It's only been out for two months for consoles and it's already been at Gamestop(just looked it's back up to $40.) It's out of stock at the two closest Gamestops to me, listed as low stock everywhere else and still available online. So for consoles, I'd say it'll be rare or atleast very uncommon once they completely sell out at other retailers.Originally Posted by kai123
I wouldn't jump on it yet though, I'd wait for it to hit $20 again or starts to become harder to find everywhere.

Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
The only reason many Gamestops are out of stock of Wasteland 2 is that they discounted it to $30 on Black Friday and sold through a lot of their copies. The game is easily found in most Best Buy and Target locations among other retailers. Devil's Third on the other hand sold out on launch day and other than a tiny couple of Amazon restocks, hasn't been in stock anywhere consistently since. While the 420 copies number is BS, the game was clearly only printed in a very limited manner and was not carried in any major chains other than Gamestop and only available if you preordered at Best Buy. As such, unless there is another print run, I would expect this game not to get any cheaper over time.
Bloodborne The Old Hunter's Asia version is rare. It may be able to be found at other Japanese outlets, but I just bought the last copy at Play Asia which now states "out of stock/out of print." Was only out for a little more than a month, now it won't be able to be found soon. The UK version is also available as Bloodborne Game of the Year edition. Now I'm wondering if I should play it or keep it sealed until prices sky rocket like they did with Soul Sacrifice Delta Asian English version.

*edit* Seems it's back in stock. May or may not be out of print thought.

I fail to see the rarity in this title. Finding it in stock a few places and game stop is out here but able to ship a new copy to my house
Temporarily rare, or just localized rare for a time?
I remember when the DS was rolling in its prime Namco as you know are fairly advertising, distribution, and supply stupid unless it's one of their Pac-Man things or arcade fighter based stuff. They released Point Blank DS and it took me almost a month to find it in town here a decade ago. Gamestop didn't even list it as existing (no SKU), other main game stores like TRU, Target, BB never really had a clue either or it was listed but never in stock on/offline thinking it never shipped. Namco said it was out there, eventually I decided to start trying second tier stores like those movie/game/misc places and of all of them ripoff FYE in the mall had it, ONE copy, only one in the entire county and I snapped it up at regular price. It took another month or two before I saw another new copy at retail. Very weird, but after that point I started seeing it all over the place, not in huge supply but like a few copies at each store. Maybe this game is going around similar to that since M games aren't really things Nintendo likes to advertise them having a hand in.
I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing that this game is on the most undesirable system of this generation. The majority of people trying to get it now are people who just want it because it's hard to find. The price may stay high for awhile if it still doesn't get a proper restock but the availability of the digital version should keep it from getting out of control. There may be some renewed interest in it next gen if the NX ends up being backwards compatible with Wii U games but even then there's still the option of releasing it digital on that platform as well, depending on the details specified in Nintendo's contract for distribution of the game.
Slightly off topic, has anyone played Alien: Isolation and if so what did you think about it? The digital version is on sale this week for $7.50 alone or for $10 with all 7 DLC packs. Even though I prefer physical copies I was wondering if it was worth a purchase.

ALL HAIL THE 1 2 P
Really? Where? Other than Amazon, the physical version hasn't been available anywhere online since launch. Also, Gamestop hasn't been able to do ship in store since before release. Al of the people I know on other forums who have placed such a store to home order received a cancellation call shortly thereafter. I got my copy from Best Buy because I preordered it, but this is clearly a game that is hard to purchase right now at MSRP.
I had a feeling I should've preordered the FE Fates LE as soon as it was announced. Local GameStop told me their stock was claimed within two weeks.
It's stupid to pay double usual 3DS price, but even stupider to be able to get the same game content for the same price through DLC without the physical extras.
A month later, the prices are down on eBay. Those who bought this for over $100 should have waited.
