Its sold out now...Just had it in my cart and it disappeared when I went to final checkout...

I ordered this over the weekend at Gamestop. Are they usually slow to ship? My order is still "open" and not processed yet :/

Missed it. I'm tempted to buy it for collector purposes. I just don't know if it will be worth anything just because it's rare (compared to something like an Earthbound cart, which is rare and actually of good quality).

Watch as supply suddenly appears.
..and you just bought a bad game.
Yep, I'm waiting for this to happen.

Earthbound carts aren't really rare. They are just in high demand.
Not only that, but there is a LOT of reproduction carts out there sold as the real deal.
I'd rather re-play The Order, than play this pile of crap again.
Poor souls that pay top money just to have as a collector item.
Or turn it around for $180 the next day.
The safe choice is to pounce on the sure thing $150+ over the short term during the hype window when everyone wants to snag the big collector's item. After the novelty/hype goes away, the price may drop from there and not go up for years if ever.
Same here. I think Gaf led to the histaria. Thanks guys.
The bright side is that it is on the eshop so at least I have somewhere to get it if gohastings fails me.

Ok, it's cool and all that Devil's Third's collectible value jumped so high so fast, but I'd rather it be a game that people play. Every copy collected is Siege not happening.
If only Wonderful 101 got this level of hysteria then more people would have bought it, what a brilliant game.

Looks like nintendo using the right marketing strategy...

Nintendo didn't do this.
Retailers didn't order enough. They don't want this. I mean, what would give retailers the idea that Devil's Third would be in demand after it's preceding reputation? All they really have are their pre-orders, and how many pre-orders from it's preceding reputation?
Retailers, and Nintendo, want games to sell legitimately because there is no scalper royalty fee.
Again, what hurts most about Devil's Third being seen as some kind of collector investment means that someone -many ones- will not be playing the game. It's multiplayer murder.

Damn Gamestop ruining all those game disc covers with that infamous sticker of death.

I was kind of hoping to have a Wii U collection but like bloody hell I'm going to give into the scalpers on this game. Oh well.
lol at all those Gamestop stickers.
Gamestop stickers are the bane of existence. God damn those terrible stickers, at least the old ones that leave a residue.

Thank you for the explanation. I thought this one is on publisher producing limited amount of physical.

This is really bad... if you kill Devil's Third multiplayer you kill the best (and biggest) part of the game.
And that's a shame, the multiplayer has many great ideas. I mean, I was watching Uncharted 4 beta and I don't think that I could play a online game like that after DT. Just to mention two things, Uncharted speed, mobility-verticality is much lower and the melee combat is brain dead and useful only to kick enemies on the ground...
Not surprising with extremely limited copies.
Anyone in the UK who wants it...it's currently £13 (Amazon Lightning deal).

Has there been a game in the last decade that's appreciated 10 times in value? Don't think even the sought after SNES games do that well.

What if this is how Nintendo plans to make a quick buck?
Release a few copies at a time as they all sell out, which will keep demand up. Eventually they'll make a profit.
This is how the Ace Attorney series started.

Call your gamestops to be sure. Yesterday the website said the closest store that had it was 15 miles away and the cleark at my store was like "this game?" As she pulled a copy out of the drawer.
So the website not always correct.
