38 OP

[(Anonymous)]

I live in an area that could be best described as the ass-crack of God. Phasing out older games from the shelves to make room for new games is common practice. The nearest video game store is 25 kilometres away, and even they don't specialize in video games, they just offer them alongside music and DVDs. I haven't asked them if they take in used games, but I'm willing to bet the answer is no.

Trawling eBay and online stores for used copies is hard when you don't have a credit card. =/

I could try waiting until the game goes Platinum, then I could get it for cheaper (holy crap, it's like 70€ at the moment). I'm still gunning for the 60 gig PS3 (give me backwards compatibility or give me death!), and I have the patience to wait until its price drops.

Thanks for the encouragement! ♥

D8 Yeah, those circumstances would definitely make it harder.

The 60 gig is the one I got, for that exact reason -- I didn't think there was a point to owning the system if it was missing half of its features, either. SONY apparently is "disappointed" that people mostly aren't wanting the PS3 for PS3 games yet... so they take away the ability to play PS1/PS2, which was selling the system? Yeah, not a wise idea. Unfortunately, the 60 gig hasn't been produced for months, and has been discontinued. Hence my decision to just go for it last week when under normal circumstances I'd planned on getting one when Metal Gear came out (at the end of next year? who knows). Maybe by the time you buy one they'll rerelease a backwards-compatible version? You can replace the harddrive to any size you want without voiding the warranty, so the space that comes with it isn't necessarily an issue.

On the other hand, if you do manage to get a credit card and/or find an online seller that will take (international) money orders or something, in a year/years from now you may well be able to find both for considerably cheaper. The game would probably hang around $35-$50 for a while, even with a used copy; the ones that tend to drop in price quickly are the sports titles, and to some degree, the games that launched with the system.

So. HMM. You're right, you probably won't be able to find it locally if that store is your only option, but SOMEONE out there will be selling their system and/or the game online when you decide to buy them.

I hope that was helpful in the slightest. XD;;; GOOD LUCK ONCE AGAIN ♥ I AM SURE YOU WILL ONE DAY BE REUNITED WITH YOUR LOMBAX BUDDY
