While browsing around eBay, I noticed that the US version normally sells for between $20 and $30, while the Japanese import version normally sells for around $50.00. :hmm: Why is this?

B/c the retail price of the US version was like $20, and the retail of the JPN version was $60. Shooters can still sell well in Japan, and are generally duds in the states.
This was actually a smart move. The game probalby made it's money back (or close to it) in the arcades. Then it went on sale in japan, and sold pretty well. At this point, they're way up, and wanted to make good sales on the DC in the US so just sold it for $20.
