I'm less sure. Dragon's Lair is on basically every system ever made, ever, so i can't imagine this version would be in especially high demand.
Could be right due to so many releases. I think the Wii version might be worth getting not for the money value, but for having the best playability and faithful video to the Laser Disc original. The best feature unlike the Arcade; there is no pause at all as the game progresses. The disc access is done just right for a seamless game.

Is it actually selling for around $100? The gamestop near me still has three unopened copies, and two open copies.
I've seen auctions with 12+ bids go for $110+

Those are not sealed either.

It really sucks for those who didn't get it when it came out. Luckily I preordered my copy and got the artbook. The other day i saw an auction end at $184.92 on ebay for the game + artbook :shock:

Hmm... It's been quite time since I've been to a Game Stop/Game Crazy. I think it's time for a visit.
This is where I found most of my .hack// collection, just chillin in a bin. All the games were CIB, and the discs didn't have a scratch on them. The clear plastic on the cases were a bit rough though...

Might also be time to get my Wii back. I ended up giving to somebody else because ther wasn't anything I wanted to play on it that I couldn't play on my PS3. Really regretting my decision to just toss it aside like that.

Congrats on the find! :D

Thank you, Got some early gift cards so out of pocket, I think i paid around 7 bucks.
I had encountered another one in the wild but was in really rough shape and disk only. I am also picking up Dokapon Kingdom tonight!
It's turning out to be a really good birthday!
