Skies of Arcadia(GC) is $20 at Fry's. They have numerous copies at the Northern California Fry's I go to. Also, it appears that the deal is online, but there may be limited quantities.

Didnt see it Either, but your link says "Call for availability", according to their FAQ is means its backordered.
They do have FF:CC for $40.. but even at that price its not worth it :x

Went to my local Fry's in Fountain Valley, and they had 5-10 copies. They are not on the shelf so you will need to ask a cs to help you. Those of you who could not find it, make sure you check that it's not in their locked up cage-supply thing. Twice, I have found that I had to ask them to open up the cage to get a game.

It was posted on IGN at 11:17 p.m. (EST) last night. I don't usually think it's a problem when deals are posted on IGN because the site is full of gamers like this site so I am kind of dissapointed that they would abuse the deal.
I don't think the person who posted at IGN did anything wrong especially since they gave credit to CAG but I guess it wasn't expected that people on IGN would act like that.

One has to wonder whether or not Sega has begun production again. Amazon, for example, has started selling new copies of the game when a few weeks ago, you could only buy from sellers in the Zshops (there was no indication that the game was backordered, either). Sadly, you have to pay full price for the game, but this and the deal at Fry's gives me hope that other stores will start getting new copies of the game in, and that they will be cheaper than $50.

I'm guessing they started production on this title again too. Suddenly ebay is flooded with a glut of them and prices have dropped on this game to $30ish, and they were selling for $50-$60 a few months ago. Same thing happened with Xbox Air Force Delta Storm, that went out of print quickly and it went for crazy prices on ebay, but they produced more copies and now you can find it for $25.

I saw several copies at Game Crazy (new) for $50. Since it's the only place I've seen that still carries it, it's my last resort in case the outpost deal falls through.

I got 2 emails about it, 1 saying march 16 but its not garenteed as you all may know, but they said they are getting a shipment in.....I'll paste it
"GC SKIES OF ARCADIA is due in stock around 3/16, however we
cannot guarantee that date as manufacturers occasionally experience
delays in shipping their products. We recommend that you check back with
us on or shortly after the ETA to verify this information. We apologize
for the delay and any inconvenience this may cause." So yea.....here's to hoping, I got it with 2 day air so if it does come I'll know soon. :D

So yea.....here's to hoping, I got it with 2 day air so if it does come I'll know soon. :D
Yeah, what the hell...I selected ground shipping at first, and it said it would be $5.72...so I tried 2 day air and it came out to $5.95....hell, I'll take the 2 day for $.23 more.

They did this with Puzzle Fighter for the PSOne about 8 months ago also. It drove down the value, but it's gone back up since then. If you are holding SOA for value, then just continue to do so since they aren't releasing a ton of these.

As I said on another post where someone was hoarding items, this is faulty logic. "The basic idea behind this fallacy is that the fact that most people do X is used as "evidence" to support the action or practice. It is a fallacy because the mere fact that most people do something does not make it correct, moral, justified, or reasonable."
http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/index.html#index
And dont' forget, you're not just "getting even" with other hoarders, but of people who just wanted a cheapass deal on a single copy.

Fuck you!!! Its assholes like you and fattwallet that leave me without any fucking cheap ass games to buy :evil: I bought up all four copies for me and my friends since They've been wanting this game for a while since it was released on the dreamcast but didnt want to shell out the $50 for it, And since they said if it ever was on sell for around $20 I should pick it up for them if i saw it, and guess what I saw it...........
I really don't give a rats ass what you think since this is a fucking message boards and everytime Ive tried to get on a deal its dead because some ass hole posted it on the FW boards and killed it for everyone looking to get a game( I never order more the one off any deal), I only got all the copies on the self because there was more in the Fucking cage for the SMART PEOPLE who ask the person in the department to check to see if there was anymore copies lift. But of cource I bet you didnt do that because your an ass hat who thought that since its not on the self its sold out at frys....
Get off your fucking high horses becuase there was still fucking 20+ copys lift in the cage that my fucking friend who works there looked up in the store system for me. and if there isnt by the time you get there its not my fucking problem since i only got 4 and three are going to friends for $20 since Im only asking for my money back.
So if your sorry ass is still sitting there thinking weather or not you should get your fatt ass up off your computer chair to buy a game in public place at a store in the day time, then you better fucking due it before the other ebaying ass holes snatch up all the fucking games so your no able to buy it since you were to fucking lazy to get out of your house.
And if they don't have it in the store they still got them online you bloody ass hats. Sure you going to have to wait for shipping but hey, should have gotten off your ass and bought it from the store while you had the chance. Freaking bought those copies at 8pm and they were in the wide open on the self and they dude in the game deparment said they've been sitting like that since wensday, and i bought them on a thursday night.

