PS2 Prince of Tennis Smash! 2 JPN
 PS2 Prince of Tennis Dendou Selection Reissues - New Imports
The chronology of a hot PS2 title in the Japanese marketplace:
1) Initial release where most of the marketing costs are expensed and the bulk of the profits are realized.
2) Six months to a year after the initial release, the game is put up for "The Best" collection where it is sold at roughly 1/2 the cost of the initial release. Marketing costs are nearly nil and profits are healthy.
3) Another six months to a year after "The Best" release, the game may be re-issued again under a company's own branded label. In this case, Konami's Dendou Selection where the game is sold at 1/4 the cost of the initial release.

ETC Rascal Hat JPN
 ETC Rascal Hat - Shipping October 2005
   Daniel Boone, often thought of as donning a coonskin cap, never wore one. He considered them uncivilized. Daniel wore a wide-brimmed hat made of felt during his lengthy hunting forays and treks into the wilds of Kentucky but the accounts of Boone wearing coonskin are bunk.
   We're guessing Daniel might have a change of heart if he ever saw Banpresto's Rascal Hat where a full-blown raccoon complete with felt paws and thick stubby tail sits on top of one's head. Although there are absolutely no social settings where the Rascal Hat would be acceptable, one may be able to befriend real raccoons in the wilderness when wearing one.
