Jeez, why is this game so hard to find?

[Chimeria]

Well people...I finally found an official Xbox wireless router but now my other problem is that I can't find the game. I tried Gamestop, GameCrazy, Circuit City and Wal-Mart but none of the stores in my area had it. Is this game rare now or something? When did this happen.

I was thinking of ordering it but a brand new one on amazon is 59.99. Ebay even the complete game (case, manual, etc) for like 39.99. For an almost 3-year old game, why is still high-priced? wtf?

That's how the makers of gaming systems get their ass out of the hole. The software. They take the hit on the system itself, and you're left face down and ass up buying up the software. That's just the way it is :/

dont ask us ask sega

[Chaos320]

Have you tried Gamestop's website? www.gamestop.com. They might have it on there but im not sure. Being at work on a 15 min break i really cant look right now xD

[ashley50]

Sega realized no one's bending over backwards for them anymore and they stopped printing the game.

[Dragwind]

It seems like limited copies were produced for the US. Your best bet is probably ordering it online.

[garjian]

theres loads round here... why not move to bradford?

[Lady Kuja]

I had the same problem when I needed to order the PS2 expansion.
Nowhere had it. Had to get it on amazon.

I'm in Ohio and I found mine at Gamestop for 20

[gratefulgriz]

thanks for clarifying

The game fucking sucks, that's why it's so hard to find. Once people's copies start breaking down then Sega's up a shit creek.

O_o It's not that bad. Sure it can be difficult earning meseta and finding a decent party but it's still quite fun.

I meant hard to find in stores. A while back I remember a few stores in my area carrying the game now every store I go to is sold out and online stores like ebay and amazon are over-pricing a 3-year old game.

I had to go to the Gamestop website and buy it from there...16.89 with my discount card. It came out to be $26 bucks with 1-day shipping :/

[The Praetor]

I found a new copy on eBaY for $19.99 plus shipping =D

[Chimeria]

WHHHHHHHAAAAAAT?!
When did this happen? Man...whatever, I've already got the game on it's way here anyway.

[Sinue_v2]

Play the PC version.

Download the torrent.

If you feel bad, send $50 to them later. I normally don't endorse piracy, but the game isn't being sold new anymore IIRC, and I'm sure Sega would rather you find a means of getting the game and paying them a monthly fee than to pay someone else to play their games which are available in stores.

[DarkEliteRico]

Thought they stopped production for the game about a year ago. Most copies are left overs or are used, best bet is to find online. Out of 5 local game shops I've only found 2 copies for sale

Floating around here are the official downloads for the client for PSU and AotI, yeah it seems like SEGA is just trying to get people to pay for memberships vs. the actual game now

[Chimeria]

LOL! This game isn't hard. I have over stack, a great Gunmaster palette (I'm 150/20 Gunmaster, btw), and I have 19 people on my card list that I can run with if I feel like. I'm not gonna run with anyone any time soon because I'm hunting a Milla, something you probably don't know what the hell is.

Wow aren't you cool...And i actually do know what a Milla is. I was a PSO player since it was released on the dreamcast. Good luck with that.

[BFGfreak]

My wal-mart has tons of copies, I guess it's just distribution.

[Gibdozer]

umm... ebay, but dont scuff it at all, Im on my third copy! cheap manufacturing or my own carelessness?

[Xefi]

i happen to stop by Fryz Electronic in Cali and
saw tons of copies of PSU for ps2 ($29.99) and
PC (forgot the price). Too bad i didn't need one...
just a heads up for anyone that still wants a copy.

[RemiusTA]

Why is this game so hard to find?

Because it sucks.




...no, like, seriously. Its an MMORPG that nobody has, buys, or knows about, Its 3 years in the hole already and was never advertised, Its P2P, PSO wasnt that widely popular yet PSO fans are the only ones who know of it, A 4th of those are the only people who still care for it, and to top it off, both IGN AND Gamestop gave it shitpoor ratings.


This game sucks. Its quite obvious SoJ didnt give 2 shits about the games success over here when it was released, because they didn't even try to make us care about it.

[Brainwrecked]

Because it sucks.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. The game play concept is definitely unique and arguably great. It's the execution that has completely sucked. Online RPG's live and die by the service they get from the parent company. Drip-fed content, rollbacks, and hack-ish patches for bugs and exploits do not make for great service.


...was never advertised...
...SoJ didnt give 2 shits about the games success over here...

Quite true.

TL;DR content follows

[SPOILER-BOX]When Sega gets their act together and releases some new content (and maybe sans rollback this time?) I'll be back. I suspended in November and I have a whopping 1 online mission, 1 story mission, and some S2s of previous missions (which doesn't count in my book as new content) to look forward to upon my return so far. Big whoop.[/SPOILER-BOX]
