While this type of thread has been done before, I thought this was interesting because the game involved is one that I didn't even know existed. I absolutely adore Section Z, both the arcade and NES versions (I don't understand why more people don't love the NES version, actually. It's one of the deepest shmups on the system).

But I think it's JUUUUUUUUUUUST a little overpriced. LOL

It's currently out of stock. I guess some peoplle didn't balk at the insanity that is the asking price.

Makes emulation look all the better...

That has to be an error.

Capcom does that with all of the games that go out of stock for some reason. They are all suddenly $995.00.

That is pretty cool to see Section Z for a PDA. I wonder if I could find the real game for a little cheaper :)

It's so they can still keep it on their system or something. It's done on purpose when a game sells out. It's like a placeholder in other words.

Still, you get stupid dumb people putting it for sale on eBay and linking to the page saying "Look, it is rare, see the price Capcom sells it for"...
