How rare...is Rhapsody for PSX??

[Greatsaintlouis]

Alien Workshop had the same idea as I did, actually. Granted, this 'postal service' is still a relatively new and untested technology, but simulations run in the think-tanks that developed it have pegged it as reasonably dependable and timely. :smt043

[Mr. Casual]

Would you get it for me, GSL?
I need $30 in cash, first.

[Greatsaintlouis]

Sure, I'll pick it up next time I'm in. It's been on the back shelf forever as someone was listening to the music CD while stocking things, and it never got put back out on the floor, so it's not going anywhere soon.

[Mr. Casual]

Ok, we can settle the rest of this on PMs. Thanks for the help!

[Roi]

Get one (or more offcourse;) ) for $50 !

[Mr. Casual]

Hey, GSL you need to clean out your PM box. I have been sending you a lot of them and have been getting no replies.

[Bluehaze]

Not rare just expensive.

[AntiPasta]

Ah yes, another game that escapes my collection. It is a bit hokey, but the story and action are great.

I will agree this game isn't very common, but I wouldn't call it 'rare'. That stores reminds me of a place in NYC called J&L Game Trading. They have tons of great stuff, but their prices are outrageous. They mark everything up, and most of the people there are assholes, so I don't frequent it anymore.


^_^_^

Aaasrghh! Don't mention J&L! :smt071
Oh and talk about Rhapsody being queer and wrong: clickety

[Greatsaintlouis]

The only thing queer and wrong about that photo I'm seeing is the fact that it won't load past the tops of three heads, one of which is apparently brandishing a sword. :smt009

[Mr. Casual]

My Gamestop has about 2 used Rhapsody's that I know of, now. They're about $29.99...

[ASSEMbler]

Gamestop by me has one for $38

[The VGM]

It got a reprint, it's not worth anywhere near what it used to be.

[Mr. Casual]

When did this happen?

[The VGM]

2-3 months ago. Why do you think that website has new copies?

[Mr. Casual]

The Gamestop store near where I live has 2 used copies of it. Vintage Stock was a pawn shop for video games (sucky one, too). What site has new copies??

Gamestop got the new copies and opened them and sold them as used. If you ask to see them they will probably be minty fresh. People bought a bunch of new ones from that site and then were upset when they had no security label (Playstation 1 and 2 games arent made with them anymore).

[Mr. Casual]

Cool, I need to order some other PS games I want from there, too.

[Sally]

A little birdy told me that these aren't reprints, but non-defective returns. Basicly they were sent back to the manufacturer for reasons other than defect, were repackaged, and resold.

[XerdoPwerko]

I wish Valkyrie Profile would get a reprint like this too... I'd so get Breath of Fire Four from that site, too, if they ship to Mexico

[Greatsaintlouis]

How bizarre. The Gamestop near me magically got 2 copies each of Persona 2 and Rhapsody, and 3 of Breath Of Fire IV. Bastards still saw fit to mark the prices up on all of them, though - $39.99 for Rhapsody and $24.99 I think for BOF4 and Persona 2.
That reminds me - I was in there the other day and counted no less than 5 copies of Xenogears on the shelf - all but one of which were marked up to $34.99. It used to be, you shopped at the physical gamestores because you didn't want to deal with the eBay markup bullshit because something is 'rare'. It was always nice to find some gem for half of what you'd pay online. But when the gamestores start price matching eBay... well, there's not much incentive to shop there anymore, is there.

And wasn't Xenogears re-released by Square really recently at the normal Greatest Hits price of $19.99 anyways?
