The Ebay Topic

[BadChad]

Pretty sure I've seen 10 copy's at a local pawn ship for the past year for $8 a piece

That sounds too good to be true. Ive yet to see a single copy used anywhere, let alone 10.

If thats the case, Id gladly pay you full retail price (not ebay) for a used CIB copy if its only gonna cost you $8. Im sure others would too if you can find more than one. Then maybe some of us can actually get a copy of the game without having to pay a rediculous price to someone on ebay (who may have found one for only $8...).

I remember asking a friend about this before it came out, and he misinformed me that this was sapose to be a RPG more similar to the new Final Fantasy games so I never bothered pre-ordering it. Then after a couple months of it beeing released, I find out its actually and awesome Action Adventure RPG and there no where to be found anymore. Bullshit!

What I dont understand is why this game was in such limited quantity. Its clearly a great game and there a huge handful of people out there that still want this so it makes no sense to me why they didnt produce more. Does it not make sense to them to produce more copies so they can make more money off of us, instead of the people making a profit selling them for stupid prices on ebay?

I played this for a spell at my cousins house, I really liked it but never got around to buying it.    I hate when companies do this.

Same thing happened to those yellow Dragon Ball Dvd box sets, and I also remember Avalon Code for the DS did this.  O .... and Ni no Kuni Wizard books are shooting up in price.  Things should not be this collectable right out of the box.

I haven't gotten this game yet. I'm tempted to get a copy before it shoots up even more in value. However, Nintendo, in the past, has been know for doing second runs of games. For example: The Wii Edition of Super Mario All-Stars. It has sold out! It was selling for like $70 on ebay. A few months later, Nintendo reprinted it.

I dont think it will get reprinted at least not a physical copy, maybe eshop. It seemed from the beginning that Nintendo was reluctant to release Xenoblade in NA, But eventually did with the Gamestop/Amazon release. Kinda seems they did not have too much faith in it.


Which is kinda sad because IMO it was the best wii game I played.

The only thing that needs to happen is for GAMESTOP to ask for more copies. The value only shot up for Xenoblade this month. If Gamestop decides they want more copies, we can see more in a month.

You think Gamestop will ask for more Wii games? Im a little apprehensive to think they will, mine is trying pretty hard to get rid of their stock.

man, that sucks. i see it both used and new for pretty cheap nearly all the time round here in PAL country. even tho we got it long before the US we never seem to run out of copies.

Man, I'm glad I bought the game at Gamestop when it came out, I got it day 1, I wish I preorderd  it so I could get the art book. My friend bought a copy a month ago for I think around $60 at a local game store, almost did not get it, he is glad he did.

YAY! I didn't miss out on owning a newer rare title! Got my Xeno from GS used for $35....about a week after purchasing it i realized I needed the manual and was able to buy one for $@ from the nintendo online shop

Hopefully you find a hidden stash of these and can hook us all up.  I also told my cousin to watch his local pawn shops.

I actually put over 150 hours into Xenoblade during the summertime last year, and I loved every minute of it. Don't let that number scare you, though -- I was damn thorough in my play through, as I am a completionist. It was so easy to sink hours into that game though because I enjoyed it so much.
