Disgaea reprints at Fry's $49.99

[quote name='hiccupleftovers']Is there any difference between the reprints and the original batch, or is it the same as their first couple runs?[/QUOTE]

I think there is no white strip at the top.

yeah all the new PS2 games or reprints now are just coming w/o the security sticker at the top.
 
That's cool that Atlus finally reprinted copies of Disgaea, but I still can't help but feel a bit flustered by the fact that even Fry's is selling copies for $49.99 each.

I mean, the game is quite old and should literally be down to at least $29.99, especially for a reprint, don't you think?

Regardless, this is good news for people who have been trying to find this game.

Personally, I don't plan on buying this for $49.99 + tax simply because it doesn't fall under my "If it isn't in some sort of collector's box or considered to be 'limited edition', I won't buy it for full retail price" policy which I have been abiding by for the past few years.

To date, the only games that I have actually paid full retail price for in the last couple of years were "Halo 2: Limited Edition" ($59.99, but I used EB games credit, which I managed to 'build up') and most recently, "Resident Evil 4: Gamestop Limited Edition" ($59.99 - Cash outta' my pocket unfortunately).

I'm sure Disgaea is a great game, but come on.... $49.99 for a reprint? Sure, it doesn't have that ugly ass "greatest hits" red bar on the top, but it's still a re-release of the original game.

If anything, I just hope that this re-release of Disgaea makes the going 'ebay prices' for the game plummet, so in the end, the game's overall price will decrease in value. That way, everyone can have a chance to play it.

the reprint Will not make the price crash, why does everything think this.. Disgaea has already been reprinted (hell i think this is the 3rd or 4th printing) and the vaule has stuck... within 6 months most all the copies will be gone and the vaule will go right back up IF and that is a MAJOR IF the price drops.

The reprint looks exactly the same w/o the sticker on top. There might be some small differences but I couldn't compare the new box to the old.

holy crap. I agree with slidecage for once.

The last reprintings of Disgaea did nothing to effect the price of the game. People are going to pay $49.99 for it, so why would Atlus re-release it for cheaper? People snatched them up then, and they certainly will again this time.
 
my Fry's has never been out of this game, ever.

also, WHY would a company drop the price of a game that sells this well?

if it was lagging, then they would drop it

supply and demand people.... economics 101
 
[quote name='Grave_Addiction']Does anyone know how many copies Atlus has sold to date?[/QUOTE]
Seriously, why isnt this game GH yet?

It will never hit the number required by Sony for an uber-popular greatest hits. Besides, Atlus barely makes money as it is (actually I think they lost money last quarter).
 
Ya'll gotta remember that Atlus' games typically only appeal to a select audience, whereas a game like Burnout 2 is a lot more audience friendly.
 
My Fry's recently got a ton of Disgaea and SMT:N back on the shelves. They also can't seem to get rid of all the DDS copies they have sitting there.
 
[quote name='Drek']Well, got Disgaea but here's hoping some places start having copies of shin megami tensei noctourne again. :([/QUOTE]

Don't listen to the whiners in this thread, though. Game Quest Direct is good stuff.

As for Disgaea, it's the greatest strat/RPG of all time. It's funny, innovative, and lengthy. I put 100 + hours into it with ease, and I have a hard time investing 15 into most games. Still getting it new at MSRP is awesome for those who don't have it yet.
 
There's a thread about this somewhere - but keep in mind that, at least last week, you could order Disgaea from outpost.com for $34.99 (plus about $7 shipping). I just got my copy yesterday - $42.20 shipped. The one I bought at Fry's is going back today.

It is not showing on the web site - you need to CALL and ask for it!
