Persona 3 question

[mailman187666]

Just wanted to know if Persona 3 is out of print or if they are still shipping copies of the game out. I just found a couple of sealed copies at a K-Mart near my work and picked one up because I noticed its slightly going up in value. So are these newly shipped copies or is the K-Mart I go to just not good at moving thier game stock?

Also on a side note, an army recruiter was looking in the games department and was trying to get me to sign up for the army as I was buying Persona 3. Claimed he was "looking for Call of Duty 4". I told him I'm not interested because people telling me what to do makes me mad. Just thought I'd add that as a side note on my trip to K-Mart.

most likely just the usual K-mart lack or ability to move product...I've gotten quite a few good deals on games they dropped to clearance.

Yeah, I think it's just because not many buy their games from K-Mart, so they'll have a lot of older stuff that's sold out everywhere else. I just picked up Persona 3 from K-Mart a couple weeks ago. Paid full price, which is something I rarely do but since all the other stores I checked were sold out and sealed copies are selling for $70-$80 on Ebay, I didn't mind.

I almost bought it at K-Mart but the dood working there told me it was $60 I think he wanted it. Under a week later it was gone and it was sitting there for MONTHS!

Yea, my K-mart had 1. Although I was there the friday before and there were none. So I waited a few weeks, cause I though they sold the others quickly. 3 weeks later it was still there. So I bought it.

My local Sears had two copies of this game, brand new, at MSRP ($50). They looked like they'd been there for months... which is odd, the game is out of stock everywhere else locally.

At meijers a couple of weeks ago they had it on clearance for 29.99. i purchased the last 2 copies.

i would think if they were clearancing them that there are no more shipments coming in.

Man, you're lucky. Last month I drove all over town and must have hit up 7 or 8 different Meijer's stores looking for one of those clearance copies. Every single one I went to was sold out. That's when I bit the bullet and bought one at full price from K-Mart.

I did manage to find a Karaoke Revolution Country for $10, which was a sweet find. Still would have loved to find one of those $30 Persona 3's though.

I hopped on this bandwagon months ago and have bought everyone I have run across lately to re-sell. I've had about 15 sealed copies in recent months that I've made a nice return on. The Meijer clearance really paid dividends...

I found my copy at Sears too. I didn't have any luck finding a clearance copy at Meijer. :( But at least I found a copy. It's amazing this game went OOP so fast. Sure it happens to Atlus games all the time, but I wasn't expecting it this quickly.

I just picked up two at Kmart as well. Does anyone know if it would be possible to have them price-match to the Meijer clearance price?

No. Stores won't price match clearance items.

[Dreamc@sting]

I'm surprised Sears hasn't clearenced them out yet, if they aren't yet im sure they will be soon. When I worked there I made a killing :P

I picked up my copy on release day, before it was cool.

So did I. Even worse...I bought it to play! All this time I could've made $10 profit. Big time.

Hey, for some of us the only way to afford games is to buy and sell. I can't justify a $50 purchase, but I really want this game. So I buy an extra to sell and hopefully make back some money. If not, then I'll sell them both. It's the only way I can enjoy the games I want to play.

Easy there. I sell games on ebay from time to time too. Nothing wrong with that. This thread just reads kind of funny to people who actually like playing the game.

[mailman187666]

I bought the game when it first came out, and I was playing the game a little last night. I also picked up that sealed copy to hold onto. I thought copies of this were as good as gone but people are still finding them. I probably won't sell the sealed one for a long time so its going to sit on my shelf with the strategy guide for it.

I got mine at gamestop and got the final gutted copy with tape on the out box (which rips the color off the box if removed...) but I wanted to play the game anyway so I bought it (since I had not seen one anywhere else yet). I couldent get into it as hard as I tried, I didnt hate it infact I like it, but I know the game is a big time sink taking like 60-70+ hoursto beat and I knew I would never beat it so its back on the shelf.

[Fearless]

I also found 2 minty fresh copies at KMART. Going tomorrow to another Kmart across town to see if I can score a couple more.:devilish:
