it's hyped to be but I guess that is a good thing if I expect to play with anyone on Live. It looks pretty fun though, so I'll definitely be picking up a copy anyway.
Oh, I'm getting all over this not because of the limited number of copies, but because I love Beat 'em ups.
Even very crappy ones. I even liked Fighting Force
Well even if it's not a rare game, I still preordered it
It's hopefully a great game.
