My friend just recently dropped by returning a copy of Xenoblade I loaned him. He ask if he can just purchase the copy from me and I told him "sure just give me $20 and I'll buy another copy some other time." Then he told me how much the game is going for on eBay and Amazon. I checked and some are closing between $60-$90 used and some are over $100 new. I haven't seen a game jump up in price so soon after it released. It haven't even been a year yet for the U.S. released.

What do you think cause the high price of Xenoblade?

Low supply, high demand?

Isn't it a GameStop exclusive in NA? It's possible GameStop doesn't really carry it in stock anymore. Or maybe people are just too lazy to drive down there and pick up a copy.

There is good supply on Gamestop and Nintendo Online Shop. But the fact it is that all excellent Nintendo games rise their price incredible after 1 year. Check FIRE EMBLEM: RADIANT DAWN for Wii for example. So my advice will be: don't let that copy go.

The stock may be a little tight. It's also a GameStop exclusive... And you never know about GameStop.

Gamestop exclusive (also available on the Nintendo store) + limited supply.

I still have mine wrapped in plastic with the Artbook...

GameStop is completely out of stock online.

You haven't played it yet? What's wrong with you?

Massive backlog and time constrants from College, same reason I haven't been able to play Persona 4 yet, or Last Story or half of my PSP JRPGS.
