   > Pier Solar, a *completely new* game is only $35...even with the CD   
   > soundtrack. This is why I sort of balk at a $48 translation job.   
      
   Another reason:   
      
   "The third run has also received some critics for fixing those issues of   
   the first two runs; some customers were upset to have received an   
   "inferior" version although they, as early buyers, helped making further   
   production runs possible to begin with. Also some say that the third   
   production run, being as big as the first and second runs combined, was   
   made to get collectors to buy Beggar Prince again even though they   
   already own one of the earlier versions. This rumor is based on both the   
   number of copies produced for the third production run and by the fact   
   that customers of the old version have no other way of getting at least   
   the new cover than to order a second copy of Beggar Prince."   
      
   See, I have the original version of Beggar Prince, with the horrible   
   artwork and all the glitches that don't allow me to play it on my   
   Genesis/32X/Sega CD combo. As far as I know, the SF Team will not   
   exchange these out, so I'm just sort of fucked.   
      
   "But for the first two runs, due to the manner in which the game's save   
   function is programmed, it is impossible to save on systems connected to   
   the 32X or hybrid CD systems such as the Multi-Mega/CDX and Wondermega.   
   Playing the game with a Sega Mega-CD/Sega CD attached to the Mega   
   Drive/Genesis works with the second CD model. On a European Multi-Mega,   
   the game resets itself after the introduction scenes, making it unplayable."   
      
   Now they want another $48 for a game that may or may not have these same   
   issues...of which, they'll do another run and fix them, and you'll have   
   to buy another copy. It just reek of amateurism....of which they'd like   
   money for.
