It's weird - I see the crazy prices for Ocarina, but don't understand why. It's regularly in stock at local stores (still at $40 CAD+tax, which seems high for an old game... but whatever) and has been in-and-out of stock online from multiple sites. A quick check shows that the local Walmart still has copies right now.

Maybe people don't know they can just wait and get a better price, or maybe they don't care?

I bought a complete, used copy of LoZ: Ocarina of Time 3D today for $20. The fact that its price on the secondary market far exceeds this amount makes me very happy. :lol:

ejamer -- impatience and ignorance I think. If you create the impression of something being scarce or gone on the primary market, many people will just believe it without looking. Also perhaps the Canadian shelves are better stocked with it as you don't find that at Walmart around here in any notable numbers.

prfsnl -- Wherever you got it for that, good job, saved yourself like $60.

Mostly because it is a port, and I'd imagine the majority of those who are interested in it have already played it.

Bought my copy today. There's lots more Atlus love coming our way this year too on the 3DS.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Yeah, it's just too soon for me to want to play this game again. I put 130 hours into the Wii game only a few years back, and there's not much new in the 3DS version.

Plus the 3DS version is a downgraded port from everything I've read, plus it can only be played on the New 3DS, etc.

Any word on Final Fantasy Explorers localization? I always seem to enjoy the FF spin-offs.

More Atlus? What is it?

Yeah, I missed the game the first time around and by the time I was trying to get a copy it was $90 for a used disc or more. So this is my first experience of the game. I am only a few hours in (still in Colony 9 doing side quests) but it's pretty cool so far.

But yeah, the game is a blurry and jaggy mess. Still, I am glad to have an opportunity to play the game.
