Random Gaming Thoughts

I hate it when sellers list the condition of a game as "used".

Sometimes when I list something on eBay the ONLY options it gives me are "new" or "used" instead of the usual "Acceptable" "Very Good" etc. I am not sure what triggers one classification over the other, but it may not be the seller's fault.

Also when they say it's RARE but it's as common/uncommon as an Atari 2600 cartridge

The mention of Gamecube prices going up in another thread inspired me to check on the going rate of Wind Waker, since I still don't have it. I knew it had gone from being a $20 game to a $30 one, but apparently it's gone from that to $50 just in the last six months.

Why oh why did I not buy it earlier? I always figured TP would be the more expensive of the two GCN Zeldas, since it sold far fewer. Well, maybe the price will drop sometime. *crosses fingers*

TP is such an odd one. Most people seem to forget it even exists. I imagine its price is being kept down thanks to how common the Wii version is.

I'm suprised how much Gamecube prices have jumped... Wind Waker especially, for whatever odd reason. Luckily, I already have Wind Waker and the OOT Master Disc. Sadly though, I have a Greatest Hits Version.

My TP is disc only.

That has been what's kept me away from pretty much any Nintendo-made title on the GC so far. I can get third party titles (even 2 at a time) for $10 or less. Any Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Whatever? $20 and up.

Metroid? Really? Mario and Zelda can be a bit pricy here, but the Prime games are like £5.

I don't know about other places, but the GC Metroid games are still under $10. Or, at least around here they are. The most expensive game I'm still looking for is Tales of Symphonia, which is around the $40-50 range. My local store, however has somehow acquired 2 copies of it. I've built up a couple of 25% off coupons from them, and the store allows you to combine them, so some day soon I'm going to go over there and grab one of those suckers.

I still need Pikmin as well. But I may opt for the Wii version of that.

What bugs me is when an auction is "LIKE NEW" and then the description says "CARTRIDGE ONLY - in LIKE NEW CONDITION!" or "No case or manual, but looks like it was never played!"
