Probably found some boxes in a warehouse somewhere happens all the time, I personally know it has with Shining Force CD (about 300-400 copies), xenogears, Lunar 2 Eternal Blue (around 500 copies about 3 years ago), Rhapsody (on a small scale, were sold through the us playstation site back when they still sold direct at $30 each, also before there was much demand for them), Magic Knight Rayearth for Saturn, etc. etc.
Just order a copy of Rhapsody. Hopefully, it will come. More importantly, I hope this is not a massive reprint where the price will be even lower than $49.
Is Persona 2 any good? I have never play any of the Persona games. Is it a direct sequel to Persona (do I need to play 1 first?) or is it more like the Final Fantasy where every game is a story by itself (with the exception of FFX-2).
Thanks in advance

I just ordered both of them, total came out to $108.73 after UPS Ground shipping. Let's cross our fingers and hope the games come.

i agree, this is very sketchy. Especially since, if more werent on the way, gamequest could easily sell them over time for $100 each. The fact that they are selling them for only $50 could mean they are trying to unload them quickly for maximum profit before more arrive to other retailers at a lower price.

I ordered one of each... guess I'll have to hold off getting a DS for a while.
I've read though this thread and am worried. I'm going to open these as soon as I get them and if there is anything wrong with either game, I'm going to be pissed.
But I don't even know why I bothered paying $108 for both games... I mean, with this new onslaught of copies of Rhapsody and Persona 2, the prices of used copies will fall dramtically. These two games aren't as widely wanted but rather, the small demand outruns the even smaller supply. Even if as little as 50 copies of each is brought to the market, the prices will plummet!
BTW, I doubt this is a reprint... most likely, they found a crate of the games somwhere. But it's fishy that they're selling them for $50 (or $80 on eBay). I think they know this'll bring the prices of the game crashing down and therefore, are selling these in bulk to people (like the guy who purcahsed a whole lot of them). I hope that's not the case.. if it is, I'll feel very stupid paying $54 per game (shipped).

well assuming there are only about 200 copies, that will not cut the price of used ones to below $50 since u would think at least 100 of those would end up in personal collections. And 100 copies of a game wont completely destroy the market value, the reason the resident evil plummet happened is because there were thousands of copies available (and still available). If by the end of tonight there are not any more copies available prices should stay relatively stable (but expect a $20 decrease at least in values of both new and used). However, if more appear tomorrow, expect a drastic drop on ebay.

I ordered one of each, couldn't resist. I have a friend who works at Atlus and he has no idea how someone found all these copies. Atlus doesn't usually do reprints, and their print run is always small. Disgaea was the one exception, because there was such a high demand.
I've played both games and I like them. Rhapsody is really weird and quirky Japanese, and the gameplay is closest to Lunar. It's very song-centric. It's the first game by Nippon Ichi Software (of Disgaea, La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, and Makai Kingdom fame), but it's not a strat/RPG.
Persona series is darker, as an offshoot of Shin Megami Tensei (remember Nocturne for PS2 last year?) It's about teens in an apocalyptic present-time universe. You can negotiate with enemies and get powers from them.

I sure hope that's the case... but at the rate that this place is selling them, you'd think there's more than 200 copies of each game. I just find it strange that they're selling them only for $50. You'd think they'd sell them for at least $80 at the site and $100+ on eBay.

Arg!!! Why didn't anyone mention this before! Could've saved $9 in shipping costs!
[quote name='bdw418']Anyone else's order confirmation e-mail look really weird, with broken tags and the like? I'm sure the store's legit, but, you know, professionalism.[/QUOTE]
That's because they sent an email in html format and your email service doesn't support it. I saw the same thing- I use Yahoo!.
They still have 54 copies of Rhapsody and 74 copies of Persona 2!
? I have to worry now... hopefully, these people aren't pulling a fast one. Now I'm assured... prices will fall as there are others already listing sealed copies of this game.

Um, it was in the original post. And if this is legit, I owe the OP an apology and a cookie.
It's just that usually these deals are from some long defunct website that have nothing in stock.[quote name='Vinny']I sure hope that's the case... but at the rate that this place is selling them, you'd think there's more than 200 copies of each game.

well they started with about 110 rhapsodies i think, so assuming that this is the only website that knows about it, i am not surprised they still have 50 left. Since this is called cheapassgamer i dont think there are many people here that could afford to buy 10+ copies for the purpose of reselling. Hopefully no one posts this to digitpress since all the copies would vanish immediately.

not really if the dude was offered these games for say 25-30 each im sure they would be more then happy to sell them for 50 each and double their investment in 1 day then to hold stock and make more money.

I picked up Persona 2 today finally I was debating about Rhapsody but decided that the game was just a little too fruity for me (as I passed on it when it first came out as well)
I sold both Persona & Persona 2 to make ends meet a few years ago and it feels good to get them back in hand (now Valkyre Profile is next hopefully)

Sorry, couldn't help it... I hate it when that happens. The deal of the century comes and you miss it because you're broke. It's happened to me countless times but I finally got my break... and to think, I was going to bid $80 for a used Rhapsody and $75 for a user Persona 2 last night.
Don't worry, there'll be others.
