I was thining of picking this up as a third $30 games at TRU. But I noticed it's $20 at Ebgames and the used is $27. They may have a glut on this.
Who knows, in a couple months it might sell for $10 like Final Fantsay XI-2 did.

Great price but I'm not to suprised it hasn't sold all that well. It's definatley worth $20.

I'll wait and hope for a $9.99 deal down the line.

This is the reason why I'm not picking up SO3. I think we might see a price drop for that in Jan or Feb. I'd be willing to wait til then.

too many people use that mentaility that stuff will never drop, yet La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, and others have dropped.
I hardly buy RPG's, but I do agree with you on waiting to get them on a good deal

I picked up La Pucelle for $20 at Target but when did Phantom Brave Drop? Or did you mean Disgaea when it was $5 at CC. That's the rarest of the rare though.
By the way, I'm still stuck on a $30 games. I'm thinking of Riddick, Harvet Moon: Save the Homeland, and can't find anything else. I might just skip this and wait around/ I'm trying to grab games that I don't think will drop in price for awhile.
I plan on getting Burnout 3, Paper Mario 2, and Either Phantom Brave or Shin if it's in stock but I've seen brave there and naught of Shin.
Anyway, any recommendations for a $30 game?

Though it is 49.99 today, I am 99 percent sure I saw it for 40 the other day on their website
also someone posted a deal on a used copy of it the other day for cheap

It's different though. These are games from Square Enix, while those are primarily from Nippon Ichi. And these are official price drops for new games, while the games that you mentioned still retails for $49.99 new everywhere else.
Of late, SE's games have been dropping faster and faster. FFX and Kingdom Hearts stayed strong for a year or so, but FFX2, FM4 and Drakengard, released earlier this year (or late last year for FFX2) have seen price drops. I think it's safe to say that this trend for SE's software will continue.
And the deals for La Pucelle and Phantom Brave may come from the retail entity instead of the publishing company.
At any rate, La Pucelle and Phantom Brave were published by newer US established companies, Mastiff and NIS, so we can't tell what their agendas are. For sure Atlus' releases have been primarily limited and in low numbers.

Phantom Brave was 40 just this morning, I saw it and thought it was weird but didn't think it was good enough to post, it was WELL worth 50 though, one of my favorites.

For real? Where did you see it at $40? This might change my TRU online purchase.

Man, I am tempted to pick this up but I just spent $28 on the good GBC deals on EB. Plus I still need to get Halo 2, Phantom Brave and Growlanser Generations. Great deal though.

Cheapest I have seen it is Gamestop...

$44.99, but I don't think this comes with the Bonus Music CD.

Just came from my local EB. It's $19.99 in stores too. It's safe to say that this is a permanent price drop (at EB anyway).

disgaea was $35 new at outpost.com
I have a hunch disgaea could go GH pretty soon tho, it may be getting close to 400,000 units sold.

well according to this post: http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35547
Disgaea has only sold 60,649 copes as of Sept 26th 2004 in America. 60,000 copies isn't anywhere near 400,000 assuming this info is correct.

I'm wondering if they are both wrong, 400,00 sound to high and 60,000 sounds way to low but I don't think they will GH it but they could do a third printing but that will probably be determined by how well Phantom Brave is selling in 6 months

It's amazing how fast game prices are dropping these days.
For most games, a little patient and discipline will save bucks.
We have to play the stack of cheapies we have and wait . . . but its so hard too wait for many games that are coming out. :shock:

If it's also $20 in store, I wonder what are the odds of a price match at Best Buy and then using the GGC.
From my experience BB's won't allow you to use the GGC on top of a price match, but for $15 I definately would pick this up.

I'm so tempted to pick this up right now, just in case it's temporary, but I've spent too much money on games and DVDs lately. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that it stays at this price until I get some more money.

I normally buy RPG games at full price or on sale, because I play them way more than any kind of games. I got my copy of Front Mission 4 for $40, and don't regret it.

yeah, i went to 2 eb's and 2 gamestops looking for dynasty warriors 4:empires...and i was looking at the prices of PB also, it was regular price everywhere i went
not saying it couldnt be 40 or even 30, but it would be pretty hard to find

Well, I liked FM4 from the demo that I got in the mail way back when. Maybe this will be a good excuse to buy the game finally.

Just a heads up for you guys. This game fetches $25 at FYE. So if you grab it and it's not your cup'o'tea .. you can make a couple of bucks on it
