The GameQuest Direct Reprints Thread - Fatal Frame 2 & 3 (PS2) Confirmed - FF2 $30 AC

[quote name='mxpowar']Exactly! The whole idea of reprints is to be able to purchase hard-to-find games like PS1 RPGs.[/QUOTE]

No, no it's not. It's to make money. The reason they aren't reprinting more PS1 games is because Gamestop won't accept them anymore, and Atlus and Konami is charging them more money than they'd make selling the copies.

Notice how all of the new reprints (except Suikoden V) are Capcom games...
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']As I've said before, I believe what they reprint has a great deal to do with what they can bait Gamestop into making a bulk purchase of to sell as used.[/QUOTE]


i wonder how much they charge to gamestop. I would think they would find enough resellers on ebay to make pacts with as well if gamestop wouldnt take them

I mean take a major game everyone wants for 50

they had to sell those ps1 games to gamestop for 20 (i mean they were selling them for 29.99 used so they paid a lot less then that)


im sure you would find a ton of powersellers on ebay that would be more then happy to pay 25 bucks to resell for 40
 
I appreciate GQD giving advance notice on reprints. Would appreciate even more notice and am hoping the early notifications continue.

to add to that, i think everyone would appreciate it more if they listened to what everyone is suggesting to reprint. i wouldnt be surprised to see Code Veronica and RE4 (when it goes OOP) to also get reprinted by GQD.
 
[quote name='Josef']Any idea if the RE and RE0 reprints will be of the Player's Choice variety or non-PC variety?[/QUOTE]
Excellent question - any chance someone from GQD could answer it?

you really cant compare selling to one company that has thousands of stores with individual ebay reseller.
 
After thinking it over, I take back my vote for Suikoden II. Getting that game or any game older than last generation (2001-2006) reprinted isn't very realistic. And as a few others said before me, it doesn't seem like GQD is even reading this thread. So, my throw-away vote will go to Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

depends on how many copies they are looking at dumping.


many powersellers would be happy to buy 10,000 or 20,000 copies of a game they knew they could double the profits in a month

Buy 10,000 copies of this gamef or 20 and resell at 40.

find 10 powersellers and that is probally more copies then gamestop got (100,000 copies)
 
i think they would probably charge gamestop about the same amount they have em on sale right now if not slightly cheaper. if they are selling these games (REmake & RE0) for $39.99 at "their suggested retail price" then they gotta be making so much more money. granted that probably about 30% to 40% of the profit goes to capcom, thats still alot. i would say my best guess as to how many they've printed is probably around 20k if not less. maybe capcom gave them a limited number.

Powersellers won't buy that many copies. Hell, billion dollar companies (Walmart, Target, ect) don't buy that many copies of most games. The number of power sellers that would be willing, let alone able, to buy $200,000 or more worth of one game on the off-chance that they could unload every single copy for double the price is nil. "double their profits in a month"? you think that someone could unload 10,000+ copies of an old PS1 RPG on ebay in one month? Thats high fantasy.
 
[quote name='nwaugh']Excellent question - any chance someone from GQD could answer it?[/quote]

+1. This is pretty much the difference between me buying both of those titles or scoffing at the scraps GQD has given us thus far.
 
[quote name='OnChkMnDS']I want electroplanton to be reprinted[/quote]

usually the big N does their own reprints, which is better imo.
 
Awesome, I would like non-PC Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to complete my collection of RE games on the Cube. Thanks, GQD!

And if they're PC copies, screw it.

I agree. I got like 200-250 copies of Dark Alliance II for the playstation 2 to sell. There's a point where if you put too many, then the value decreases, and if you sell them just right, they'll maintain most if not all the value. I was only able to sell about 100 copies of Dark Alliance II a month before the value started dipping. At best you can only 40 a month if you want to keep the value at tip top shape.

do you have any more? you can easily sell them for $100 a piece now :)
 
[quote name='phear3d']do you have any more? you can easily sell them for $100 a piece now :)[/quote]

I still have over a hundred of them. And they're disc only unfortunately. I wish they were complete so I could rake in a lot more.
 
