Eh, I caved in and bought what I was looking at. Last time I hesitated on a deal like this, someone else bought it out from under me. I'll report back to you guys if something goes wrong. I really hope it doesn't.
Update! Oh how I love updates! I come bearing news from the sweet vine of life known as internet! I had been searching for the game Ico for several weeks now, not counting the years before because I wasn't super serious about it back then. Seeing most deals on the internets being well over the amount I wanted to pay, I looked on and on hoping for some magical dealer to come down on a golden chariot and save me from all the money.
I found that dealer. Pretty much an unknown to most folks before today. beindependent.com is a Colorado store based around CDs and DVDs. But they also apparently sell games. I can't find a SINGLE link on their site stating this, almost like they're ashamed of the fact. So I was pretty hesitant to give them my information. But I took a chance, could have made a mistake, and could have gotten messy.
But I'm here to tell you, at least in my case, they are a legitimate site. Ico showed up in the mail today. Took longer than I expected, but I can't blame them for it. I'm having a lot of trouble with my mail service lately. But I won't get into that. From ship date to finish with priorty mail, it took five days.
I can't tell you how their shipping will be if you order, because I don't have your mail service, and I can't gaurantee that you won't get ripped off somehow. But I got through unscathed. I just wanted you all to know that I will be ordering from them again, and you might find a deal that's almost as good as what I found.
Didn't expect the image to turn so blurry, so if you can't read it... It's a complete copy of Ico for 8.99 the price I paid to buy it online. Sorry for gloating, but I'm just so glad this store came through. I was about to give up and buy a disc only copy for 35 bucks.
One more time for those who want to look around... beindependent.com
and one more edit, for the collectors out there, there was only one sticker on the case which came off very easily and left just a tiny tiny bit of residue that came right off.
