    it had a short print run and I think it was the first SMT game to come out on PS2. I bought mine from a Strawberries for $35 about a year and a half ago. Check other used CD stores and all that, ou may find one for around the $30 range. It is definatly a good game and is worth the money.

    Simple economics...

    Low supply (a single small print run, never reprinted).

    High demand (one of the best JRPG's for the PS2, well known ebay cash cow).

    If Atlus can do 3 reprints of Disgea, why can't they reprint SMTN? Is it a licensing issue? Seems like Atlus ends up reprinting just about every semi-popular title in their catalog, so it strange that they haven't touched this one yet.

    The SMT series is an original Atlus IP, so they could reprint it all they want, but it's still not going to happen.

    Atlus (USA) has never reprinted a game in their catalog except Disgaea...which isn't even an Atlus game. The reprints were done at the request of the original developer Nippon Ichi (before Nippon Ichi America existed). This is the official company line from the Atlus.com forums.

    I remember someone saying it was a 3rd party doing those reprints.

    Didn't Nocturne already have a reprint? Or did Atlus just stop making them without the CD after awhile?
