Amazon have a few left.

> what's a steel battalion? obviously something to do with tanks
It's a game developed by Capcom where the player takes control of a huge mech type thing, think of the ones in Mechassault but better, then give the graphics an anime/dark techno look, and the perspective is always from the cockpit of the mech. The highlight is the massive controller that comes with it and the pedals, plus the massive box it all comes in. Only 1500 were made for the UK and it looks like Amazon has gotten hold of some right now at http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ ASIN/B000083XHM/ref=sr_aps_videogames_1_1/ 202-2044896-6585450
They already fetch a high price on eBay and these that Amazon have may be the last ones available at retail, ever! Capcom confirms they will not be reissuing the controller EVER!
A sequel, lines of contact, is due next year and will include online play but will only be for those with the original game. Others can buy it, but they won't have the controller so it will be an expensive coaster...
