You can say all you like that Microsoft asked them to make it and therefor it was no risk, but it was. There was a considerable amount of production time wrapped up in this game that would be lost if it didn't sell well, just to start with. Time that could have been used on other games. But more than that, even if this was funded my MS, you think Microsoft would look very kindly on them in the future if this totaly bombed?And yes, it's hard to get Steel Batallion now... All of the stores around here got 1-4 of them in, and they were mostly all preorders at that. I've never actualy seen one just sitting in a store, waiting to be purchased. Only behind the counter with the reserve sticker on it. I don't think the second run will be the last though, for sure... it depends on how big it is, and how many sell... If they do produce a second one (fingers crossed), they will undoubtably produce at least one more small run of the first game, or offer a limited amount of the second game that also has the controller. They are sorta shooting themselves in the foot if they don't do that. I personaly wouldn't order one online... Not that I have anything against online ordering, far from it, but the shipping is insane on it... generaly 20-30 dollars even for the lowest shipping option the place you are ordering it from offers, because of its bulk. It comes in a box only slightly smaller than a computer box.</blockquote>
