[quote name='SMITTYBLAZE']OK, I think it's overpriced, it should be a Virtual Console release (which people have been begging for), and this is a total waste of a Wii disc. That's the best they got is the same exact game from 17 years ago on SNES? I know most of you aren't that foolish.
Now, it's one thing for people who say they want to play the game and are buying it..maybe they like the booklet and soundtrack too. It's another thing when people are buying up copies thinking that it is somehow going to be rare or give them a return in profit down the road. We have the right to laugh at those people.
The worst thing of all is how badly overpriced it is to begin with. On CAG I would expect better from most people, not really from confoosious though.[/QUOTE]
I thought you were done arguing about this? If you want to laugh at those people who are buying multiples, do it quietly to yourself. The thing is that you dont KNOW whether the game will be as widely available as you expect. You are merely speculating that Nintendo will print a ton of these, just like the people you're laughing at are speculating that it will be a limited run and finding new copies of these will be hard to find a few months after release.
Is it really that badly overpriced? Purchasing all 4 games on VC will cost $21, and you're getting the games in a nice package along with a booklet and soundtrack for $9 more. That doesn't seem that bad actually, not to mention purchasing games on VC makes it quite difficult to transfer to another console and impossible to resell at a later date. And on top of that, some people just simply like having a physical copy of it, to keep in their collection.
I only ordered one myself, to keep in my collection. I don't personally think it will be rare or increase in value in the future, but that doesn't give me or you or anyone else the right to judge other people's purchasing decisions.
