I think I must have found the last one in all of San Diego county last night. I live in El Cajon and drove all the way to Chula Vista after work. $5 and now I'm set and waiting. No one else had it. It was crazy trying to find one.

Wouldn't a downloaded rom, used on Gateway have the same function?

I reserved 2 copies at different Gamestops in the area yesterday, just to have a backup plan in case one of them fell through. Picked up the one last night and was going to just let the other one go. Just called the other store today and they're still holding it! It's complete too, whereas the one I got last night is not the original case. Going to pick this up after work and probably sell the other one locally.

i picked up 2 copies 1 for 6$ one for 39$. i was worried that the 6$ one would not be shipped but it did anyway. anyone looking for a copy for ~15$ contact me through pm, US only.

I hope no one buys your jacked-up game. It's worth $4.99. You are just trying to either profit from, or break even on, someone else's work.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

wut? 2 copies, one for 6 one for 39 , 39+6=45 , =22.50 per game
how is he "profiting" or breaking even?

 

[CraddaPoosta]

No one forced him to buy a game for $39. No one forced him to purchase more than just the copy that he needed. He had nothing to do with programming or developing the game, nor the exploit. He is just purchasing an item that will be in high demand, relying on desperation to turn a profit, or to cut his losses.

No one should be selling a copy of Cubic Ninja for double what it costs, far less triple, as he suggested.

Why should someone else have to pay $15 for a game that he bought for $6?

 

[omgcat]

i am not profiteering, i just wanted to make sure i got a copy of my game and am selling off my copy for cheep compared to everyone else. if i really wanted to i could have shitted the game on too ebay for 50$.

supply and demand says the game WAS 6$ a few days ago but now its 39.99+, its how markets work.

pm sent if you got it still I'll buy there's not one within 100 miles of me and i don't drive so that's way out of the way to try and find one what id pay in gas anyways evens out for me.

 

[fadeyt]

what really sucks is someone like me that wants to play the game for no known reason lol, that's not interested in messing with the console they have has to play the inflation lol. oh well haha

 

[Saturosias]

I don't see the reason for demonizing those who raise the price of the game to actual market value.

Would you list a car at 12.5% of its market value?

For those in the US and don't mind driving around looking to get a copy, here's a list of store that sells video games that you may not think of:

Kmart
Sears
Big Lots
Kohl's
JC Penny
Macy's
Radio Shack

I was lucky to find a copy at one of the store (and a Wii U game called the Wonderful 101 for $6).

The same day the announcement came out, I reserved a used copy (for $4.99) at my local gamestop. Called today to make sure they still had it and they did - whooo hoooo. I traded in my Mario Kart Wii game (since it was collecting dust) for $10, so received around $5 back in credit. I thought they would have let it go due to demand but maybe I live in an area where 3DS homebrew isn't as popular.

There's also plenty of used copies in stock in my surrounding gamestops (~20-25 miles away) for $4.99

If anyone cares, I live around the Houston area of Texas (U.S.). Hope this helps.

Anyone had any luck finding copies in the UK for non-extortionate prices? Best I've seen is a single copy on CeX for £2.50 that was snapped up AS I was making my purchase, and they've since bumped up the sell price to £60.

"Watch it"?

Or what? LMFAO.

That was adorable of you.

Whether or not something is common is irrelevant. Wrong is wrong. I find it morally reprehensible to try to exploit someone else's work for one's own personal gain, without contributing anything except greed. We're supposed to be a community of gamers looking out for each other, not trying to skim as much off the top as we can.

True, but with the sort of response, I got from you, that's not what I'm getting from you.

I am giving away three copies of Cubic Ninja that I drove more than eighty miles round-trip to acquire last night, completely for free, to GBATemp users who perform a random act of kindness.

Do you require proof? I have proof.

Does it justify the rather mean reply I got from you? Definitely not.

You weren't exactly pleasant in your rejection of my analogy, either, my friend. We've always gotten along just fine before.

I was shocked for said analogy, that's it.
I did not say "what is wrong with you or anything of the sort". With that, I am done disrupting the topic.
