Title: Help: looking for Ys I & II Chronicles Limited Edition
Post by: BadEnoughDude on August 15, 2012, 06:26:44 PM
Figured I'd see if any of you fine folks could help me out. I'm trying to track down a new copy of Ys I & II Chronicles Premium Edition for the PSP. The problem is that it's impossible to find for less than $50 online, and usually more than that.

GameStop still lists it on their site, and sell it for $20. Only one local store was shown to have it in stock, but a call to the store led to finding out that this was a mistake.

ALL OF YOU: would you be willing to check the site to see if any of your local stores might have a copy laying around? I'd obviously reimburse you for the cost of the game + shipping. If you wanted to work out a deal for a little extra for your troubles I'd be open to that, too.

Thanks.

The closest one to me is a hour away that has stock :(

It's at least promising that stores appear to have stock. If I keep asking, someone is bound to be close to one.

There was a store in western Ohio that had one, and the other two were eastern and southern Indiana.

We've gotta have a member in one of those areas!

There might be one at the local store here. I got mine for $30 about 4 months ago, if that's a cool price I can check up on it. I still have the privilege of digging through everything!

If it was sealed and in good shape, $30 is fine.

you need it to be sealed? I think the Gamestop near me has it in stock, but it's Gamestop, so it's not gonna be sealed.

EDIT: Nevermind. They don't have it anymore. Sorry.

Sealed would be ideal.

On the topic: I was shocked when the copy of Ys Seven I picked up yesterday still had the factory seal. I hate that it's something I even need to worry about.

Wow. Will you be near any of those locations in the near future? As long you can call ahead and confirm that it's both the Premium Edition and factory sealed, I could PayPal you ahead of time.

Let me know.

it's Gamestop man. If those are factory sealed, I'll eat my hat.

^ Exactly what he said. They won't be factory sealed. I tried finding a copy of Record of Agarest War Zero factory sealed, and gave up after I found out that they had each individual component in the box rubberbanded together.

Still may be worth looking/asking. Like I said a couple posts back, I picked up the premium edition of Ys Seven yesterday and it was still factory sealed. That was even the last copy they had - there was just had a dummy case on the shelf with the title of the game written onto it.

I remember getting mine "new" from GameStop months ago when it was $24.95.   Being GameStop, they only had one copy and it wasn't sealed but it was all complete and I had a 50% coupon so I bought it for $14 after tax.

I hadn't noticed that they were increasing in price, but since mine isn't sealed it probably doesn't matter anyway.

Yeah. Not exactly sure when the price increase happened. Shocked to see it, though. One of the few "valuable" PSP games.

Was just at the local Gamestop, they didnt even have any PSP games on display. But if you live in Minnesota I might of just been looking somewhere you've already covered.

Scoured all the stores in the state with no luck. Scoured all the stores in St Louis while I'm here for the weekend with no luck. Sigh.

I've got a copy I'd be willing to sell for the right price. Obviously, it's not sealed though haha.

Hmpf. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

I don't mean to dwell on this, just curious -- do you want it sealed because you want to be the one who opens it, or are you a Sealed Collector?


Title: Re: Help: looking for Ys I & II Chronicles Limited Edition
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on August 20, 2012, 09:20:46 AM
No one else has any near them? I guess I can start calling around...

If I can, I like to get these "premium editions" sealed so I can leave them that way. It's easy enough to find the standard versions down the road.

All the gamestops or all local gaming stores?


Title: Re: Help: looking for Ys I & II Chronicles Limited Edition

Just the GameStops. I can do that from the Internet. Manually searching other stores is a pain without a car. :/
