For those that have seen the topic that's consistently on the front page of gaming side, you may be wondering, surely 3DS homebrew/region unlocking can't be that demanded? Well, this is what shows up on Amazon.ca for 3DS titles:
and Yahoo.com too:
Maybe try EBay? I mean, there must be some way to get the game for cheap, right? Yeah, no. The highest price for a complete NA copy is $169.72, while the lowest "Buy it now" price for a complete NA copy is $56.57. Remember that the game in question just a week prior was a bargain bin title that could be bought for as little as $7 on Best Buy's website. I've even seen people offer up games that normally go for $60 for this bad boy.
The thirst, undoubtedly, is real.
While looking at this whole situation though, a question struck my noggin: Have their ever been games that have shot up to high prices for random reasons? I'm not talking about games that have become more expensive over a long period of time due to the nostalgia of players, nor am I talking about games with a low print run that were sent out to die and are therefore immediately collectable (Shantae, Mega Man X3, Taito NES titles). No, I'm talking about games that just shot up in price for whatever reason. Be it because of an exploit, a meme or whatever have you.
I want to say that the first souls game was like this? The collector's edition at the very least.
