Let's see if we actually get them shipped to us now, unlike fye.com and buy.com


Got this off GTZ.

If you can wait until March, there's supposed to be some more copies showing up to coincide with the European release. You might have to put up with lamer boxart.

Is there an exact date on that?

No, but why would you need one?

I posted this in the Phoenix Wright thread:

I bit. I can always dispute if this turns out rotten. If not, big thanks to the OP! Finally, I get my hands on this game.

Well, the company goes through Yahoo Shopping, so it must be somewhat valid. That's the way I see it.

And this price is cheaper than most of the games currently on the shelf, so even if I waited until March, I'd still probably pay about $29.99 or so. Plus, like you said, lamer boxart.

I ordered it, lets see what happens. My bank well take care of me if something goes wrong. I checked reseller ratings and they had no info on this company.

I wanted to place an order, but expected shipping date is 5-7 business days. Doesn't that indicate that they don't have any game in-stock currently?

I was going on the basis that since the DS is region free it wouldn't be necessary for them to do a seperate batch of the "US Version". I could be wrong. In fact, we could all be wrong and not see a new shipment here.

Oh come on!

That just sounds rediculous. There is no basis or factual evidence of this. This is how bad rumors get started.

I emailed this company a couple weeks ago and they're sold out.... even though their website says 5-7 business days.

That's all anyone has to go on is rumors. It's not as if I just made that up; it's been circulating quite a bit. It's not too far of a stretch anyway. The game never received massive sales or wide publicity, so it would be of no consequence for them to ship out some of the european stock. As I said, there might not be any second shipment of it anyway. I remember when Lik-Sang said they were going to get more (around December or so, if I'm not mistaken) and they didn't. Additionally, they showed the European boxart on the page that made that claim.

I got the Cancel letter like 4 minutes after I ordered. NOW, wouldnt it be easie to just put it OOS??? Or is this some kinda fucking scam where they get us to sign up for their newsletter

First that I heard of it. Anyway, stills sound rediculous, I have never heard of this happening to a game. The European box will have to be printed seperate no matter what. Over here almost all games say for North America NTSC, over there they use PAL. Anyway, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

"Please Read: Phoenix Wright is sold out. GONE. Please do not add this item to your shopping cart. There is a new production of the game scheduled for late March 2006 but unless you are willing to wait that long for the game, please do not add this game to your shopping cart. Thanks for reading."

Pretty sure this is the source of the latest rumors circulating. If you're not familiar with NSCX, it's the best import house in the US (IMO).

Damnit and I really wanted this game, I hope to god there is a reprint in March. I bet Capcom never saw it coming; "Attorney game becomes hot eBay product" lol.

I posted that many days ago in the Phoenix Wright thread. I was referring to the cover art.

Which is why a lot of people think it'll be related to the European release. The end of March is when it hits across the pond, and NCS deals with import titles.

Just an FYI for those who tried it...they went ahead and charged my card before checking to see if it was in stock. Just an FYI tip. Make sure to keep tabs on it so they don't get away with stealing.
