Whats different in the black label version?

It's more "balanced".... (minor tweaks n gameplay)

That $450 one is at coinopexpress, right? Yeah, that's the Chinese version (Not that I know it's any different from the JP version)
Otherwise, its going price in Japan still runs about $1000. I'm sure it will drop. How low is what I'm sure of. After all, the OG DDP runs a good $320.

Actually, I saw the it at Fillmore's site. It's the Japanese version, too.

Just making sure... but OG=original? If so, I'm sorta surprised that DDP costs so much still... Darn.

I wish there was more info on that PS2 port. I hope Arika gets cracking and brings it out by year's end.

I'm wondering if the PS2 Dai-ou-Jou will include Black Label.

Still $1000 for the JAMMA board? Damn... I wish I had a spare grand.

So is this black label version eventually going to replace the original version? Or will this be all there ever is of it? That'd be odd.

Yes.

Why the hell they would be so damn stingy with the new version is beyond me.

Hmmm $1500 for the pcb or $60 for the PS2 version. I can't dicide.

I really don't think you understand the whole scenario, smart-ass.

From an economical view, I have no clue, either. But since
this is the last DoDonPachi game in the series

I speculate Cave wanted to fine-tune the game for their
fans. Maybe fans were distressed that they were unable to
continue from the second loop. Or that they wanted to keep
the lives they had from the first loop when going into the
second. Maybe Cave became aware of these annoyances and
fixed them in the Black Label version.

I hope the developers at Cave address this in their next
batch of letters in their Mail&Letter section of their
web site.

You're about right with this.

It's lame as fuck that only 100 Black Label boards exist.
