One Piece Pirate: Unlimited Adventure- 49.99


I was going to post about this. I found the game over the weekend as well and purchased it. The first thing I did after that was to check the Gamestop inventory checker online and as I expected every store in the area has the game in stock now.

It looks like One Piece is now the next game to receive reprint treatment from Gamestop.

I paid $35 for my original, If that's the case than they're hiking the price to have collectors pay premium for it.

That's what they did with Xenoblade and Metroid Prime.

I picked this up about a month ago.

I was talking to my brother (who works at gameplop) about the nes-themed 3DS. I mentioned that I had been looking for the retro gba sp for years, but I could never find it. As luck would have it, someone walked into gameplop wanting to trade in his retro nes the very next day. My brother told him that Gameplop doesn't take gba stuff anymore, but he knows someone who was looking. But that's not all...

On top of this retro nes gba sp, he also had a whole bunch of gba cartridges - including three pokemon games and four others.

How much did all this cost me? Thirty-five dollars. I'm pretty sure that one or two of those pokemon games would cover my expenses.

My luck with GBA SP's has been horrid. I have purchased 3 in about a year and a half, two have dead pixels and the third has dust,etc under the screen. They are a nightmare.

That X-Men cab is my absolute favorite arcade game ever. Great pickup sir.

Thanks for the heads up that this is getting a reprint courtesy of GameStop. I checked my area, which has barely any wii games left, oddly every single store in a 100 mile radius has it in stock. :?

didn't they also do it with Cave Story and Dokapon Kingdom but those didn't get the case artwork and manuals reprinted though. Atleast with Metroid real collectors know about the tin case and slip cover.

Yes, they reprinted those as well. For some reason, they did cart only on Cave Story. However, Dokapon was a complete reprint but I believe the discs were different similar to the One Piece case.

I only mentioned Xenoblade and MP because Gamestop blatantly raised their used prices once they started selling them. As you mentioned, at least the real collectible version of MP wasn't hurt by this. The irony is that I see tons of MP in the stores around here.
