I think that's mostly a matter of it having been on sale at a bunch of places for the holidays.

I picked it up for $13.33 at Amazon during their B2G1 Free sale back in November (along with Guilty Party and Toy Story Mania for my nephew). I wouldn't really expect it to shoot up though unless it's out of print.

Not a horrible price, but it's still possible to find it for $50 brand new.

Perhaps. I saw commercials for Blockbuster in Pennsylvania but they're gone from Baltimore.

*nod* There is something about completeness when it comes to the "rare" titles out there. I've seen quite a few titles locally for the PS2 like Dark Alliance 2 and Suikoden V--all disc-only or missing manuals. Even a buddy of mine who lucked into ordering a Suikoden V online got buggered on Gamestop's "New" (but is really screwed up) designation. If you ever seen Growlanser: Heritage of War LE boxes that were "New" and beat to hell you'll know what I'm saying.

Anyhow, recently I was able to sell a Clock Tower 3 game on Amazon, noticing that someone was willing to pay $13.50 shipped when Gamestop is supposed to have it for $5.99. This tells me that someone is having a hard time finding a decent copy at their local gamestop, and when that happens enough times across the country you start having a climb in the online price with the perceived rarity there.

I think it is OOP and prices will never be that low ever again.
