Damn, still waiting for it to hit that price in Europe, but now with ToX about to release that's all I'll be able to handle for now anyway.

I'm in the same boat, but I'm thinking to myself, will ever be available brand new for less?

Was a cute fun jrpg. Sold my launch copy for 35 a few months back, tempted to rebuy at this price lol

Same. I'm not sure what to do as I really want to play a few others. Mine is a slim too, so it died prematurely. Still more than a year.
Second drive that has died on me. DVDs still work oddly enough. Blu-Ray movies and games do not.
I really want to play this though, but I won't buy another system. I know someone that had luck using an air compressor and blowing inside the disc slot...so i may try that as a last ditch effort.

The only thing that i hate about this game is that is so damn slow... everything takes time and it treats you as if you were stupid (ala Zelda SS)
Other than that, lovely game from what i've played yet

It really does start off slow! It gets much better...

I can confirm the first part, but not the second. Jeepers, what an annoying game!

Me and two other people showed up as Best Buy opened. We were all there for Ni No Kuni. Get a copy while you can.

That's a steal of a deal for this great JRPG. I bought it day one, played the ever living crap out of it (about 78 hours), completed it and the post game. Fantastic from start to finish. That's not say there aren't any problems with it, mainly the combat has some issues (which can be gotten around with some planning), but it's an incredible game.
The only truly amazing thing about this game is the artistic design.
My complaints with the game were:
-Pacing -- I don't get fast travel until 25 hours?
-Battle System -- Fumbling through commands to get to the defend button is not fun
-Sidequests -- all of them are fetch quests
-Underuse of Voice Acting -- I didn't expect to have 2 minutes of voice acting for every hour of text dialogue
-Handholding -- You can turn off the objective marker, but you cannot turn off Drippy incessant dialogue, telling you exactly what you need to do whenever you talk to a NPC who gives a quest even if you've already heard his schtick 20 times before.
Very pretty game though and the music is cool. Story is alright if not a tad simplistic. I don't really thinking it's deserving of all the praise it gets.

If people don't buy it at this price...I mean *throws hands in the air*
I paid for it in full a year ago for the LE and STILL HAVE NOT PLAYED IT -_-;
However, supporting awesome niche efforts is a good way to get more of these kinds of games released over here. Seems like Namco is trying by localizing games again

I wish this was on Vita, I don't own a PS3
You know, I could see this game getting an re-packaged PS4 release. At least then (if you happen to get a PS4) you'd have remote play on your Vita? I agree though, I think NNK would've translated well onto the Vita.

Oh if they have less than 3 copies in stock it won't show that it is in stock online. You have to call the best buy and they can see what stores have stock.
That's what I did to get ahold of Kirby's Dream Collection last weekend.

Sold out online and not available at my local store... maybe I'll keep an eye out for it next week when I go to Chicago.

The only good game on that list is Lost Odyssey. Everything else isn't that great...

You had no way of knowing. Worst case scenario, return it at GS and buy it at BB

Amazon price matched it, just in case anyone was interested.

Its a great game but I really struggle with the battle system for some reason. Never got a good grasp on how to be super effective during a fight.
- Gorgeous graphics
- Great character design
- If you love Miyazaki, no doubt, get this game
- Very charming and a good simple story
- Exploration does seem to be rewarded
