I put off picking up We Love Katamari when it was released way back because I felt I still had playtime left in the first game, and I wasn't ready to move on just quite yet. But as the PS2 generation winds down, I decided to look around for some older games I never got around to buying, including We Love Katamari.
Lo and behold, it was nearly impossible to find outside ebay. No big web retailers have any copies for sale, so I placed orders at 3 smallish web stores I found in a Froogle search that claimed to be selling new copies of the game, and was later notified by every one of them that they did not, in fact, have any copies of the game left, and that my order had been summarily cancelled. I called every game store in a 50 mile radius, and not a single one of them had a copy available. It's only been out, what, a year and a half in the US?
I had to resort to buying the copy my local Blockbuster had on the shelves for rental. I swiped the case & manual from the shelf when the clerks weren't looking, so I have essentially a complete copy of the game, and luckily the rental disc was in very good condition. Clearly few people had rented this game.
So just a heads up for those planning on getting this game: better get it now before it's too late.