I was fucking joking in my first post, the 3 copies are going to my friends if you don't believe me then keep a fucking eye out on ebay for 3 copies of SOA being should by H0LLYW000D since thats my fucking ebay user name, And hell I don't sell on ebay since I only buy off there.

HOLLYWOOOD, I realize this is all conversation over the internet, which doesn't allow for nuances in communication that would come through in real life. However, your first post gave no indication that it was facetious, but rather only extremely bitter and hostile. There was no satirical meaning conveyed upon me at all. Also, what you stated in your second post contradicted much of what you said in the first post, so you'll forgive me if I'm just a bit skeptical about what's going on here. As it is, even if your first post was a joke and the second post tells the truth, you should probably know better than to joke about something (i.e. hoarding) that is a very sore issue with many CAG's here. (BTW, it really helps if you don't overuse cursing when you're trying to make a point, especially when it's in your defense. It loses its effect and only looks crude.)
Anyway, assuming that your second post is right about those extra copies of SoAL, I'm making a special trip to the Woodland Hills Fry's tomorrow to get myself a copy.

Well...what do you know. This game has signifcantly dropped in price. eBay is flooded (well, not quite flooded...but theyre there) with 28.95 BINs...Even If I dont get it from Frys/Outpost I will definetly be buying one on eBay. I regret not buyinjg one when I saw it for 39.99 new at CompUSA....and REALLY regret not buying one for 9.99 at BestBuy.com ........wah. Good luck with the orders guys!
Contradictory idiotic rant
Just shut the hell up. You have no room to get on anyone's case here. You initially said you bought them out of spite and to sell on eBay. We all saw it, it was quoted multiple times, so YOU get off YOUR high horse you backtalking ignorant little shitstain. Next time you feel like bragging about screwing other people over, don't, because we don't give a damn about you and what you bought.

Don't regret it. I ordered it from BB pretty soon after the $9.99 price was posted, and of course it got backordered and cancelled. I haven't seen anyone write that they actually got the game.

Just a heads up for you guys living in SoCal but last night I went to the Fry's in Burbank at around 8:00 P.M. and I saw four copies of SOA for sale. Needless to say, I picked one up so maybe they still have a few lying around. I didnt check the cage though so there still might even be more there.

Well since I got the backorder for skies of arcadia legends yesterday from outpost.com, I think I might cancel the order. I'm not sure what everyone else is doing who bought it online but I might wait a couple of weeks to see if it comes and if not then I'll probably cancel. I hope this game comes because I would hate to pay full price or over for a game thats like a year old.

Yeah, I typically do that, but even if a store says an item is not in stock, I may make a visit if it's along the way to wherever else I'm heading. I've often found that employees will just be lazy over the phone and not care to really check for you. Lots of them just give a standard "probably out of stock" reply. I've found supposedly out of stock items enough times to not take phone call confirmations as the final word. But yeah, in the end, it never hurts to call beforehand.
BTW, everyone, I visited the Woodland Hills Fry's yesterday and they didn't have anymore SoAL left. An employee looked it up in the computer and checked the shelves/cages for me. Nothing. Another employee passing by remarked that he was sure they had already sold out a day or two ago. :(
Can anyone tell me if the San Diego or the San Marcos Fry's are sold out of the game? It'd really help a lot...

I live in Maryland and we don't have those kinds of stores out here..I mean the ones with deals like this. Also I've had to cut up my cards and waiting for new ones because somehow $150 is missing out of my account and the bank said it was through an online transaction, so I'm a little skeptical on online buying right now. If anyone could help a guy out??? Thanks guys. Now where's my little machine gun...

how come outpost doesnt ask you to create an account before you buy?
Hopefully they get it back in stock soon, I'm going to get Otogi and Soul Calibur 2 form them ($15.99 and $19.99 each) soon, adding another title will only help on shipping.
Anyone find any other good Outpost.com deals?

03-16-2004, 08:07 PM
I bought a copy on EBay for $30 total like 10 minutes before I found out about this deal (this was like 2 weeks ago.) So anyway, since it doesn't look like Outpost knows what the hell's going on, I'm just buying the copy on Ebay, and if Outpost ships, well, then it looks like I've got something to sell on EBay.
Most likely the one you're getting from eBay is off some asshat that bought 10 from Fry's. :-P
King Bahamut
03-17-2004, 12:42 AM
Get it while you can, the deal is back! I just nailed myself 4 copies (3 to sell to friends at minimal profit, and 1 for myself because my original copy came with no case - some ass stole it from Software Etc. and it was their last copy left).
Edit: I got them at Outpost.com Does Call for Availability mean out of stock?

