More GQD reprints on the way

[norkusa]

According to Cheap Ass Gamer, another batch of Game Quest Direct reprints is on the way. This time it's Fatal Frame II & III for PS2. The bad news is that they're selling them for $50 each, so you're basically paying Ebay prices for them which negates the whole point of the reprint.

The strange thing is that they have Fatal Frame III listed at $69.99 though. CAG mentions a special sale for CAG members, so I don't know if that's what the $50 price is for or if it'll be cheaper than that:

Yeah, I think I'll pass on those. Thanks for the heads up though!

$50 is a bit much for any PS2 game at this point.

Still, anything that gets collectors all pissy, yet puts good games into the hands of more gamers is alright by me. It's a win win IMO.

Seconded on both points.

I think it would be more appropriate at this point to list out the games NOT being reprinted by GQD.

I'd love to pick up Fatal Frame 3, but not for $50.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Holy crap. $50 a pop? WTF are they smoking?

[TonyTheTiger]

They know they can get that for a little while. It'll probably drop a decent amount in not too much time. Plus the used prices will plummet.

Interesting. I've been considering picking both of these up for the past few weeks. Wonder if I should double my efforts to get an original copy or just wait for the inevitible price drop on used. Would be nice to have mint copies, but $50 a pop is just too much.

They aren't smoking, the are freebasing. Its sad, I've seen both those games for $19.99

Hear hear!

My only beef with GQD is that they keep reprinting games that I already own. Of all the games they've reprinted so far, Saiyuki - Journey West was the only one I didn't already have.

When are they going to get to SMT Nocturne? That's one game I wouldn't mind paying $50 for.

[bcks007]

Dang i own those already too. Is that the only 2 games there reprinting?

It figures that GQD won't reprint the Fatal Frame game that's hardest to find, at least in this neck of the woods.

[Leo_A]

Isn't this typical GCQ practice? Sell copies at high prices after a reprint and when demand softens, dump the rest at retailers like GameStop?

Could mean we could be picking up cheap copies of Fatal Frame 2 and 3 later in the year.

Yeah, that doesn't really make any sense. Why not print FF1 if they're going to reprint 2 & 3? FF2 isn't even that hard to find either, so it'd make more sense if they were doing 1 & 3.

And of course, Fatal Frame 1 is the only one of the three that I don't already own.

Right on.

Fucking collectors.

[TonyTheTiger]

Do I sense some animosity?

[udisi]

well at $50 a piece they aren't really helping out the gamer here. Pretty mush just screwing the collector. Atleast we know the price will come down a bit eventually, but really I see GQD as trying to take advantage of the uninformed collector rather than helping the gamer
