Should I pay retail?

[Theenternal]

Unfortuately I have been unable to find these games at a lower cost, and I fear that they will become unavailable before I can find a lower price.

Aria of sorrow (my local tru is the only place that has it) lots of them for 29.99

Disgaea (released 8/03) this game isnt that old, but is becoming hard to find, again at tru for 49.99.

In addition i am eyeing another anime cel for my collection, which may cost me another 125 :(... i really need to stop.

So what do you guys think about the market for these games? Harmony of dissodance for GBa really didnt lower in price and is hard to find. Aria doesnt seem to be getting any cheaper and ebay is flooded with bootlegs.

get em while you can. i had an opportunity to get HOD, and now i cant cause i waited. they are already uncommon, grabe em before theyre rare.

I bought Aria of sorrow(29.99) and Circle of the moon (39.99) at retail price when they came out, and I regret not buying Harmony of dissonance. The Castlevania series is one of my favorites and I have put more time into the both of those games than into any other game on my game boy advance. Go for Aria of Sorrow.

Disgaea, I have no opinion about. Never played it, would like to, but 50 buck is a tough spend for me on anything.

But you should really think aobut buying Aria of Sorrow.

It is Awesome

I'd wait on Aria, but I'm also not that huge of a Castlevania fan. Disgaea is supposedly becoming sparse, so I'd recommend getting that if you can afford it.

[Theenternal]

yea, i think ill go pick it up later today, i checked ebay its really ridiculousy filled with hong kong versions. or "English version, game comes shipped with box flat for shipping you can unfold it later" then the seller will be from HK.

It sorta sucks that its a lot easier to find the bootleg version than the real one.

I have a cel from Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust... wanna buy? Heh. j/k, mine mine.

[Theenternal]

hah, not a big fan of VHD anymore, its a cowboy bebop cel.

Definitely go for AoS, I loved playing that game when I had it, and now regret trading it away. I have seen it at Target for $20, but you've gotta be pretty lucky to find it there.

[elprincipe]

I'd grab Aria while you can. The only way you're going to get it cheaper is if you get lucky with some Circuit City deal or something.

I picked up Disgaea a little while back for the simple fact that it's gonna be hard to find pretty soon, it actually already kinda is. And I don't want to really play it later and the only way to get it is like 80 bucks on ebay or other places online.

BTW I went ahead and bought aria of sorrow :P

[PapiChullo]

Yeah, plus if you get it and don't want it you can always sell it and make a little profit. :D

Good choice on AoS. Enjoy.

Disgaea is one of the few games I would recommend actually paying full price for. Besides being rare, it has hundreds of hours of gameplay in it. Well worth the price, IMO.

Damn, I just traded in my Aria Of Sorrow for $12 at Gamestop..who knew it was worth more ??!

I just saw it in the case yesterday for $24.99.

They didn't even want the box or manual, so if anyone wants them , PM me. If you send me an envelope and postage, I'll ship them to you for $0.00.

I aint tryin to hate on your game, what you want to collect is your business, but anime cells? C'mon, man. Just.....no.

I just saw this post:

B2G1F at TRU. If it turns out to be true (I haven't confirmed yet) and you had a couple of other things you wanted ... Disgaea could be yours for $33 (or $100 depending on how you look at it)! That's how I got my copy.

[Theenternal]

Thanks for all the advice, I am perferring to find this new, hopefully the TRU deal is going on.

[Theenternal]

Well, I paid retail both games :? , Im near the end of Aria of Sorrow and it was worth it. Hopefully Disgaea is too.... at least i wont have the pain of missing out on these like i did with suikoden 2 :P
