Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why a relatively obscure GBA title released just short of 2 years ago is still selling for full price at every store I've seen it at. Is there something remarkable about this game that warrants such value retention?

It's first party distributed. Along the same lines, I have been waiting for F-Zero GP Legend to drop for what feels like FOREVER. May have to just suck it up at some point.

BTW, Colin McRae 2.0, though on the uncommon side, is much better than Top Gear. Less arcadey, yes, but very close to the PSX titles.

I got Top Gear Rally a long time ago at The Real Canadian Superstore for $10 Cdn, and F-Zero GP Legend is $19.83 Cdn at Superstore right now.

EB had it for just $10 for the longest time. Not sure if they still do...

And Top Gear Rally was allegedly part of the recent $10 clearance at Circuit City, but I sure as hell didn't see any copies at the many stores I checked. If anybody in Southwest MI has spotted a copy at a nearby store, let me know. Heh.

Ebgames.com did a sale a few weeks ago it was $4.99, saw this on cheapassgamer.com

Also, I checked EB B&M, SOME stores have it new for $12.99, but I went to another and it was $29.99.

So it will come down eventually! Keep your eyes peeled!

I always see it for the same price too! I can NEVER find decent GBA games on sale. I know the reason of cartridges costing more but damn, there is like 30 GBA games I HAVE to pick up but probably won't until the new GB comes out, whenever that may be?? They'll go down a little then.
