hats going on with this game's stock shortages? i can't find it anywhere

Amazon,GAME,Gamestation,Shopto,Gamestop (who have it cheapest at £27) all have it as out of stock, Play has it listed as not released until 25th Jan 2012 :hmm:

 

 

EDIT: LOL just checked ebay, cheapest was £55 most expensive was £99

:laughing:

I've never understood why Namco games (and some Capcom ones) have such a small print run, when there is always more demand for them, without fail. All that happens is that people who want it have to pay full price for a 2nd-hand one, whereas if they printed more, Namco would get all the money.

I've been aware of these stock shortages for a while now and have been trying to acquire a copy but to no avail... it's a long-shot but if anyone happens to have the game - or a second copy of it - then I'd be willing to trade my second copy of Xenoblade Chronicles for it.

 

No big deal if not, I'll just keep checking online until I manage to get one. :)

I've not played much of my copy, but then again I've had fuck all spare time lately with work, studying, books and Mario Kart. I'm glad I've had experience with Bandai Namco printing issues before, because I knew I had to pre-order it straight away to be assured a copy.

 

All I can suggest to the guys still looking is to choose one very reliable website and pre-order/stock alert it. To be fair to the guys, there isn't a very large market for Tales games compared to the other big RPG titles and there isn't a digital distribution method available to them.

It's sold out everywhere, I think very few retail stores are actually stocking it. Play.com has preorders for 27th January, I'm guessing that when they're expecting a second shipment.

 

I don't think the game will be easy to find in 3 months, probably impossible after 6. It's hard to get now.

well i had a stock notification from GAME at 10.08pm saturday night, i didn't check my emails until 10am sunday....... No stock on GAME, they surely didn't sell out that fast? surely its ebay scalpers buying them now to make a fast buck?

 

might pre-order on play and shopto in hopes of eventually getting a copy

Anyone who thought there would much in the way of stock for the game were clearly unfamiliar with the history of Tales of... games in Europe.

 

I tried 5 different stores on the day of release and none had them in so as soon as I got home, I just placed an order straight away on the only place I saw as having any stock - which was Amazon. I don't even know why I took the chance really - my local GAME stores have never stocked any of the games in the series.

 

I've not played it yet but it's good to know it's safe in my hands.