I'm not going to piss and moan about old PS1 titles not getting reprinted, since that seems a bit unrealistic to me at this point.

Some titles I'd like to see reprinted are:

For PS2
---------
Fatal Frame 1, 2, and 3
Skygunner
Monster Rancher 3 and 4
Ring of Red
 
are there no gamequest direct deals this week? i was really looking forward to snagging monster hunter freedom.

MR 3 & 4 are still available new on the aftermarket. MR 4 is usually around $50 (it's original retail MSRP). A reprint would probably be sold at $40 or so. Not a lot of savings there. A new Ring of Red's value hasn't soared much. Skygunner is not hard to get new or used.

The only ones that have climbed in value are the FF 1, 2 and 3 you mentioned. I wouldn't mind a reprint for those. A reprint would have substantial savings for the consumer over the original product.

What I find strange is the superior XBOX versions being so cheap compared to the PS2 counterparts.

dont bother giving them ideas for reprints.. they wont listen.[/QUOTE]

Let's be fair - publishers probably aren't breaking down GQD's door trying to get their stuff reprinted. Companies have opportunities to do this, at minimal risk, through GQD, or through rereleases (blame Konami for not releasing a US version of Suikoden 1&2 on PSP) - yet they don't.

I'm not interested in these titles, but it's a two-way street of negotiation here if we're going to start doling out the blame.

they already reprinted Persona 2, they rereleased VP for psp, and they wont ever reprint the others.

thats so gay cause u can get FF2 for under $30 used on Ebay...even though id like to have sealed copies of these games, eh. not worth the $50 to me.

it shouldnt rly bring down the value of FF2 sealed since the first print had a white sticker on it while FF3 didnt
 
Einhander for PS1
Thousand arms would be great to.

I'm just syced about Fatal frames, a friend of mine borrowed them and moved to Alaska... :(

WOW..

FF II retail for 49.99

Bigger WOW retail for FFIII for 69.99


I thought this was to bring gaming to the masses... I wonder how much they are going to sell it for. I guess I'll have to wait and see on Thursday.
 
I was thinking about that too, but I'm down to my last FFIII sealed from the great TRU blowout 2 Christmas' ago (had 5 at one point; sold none on eBay, traded all to other gamers)

I don't think it matters that much. It's limited quantity, whatever the hell that means, and it's a very niche game. I'll keep mine to trade someday but this won't tank the value.
 
Just once, I wish GQD would reprint a game that I don't already have. Why can't they reprint Fatal Frame 1??? They're doing 2 & 3, so why skip that one?

LOL i first took FF as final fantasy. was going to say who in the hell is paying 70 for final fantasy 3
 
[quote name='eau']$70 for FF3?! How is it different from buying direct from ebay? Both are rip-offs.[/quote]

"The games will be reintroduced to the marketplace on 2/28 at $49.99. GQD will be holding an exclusive 48 hour sale for CAG members from 3/4-3/5 for one of the games. Coupon code will be announced next Monday on CAG."
 
so what exactly is the pricing scheme?

i tossed my used copy up for $42.99 today and it sold pretty much instantly. I only did this because I thought they were selling the game for $49.99 in 2 days and I wanted it gone before prices started to drop. Are they selling it for more than this?
 
There site says $49.99 for FF2 and $69.99 for FF3 but the prices could change when it comes back in stock. Also CAG gets a discount.

I'm amazed most CAGs haven't figured this out on their own yet.

I have FF2... sucks it's going to be reprinted because I was thinking of selling it as I couldn't find the other two games.

But now it sucks even more since I can get the 3rd one now but not the first. Why couldn't they get all three reprint instead of 2 & 3?:whistle2:?

i see your point. but to be honest, how can a company asks for suggestions on what titles we wanted to see reprinted and none of them saw the light of day or even a slight explanation... its impossible to print some of them, that i understand. we didnt even receive a single comment on the thread from them. it goes to saying that they barely even cared. they won cags back but they're slowly loosing us again.
