Is this true?

I read in a book (guinness world records gamers edition 2008) today that only 396 copies of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (N64) were made. Can anyone confirm this? If it's true i'll buy a couple.

Well, if it is true, where would you but a "couple" at?

...and at what prices!?

It is a truth that this is a terrible topic title that lends no clues to its contents. I'll grant you that much.

I found 49 copies for sale between two websites. I really doubt that there were less than 400 made.

It's only worth about $10 loose, so it's probably not worth picking up multiple copies.



Edit: According to Vgchartz, 60,000+ copies were sold in the US.

Considering that there were around 30,000 copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga made in the US, I'd wager that any game made with a print run in the low-hundreds would be EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND unless it was some kind of ultra-indie title.

I did some searching and found another person citing the Guiness Book of World Records for this statistic. IT SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY MAJOR ERROR ON THEIR PART. Either that or they're referring to a "Special Iceland-Exclusive Pre-Order Edition" or something like that. I'm assuming it's just an error though.

I've seen too many copies in the wild for that number to be true.

I need to import this game before it goes up in price!

They're probably talking about in the UK. Not North America...

Edit: Oh according to Wikipedia, it never came out in the UK for the N64. Weird, I could have sworn it had.

To summarize....