I can tell you guys that it's best to look elsewhere for this game. I checked every Nor Cal Fry's two weekends ago and they were out of the game. When I called Outpost.com, the woman who took my call said "We're way out of that game". which leads me to believe that they don't have any and there's a long wait list to boot.
Just get one off Ebay, that's what I was forced to do...
I also checked my local Frys in hopes of finding it - no luck. I've got one ordered through Outpost, and will let the order stand for a few more days. As long as I'm not charged, there's no harm in hoping they get them in. Of course, I said the same thing to myself when I ordered it from BestBuy for $9.99 in October - and they haven't even cancelled that order yet!

AFAIK, they cancelled ALL orders but didn't send out any emails letting people know, so yours was almost certainly cancelled along with the rest of ours. Unless your neighbor is the CEO of the company and they're waiting for your lone game to show up at their warehouse!! :wink:

First the 16th now the 22nd hopefully this time its true, if they do this two more times I doubt its coming :cry:
Well, each date they give will be one week apart - but the question is, do they know -for sure- what each shipment contains or are they just giving us the standard weekly shipment dates to quickly answer our questions? Surely each shipment contains more than just the single item we're after... and unfortunately, I've been told many times that it "could come in with the next order" - Feh - It's only time, and it's not like I don't have a stockpile of unopened/unplayed games thanks to CAG to tide me over :)

I just called their 800 number and was also told that they are getting more in on the 22nd. I asked was it definite or just a possibility and he said definite, but he can't guarantee the 22nd as there might be driver delays - it depends on when they get the game to them. So, let's see.

They are never speaking specifically about this game. It seems to me that this is just their spiel for whenever something is out of stock or call for availability. We all know that this won't be coming in to their loading docks. The game is oop, where would they be coming from?

I strongly doubt that Sega has decided to put this game back into production. Why would it? It didn't sell terribly well the first or second time around. The glut is from idiot hoarders who bought this game up at Fry's when they did the price cut to $20. This game is not rare or hard to find, it is just hard to find at less than retail price. If we wanted to pay $50, we could all find this game almost immediately.
Edit: I certainly hope that I'm wrong....but it is very unlikely of Sega.
rapsodist
03-23-2004, 03:05 PM
There's a good chance that the game might have gone back into production, at least for a small run. Sega of Japan just announced a small second run of the game a couple weeks back, so perhaps Sega of America has done the same but without an announcement.

I didn't receive an email saying it shipped by the way - I had to check the status on their site (for anyone assuming they'll get an email noting it's fulfillment).

Yeah, no email but it shipped around 2:30am. Ahhh...I've been awaitin' for this one for awhile--I swear i've been dipping into this topic every chance I had over the past week and a half (even at work). My thanks to the person or persons who started this topic--I love this site, but like everyone else, i seem to be poorer than when I first registered.
UPDATE: May already be out of stock. A search results in the game and strategy guide, the stock status of the game is Call for Availability again, however, when you click the link to the game, the stock status is still shown as In Stock, Same Day Shipping... ?
Omega - funny how we all found this site and check it constantly for money saving buys - but the truth is you end up spending more money than you would of had you not known about this site simply because some of the deals are too good to pass up, even if in the end you can't find time to play game X. I have a stack of $10 games that will take me an eternity to get to that I know I would of never bought had I not known about CAG. Sure makes my game collection look larger though :) And games that deserved a chance but didn't get one (Beyond Good and Evil) are now finding homes... I think I need a kleenex.
OmegaRed5
03-24-2004, 04:32 AM
Oh god, don't mention Beyond Good and Evil, i'm trying to avoid thinking about it--gotta draw the line somewhere (but i keep thinking "it's only $20"). Seriously though, I've never purchased games in the quantity i have since i came here. I always bought one game at a time and finished it completely before looking for something else. Thing is, I even had more time back then--in college now and i barely have time for an hour or two every other day, and yet, my collection just keeps growing.
Oh, the hell with it -- How is Beyond Good and Evil? Worth the $20? I might as well stop kidding myself, i'll be picking that one up soon enough.
Side Note: What kills me is that I went to a local Gamestop recently in search of Skies and only found used copies--and a real steal at $39.99.....

