It was 29.99 originally, but they must have a had a sale on it. There were no promotions applied to my order, so it must have been a sale rather than a lightning deal. The invoice says 19.95. I think that is the only reason I bought it since I already had the original with the extras.

For anyone who's interested, theres a "Chance" gamestop might have Rune Factory:Tides of Destiny in tommorow (The release date isnt till the 12th).

They gave calls to all the pre-order's saying it would be available tommorow, and multiple people have confirmed Gamestop does already have it in stock, but are waiting till tommorow to see whats going on. (Might be another case of early releases)

Yeah I got my text message from them. If they indeed allow us to buy them tomorrow, I will be one very happy girl. :3

For those interested, Hyperdimension Neptunia may be getting re-released at a lower price. According to this interview with NIS America,

The sell through was really great, but there weren’t many copies printed. The install number is really small. That’s the reason many people cannot find Neptunia. Right now, we are talking with Sony to see if we can re-release Neptunia at a cheaper price.

I was wondering if i should get this game now or wait for a price drop. It was in my gold box the other day but i passed, waiting on a <40 price (preferably 29.99) The only thing is i dont want it to sudenly be rare because of a low print run. ANyone heard anything about this game? Are we safe to wait or should we grab a copy now?

It doesn't mention, but im assuming it would just be the game by itself? not a special edition? I still have my launch copy sealed, along with the pre order playing cards, sealed as well. Its worth so much now that i dont want to friggin open it and still havent played the damn thing =P

Id love a copy to open and play

Rune Factory Frontier was rare when it was out of print so I would get Tides of Destiny now

There are some used copies floating around at some gamestops. If you just want to play it, picking it up at $50 isn't too bad unless they re release it for $40, but I doubt we'll see it at that. Plus if it's in good condition, you'll probably get your money back from someone who is collecting and wants to just play it too.

Natsume is pretty good at keeping stock around.

Wondering the same thing myself since I ended up over-paying for a copy of Rune Factory Frontier for the Wii last year on Ebay. I totally forgot about the release and checked Amazon one day to see it was going for $85+ from market sellers! Jumped on Ebay and scooped a BIN copy for $70 only to have it come shrink-wrapped Due to it being the first transaction under my account and not wanting to start off with bad feedback or something, I just ate it and threw it on the pile. A few months later I decided to expand my Wal-mart run to a 50 mile radius and found a store clearancing tons of games. After some digging, found 2 copies for $19.99 apiece (correctly y-sealed this time), so said what the heck and bought them both.

Needless to say, I ended up giving the shrink-wrapped copy to my son, but it still stung to have paid less for 2 good copies, than some re-wrapped garbage. Think I'm just going to press my luck this time and wait for some drops, keeping a close eye on inventory levels at various retailers.

Any hopes of Catherine dropping? Its price has been really steady for the past few months and has even risen a little bit

Just hold out, at least until Black Friday. It'll hit $30 (game only) or less easily.

Catherine was $39.99 at Amazon just last week.

Before it became rare it actually dropped to $20 on Amazon. Was kicking myself for the longest time for not picking up at that price. Thankfully managed to pick up a $25 copy a few days ago from the new XSeed online store.

Yea, I picked one up at some point too. Didn't even know it was rare, or I might have sold it.

HOLY , I had no idea XSeed opened an online store! Thank God!

I was about ready to pay 60+ for a new copy of Rune Factory Frontier. This is better for all parties involved: I get the game cheaper and XSeed gets my money instead!

I'm interested in getting Atelier Totori but not sure if i have time to play it currently. Does the premium editions of these games sell out fast or is there a drop in price usually til they disappear.
Also wish i could find a premium edition Atelier Rorona as i been reasearching this series and sounds interesting since i like JRPGs. should i play that one first?

Rorona was overproduced. It's 39.99 at Gamestop right now, and in my area most have at least one premium edition left. I would try that; many still have multiple sealed. Who knows if that's any indication of Totori production. Each game in the series builds on the concept, but you wouldn't miss anything story wise. It would probably just feel like a downgrade going from Totori to Rorona as far as mechanics and polish go.

I tried playing Rorona and couldn't get into it. I suggest going with the better entry -- Totori -- to see if you like it or not.

I am not sure if this is a Japanese niche game, but amazon has
Fate/Extra Limited Edition up for preorder. It came up in my goldbox for 37.99. It says it is for the PSP.

why do we have to make a giant, jumbo thread for everything now?
