How rare is Disgaea??? $49.99 @ Toys R Us

[jkam]

I notice everyone says this game is rare and all. I see a ton being sold on ebay and right on TRU's website. So what is the deal exactly? Why all the hype?

I see it here and there too. Its not rare, just a little hard to find for some areas. Definately not rare though.

[jkam]

Well I guess if someone REALLY wants it.... They know where to get it.

[argyle]

It's not rare to the point that you can't find it, but few enough were printed so that you'll most likely never see a price drop on it.

[kfkl]

i really want this game, but im poor. has anyone ever seen it for less? its 45 used at gamestop, but thats not really less.

[jaybird]

It was an extreme case of "your mileage may vary," but I found my copy at Hastings used for $29.99 about a month ago.

They have it new on their website for $44.99, but it's out of stock.

I paid $49.99 for this at Circuit City. Didn't want to end up not able to get it in the future.

I bought Suikoden 3 off of ebay for $55+ off eBay and then Konami end up printing more game and going for $29.99 when was told that this game is discontinued. Rather pay $49.99 + tax then $55.

I got mine last year on the buy 2 get 1 free, Toys R Us video game sale.

Same here. I picked up the last copy at my local CC. I didn't want to hunt the game down in the future.

The same thing happened to me with Cubivore. I payed $55 soon after everyone was out of stock, then all these copies started showing up for $20 - $30. :( That's an Atlus game as well, so maybe Disgaea will get a drop and repress too.

[Dazz]

Its just word thats all. I have seen over 20 copies in the last month at different places.

[PapiChullo]

I've seen quite a few copies all over as well. I ordered mine from Target online a couple months ago though.

[Gnomeslayer]

I haven't seen any copies at my local stores, but then again, I haven't really been looking for it. EBgames and Gamestop both don't have it, although Gamestop has it used.


I suppose it isn't impossible to find, but it's definetly not common. It is virtually impossible to find it for under $50 however :(

[freshzen]

The average eBay (and otherwise) price is $40 (used, of course). I think I'll buy this game from Toys R Us ....if it's around in a month. :roll:

[rimsforsale]

not too shocking.. i saw a couple gamestops that still sold alter echo for 49.99, this month! also im hearing a rumor of a reprint on disegea.

[-Never4ever-]

It's not rare, there's just no cheap deal for it (yet)

[Skylander7]

But when a tenacious cheap ass gamer finds it for 19 bucks, the topic is going to light up like a hooker's case of herpes. Its not rare.. just highly desired by those who know good games yet also think paying 50 bucks for a game is lame (because it is)

[DrEldarion]

If any game is worth the $50 they charge, it's Disgaea.

[Wasabi]

I think what happened was the last few games by Atlus had limited releases so everyone assumed that a quirky title would do the same.

I wouldn't be suprised if it was a markketing ploy for people to ruch out and buy it...collector, ebayer and gamer

[JohnnyDrama]

I saw a couple of copies of Disgaea at my local CC about a couple of months ago, and I foolishly passed them up. Luckily I found it used on EBgames.com (got it for $34 used).

[KingNES]

Atlus has a bad habit of short producing titles, and then selling them months down the line on their website. When people paid 50+ for Rhapsody, I got it direct from Atlus for 23.90 shipped and they tossed in some stickers and demos for us. We called their direct line and they were very cool. Just wait, it'll dip soon enough.

[jaykrue]

I heard Disgaea was only limited to 40000 copies in the US and Atlus is notorious for making small quantities

[Macros]

I just got it from Gamestop for like $35 with their stopwatch sale (20% off preplayed)

Good luck.

I got a used copy from FYE for $43.99; case/disc/instructions were in perfect condition. I realize its not a huge savings, but if you have any crap ames lying around, the chain does give good amounts of store credit for trade-ins, at least compared to EB and Gamestop.