Outpost now has "Limit one per order" on the page for Skies of Arcadia. That's good to see. It seems easier for a retailer to ship 20 copies to one hoarder than 1 copy to 20 people. Maybe a retailer actually cares about us gamers?
Mine was BACK-ORDERED. Those unfair fuckers. :evil: I guess to some scrubs like me, "In Stock, Same Day Shipping" translates to "you're going to get this game a month from now."

It's been a tad random which orders have shipped, and which have been "placed on backorder."

This game is now on "Call for Availability." On other news, my 1 order of Skies of Arcadia for 1 copy changed from "Partial Backorder" to "In Process."

Actually got my copy today -- had it shipped overnight and got it 10am this morning. There are people who had it on backorder and didn't get a copy this time around? That is enough to make you just wanna... Oh, just look at an earlier post I made, that'll explain it.
Oh, and to those who were talking about a player's choice edition--the copy i got wasn't a player's choice, just the original.

Well, now it's "in process" again. Geez I just hope I actually get it.

There won't be a Player's Choice for this game I think because it wasn't THAT popular...and also, there was already a Player's Choice announcement recently made for Metroid Prime to be $20 and Mario Golf to be $30.
Edit: Outpost ships on a first come, first service basis.
Bullshit.

I placed an order last week which was then promptly marked as "backorder. Ater seeing the posts here, I sent customer service an e-ail last night asking why I hadn't received a notice about a shipment when people who had placed an order yesterday had received shipping notices. I also alluded to the suspicion of randomness to order fulfillments. They didn't bother answering that, but they did say that my order was immediately filled after they read my e-mail and the shipment has gone out. :)

I find it interesting that I placed an order for SoA and the Arc the Lad Collection on Wed morn @ 10am (yesterday at this point), and both items are listed as shipped at the time of this post. given that, I'd guess most ppl here would definitely be getting their games sometime soon, but then I don't know how Outpost.com handles their incoming orders or backorders.

Alright, my single copy was shipped, but my bundle of 4 hasn't been shipped yet, it still says "Order Being Processed." Oh well, at least I got my main order, that counts (my original copy I bought new does not have the case because someone stole it from Software Etc., so gay).

Nope, I got a 10% discount, although that isn't much :( ($5).
And those 4 are for friends who never got to play Skies and who don't want to use their cards due to possible credit card fraud (happened to a few).

sucks on both counts, particularly the measly 10% discount.
glad I didn't give you the real rolling eyes for your previous post. given what you wrote, I couldn't resist being "that guy" and writing something in response. I hope you get them and your friends enjoy the game!

I recently checked the eBay prices for sealed GC versions. they really don't seem to pull in much over $35, with a few ending for less than $30. anyone hoping to make an immediate profit off this game via eBay would likely be disappointed.

Like they ever would :(. Coincidentally, I happen to be selling a used copy of Lunar 2: Eternal Blue without the inserts on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3086878692), but I do happen to have a copy with the inserts that I'm going to sell soon I think...(all inserts except for the cloth map :( )...

yeah... as of mid-November I started picking up games again. I've had that copy of Lunar SSSC for years, never got around to playing it. now that I've started buying games again, I'm trying to get the things I missed out on, like Lunar: EB. I'm a pretty big RPG fan, so I definitely want it in my collection.

that sucks, sorry to hear. sounds like they retroactively applied the game limit to your order. have you tried ordering them separately? you'd pay more in shipping, but you'd probably get the games.

the sealed copies don't go for all that much on eBay, nothing like the painfully ridiculous Suikoden II complete games. I'll probably just break down and buy Lunar: EB off there before long.
They tried to deliver mine at 11 but nobody's home at that time. :?

No what's ridiculous is a sealed copy of Mega Man X3...that game already goes for $100+ on eBay...
Edit: $100 + used that is - there was an auction for a sealed copy for $400 the other day...now it's gone for some strange reason, I think someone paid him that much for it.
Just traded a Suikoden II copy for Disgaea, Metroid Prime, and 45 bucks. :-P

....Put your tounge back in your mouth. Thats not to good of a deal.
Disgaea-45 and it'll hit 30 and then go back up in a bit to 60...So possibly the only thing worth getting out of it.
Metroid prime-5-15 bucks used.
45-What're you gunna do? Buy food? Games? Thats useless.....
Well excuse me for not going for an uneven deal. I'm not out to completely rip people the fuck off you know, even though I did pay 60 for it.. :?

I ordered this March 11th and mine came yesterday. I was thrilled to get this deal as the EB's here are selling the USED ones for $49.99. I had the original for the Dreamcast and thought the game was just so-so and had far too many random battles but the collector in me screamed to pick this up.
In all fairness though I found out about this deal on uncledunkel.com not here. You CAG's should check out his site.
