Steel Battalion- where can I buy it?

I am trying to buy the Steel Battalion Line of COntact game + controller but I cannot find anyone that sells it. Does anyone know where I can buy it?

If you're anywhere near Cardiff, the CEX by Central Station has a 2nd hand one in the window

I had the same problem a few weeks back. I spoke to and emailed Game they replied that they no longer take orders as it is no longer manufactured, and a central database search returned no UK stores having one in stock. I doubt this has changed. Gamestation couldn't even be bothered to do a search for me. I eventually got a returned one from HMV Manchester by chance (with 10% discount as it wasn't first hand).

If you ask the chain stores (like HMV) they can do a central stock search. They would usually transfer it free of charge to your local store, depending on how generous they're feeling. Otherwise eBay is your best bet, but when I checked a few weeks back they were going for £175-200 (in good condition), so make sure you've tried all other options first..

Someone at my work was in a Dabs.com warehouse and spied they had two, so bought one.

The moral of the story is try dabs.

wwww.playasia.com have NTSC ones for £110: don't know what the shipping will be (prob about £20-30 so will be roughly what the RRP is over here).
