Saw it today at EB at the Plymouting Meeting mall in PA, it's for the "new" version but I got the last one so I had to settle for the display copy.

I doubt many of you will find this at your EB. Its a rare title and very difficult to find. I bought a copy a while ago. Its basically a scuba diving adventure game. It has excellent graphics from what I've seen. My kids play it from time to time. I'm a fan of the unique titles, and this is definately one of them. If you can get it for $5, I'd say you found a bargain.

If I'm not mistaken, part 1 was never released in the US...

I picked it up a couple months back used at EB for $12 in mint condition, but still haven't gotten around to playing it. :oops:

Maybe it was only one of those 1 or 2 day infamous EB price drops?

I'm surprised someone hasn't started a database of game print runs to support/debunk these kinds of theories.

Hmm I'd start such a database probably if you knew where to find the print run information

The problem is that Sony and most third parties regard this as guarded data. It exposes their finances to outsiders in a way that be uncomfortable if they haven't been honest about certain other numbers.

TRU had this for $15 if you made use of the BOGO deal.

I seriously love this game. I played about 56 hours of it, beat it, and still hadn't done *everything*. It's weird and not very action-oriented, but a unique concept that was executed well.

If you're interested in a review, mine's here: http://www.gameinformer.com/Games/Review/200303/R03.0729.1612.36116.htm
At that point, I'd played about 28 hours.

By print run information, I was cribbing a term usually used with comics. The "print run" is the number of copies of a game (in this case) pressed. By combining this with an estimate of general demand, I was hoping that we could put together a good list of truly "rare" (read: HTF and valuable) games. For example, the low print run of NCAA 2K3 for the GCN plus the high demand (which escalates during the Final Four) makes for a "rare" game. The low print run for Transworld Surf (to completely make up an example) plus a low demand does not.

Sadly, as epobirs as noted, it's unlikely that we'll be able to get ahold of this.

looks like the ps1 game aquanauts holiday, which ebgames happens to have for 2.99, cheaper even if you use the pplay15 and SAVER codes or whatever :)
