I only have a digital copy

 

[Varg]

They can ask all they want for that price . Doesn't mean their gonna get it .

 

[schaft0620]

I saw this used at GameStop for $17.99 last month. I bought mine day one from Amazon. Price will drop, sequel is driving demand right now.

Its out of print, if it catches on as a "rare game" value could just go up.

 

[shadow2810]

I planned to import the game few weeks ago and noticed the price skyrocketed. Guess GR2 helped a lot. Now I'm just waiting for digital sale

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Lol. Have my copy.

 

[minimumhippo]

oops

 

[Dwayne]

Still cheap in PAL land.

 

[BocoDragon]

They never even released it in Canada officially

 

[Phoenix RISING]

I hadn't even HEARD of this game until the sequel was released.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Got my physical copy. I'm sure I will be able to retire off of it many years from now.

Bless the Gravity Queen.

 

[Lemstar]

$150 might be high, but people are definitely getting significantly over MSRP for their copies.

 

[ULTROS!]

Seems like even the English Asian release are out of stock according to Play Asia.

 

[-Horizon-]

Yeah, started looking at it last week and saw the price and just laughed.

Guess I'll just stick with my vita version then.

 

[freeofgreed]

Goddamn. Knew I should've jumped in when I had the chance.

 

[kagamin]

I already beat the Vita version anyways, now to just wait for the price drops on the sequel, gonna have to wait a while though.

 

[ricelord]

i'm gonna be rich.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Still got my amazon copy and aint never selling it.

I hear that. I got my copy from Amazon once I knew only Amazon would carry it physically.

 

[LotusHD]

i'm gonna be rich.

That's all I wanted, to have the games side by side.

Oh, another dumb thing about me selling the game is that I later on forgot to keep a save file, so no free costumes for me either lol

 

[13ruce]

Well it's the Queen of Cuteness ofcourse it's gonna sell

 

[chrono01]

i'm gonna be rich.

But they're opened. The value is cut by at least 50%!

 

[Luminaire]

Wonder if I should buy GR2 now then...

Haven't been able to beat the first one yet due to work projects. (No, I don't want to go digital for the sequel.)

 

[chaosblade]

I hear that. I got my copy from Amazon once I knew only Amazon would carry it physically.

Yeah, I preordered because I figured it would be limited. Surprised it was up as long as it was.

Doubt there will be a reprint, since Sony barely gave it a NA US physical release in the first place.

 

[RMI]

if only there was a way to play this rare game without the disc!

I will never understand rarity of games on an era where everything is also available digitally and performs the same function.

I get why a SNES cartridge or something might be rare because unless you're playing on an emulator there's no way to play the game. But with any game released in the digital download era it makes very little sense to me.

 

[Indelible]

I had a feeling this would be rare eventually, always happens with store specific games. I will never sell my copy, definitely a game to keep in the collection.

 

[The_Endgamer]

You sure?
Plenty of copies in JB Hifi here in Australia...

 

[erlim]

This is really too bad. This generation on PS4 is so nutty as a collector with LRG and other small print publishers.

 

[jdstorm]

Knew waiting for it to go 9n sale digitaly and keeping my physical copy sealed was smart

 

[convo]

If you want a big fat german USK logo on your boxart you don't have to look far and wide for it here.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

You sure?

The remaster got a wide release in PAL and Asia. In the US it was Amazon exclusive (after much outcry - it was supposed to be digital-only) and straight-up unreleased in other North/South American territories.

Still miffed about that... They couldn't get something going with amazon.ca? Gah. Well, if Sony's distribution of GR2 here so far (many retailers apparently have low stock) is any indication, I guess they couldn't.

 

[Mustang 00]

What. This game is gathering dust in my local store and is cheap as an old game. Im not in the US though.

 

[Drago]

What the fucking shit.

I came so, so close to getting it for like $24 or something last month but I had bought enough PS4 games at the time so I sat on it. Kicking myself into outer space right now. Hopefully prices come back down to earth eventually but I doubt they will.

 

[jdstorm]

Pick it up. The PS4 is region free and it should work anywhere right?

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Anyone who has a sealed copy should sell it, buy a used Vita and GR for it

 

[SlaughterX]

People should just download it, dummies.

 

[jg4xchamp]

Hmm and I was gonna trade it in because I thought the game sucked.

 

[Type40]

This price markup is for the US version only. Japanese and euro copies had a wider print run and distribution.

Because physical>digital

 

[Bubba77]

Mine is still in plastic waiting to be played. I played on vita so i may just go straight into 2 after i finish res evil.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

I got it for Christmas!

 

[FairXchange]

I've got the original Japanese Vita version, wonder how much that one goes for?

 

[AlexFlame116]

*Hugs my copy of Gravity Rush Remastered*

Some of you guys can have your digital only future. Me? I'm sticking with my physical copies.

 

[Systemwarrior]

Still have my copy, sealed.

 

[Square Triangle]

I still have my copy but I gotta question why Sony only released it on Amazon. Unless Amazon agreed to buy a set amount of inventory in exchange for exclusive selling privileges

 

[mdubs]

No sympathy for you Americans. At least you got a physical print run in your stores. Hope you realize now how terrible Sony has been in treating this franchise.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

It was initially digital only until people complained about it on Twitter.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

If I remember right the remaster was supposed to be digital-only in NA and due to fan outcry, they made a last-minute deal to get a print run on amazon. Sony never seemed to have much faith in it.

I remember telling my friend in California about it and when he found out, he ordered a copy immediately. Lucky guy!

It wasn't going to get a physical release at all here. Amazon got a (small?) shipment because a fair number of people complained about it being digital only.

 

[Phil Fish]

Bought it day 1.

 

[n0razi]

i'm gonna be rich.

Youre missing the Vita version

 

[OmahaG8]

I found out a similar thing recently with New Super Luigi U. Super glad I bought this for $24 last year on a whim.
