Sorry for the bump, but i found a copy of Scrabble DS at my local game store complete for $35. Do you guys think this is a good deal? some of the online prices for it are ridiculous.

*spits*....Wha....What?! Scrabble now?! Was it dipped in gold, encrusted with blood diamonds, and every copy personally kissed by the Queen of England herself? I'm sorry for sounding kinda dickish, no offense meant you, but....Scrabble? I'm calling :bullshit: :bullshit: :bullshit: on Ebay sellers.

Yeah it just seems like an odd title to be expensive, that's why I was wondering whether or not it was worth it

For some reason Scrabble is a $30-$40 game, no idea why as other versions of Scrabble are still cheap.

There are only 3 explanations for it...
1)It is actually rare (hard to believe)
2)It is an extremely sought after title with a high demand (not likely)
3)The internet is crazy (well.... yeah)

4) The ol' Snake Oil scam. Say a game is "rare", have a few shills from the interweb audience "vouch" it's "authenticity" by jacking up the prices in a few auctions here or there, and have every overzealous/paranoid collector buying up copies fear of paying "too much". Oh the irony.

I'd the Atelier Annie box set with the figurines is something to desire, it had a print run of only 550. I'd also keep an eye out for the DS games that originally came with pack in soundtracks including

SMT Strange Journey
Knights in the Knightmare
YS I and II
The Dark Spire
Luminous Arc 2
Radiant Historia

Also keep an eye on the Etrian Odyssey series, i bet you could fetch a pretty penny with all 3 games

We can add Solatorobo: Red the Hunter to the list of special edition packing with a soundtrack CD. Does anybody know its print run? I made a point to pick it up a couple months back because I loved Tail concerto and read it would likely end up as hard to get...
