Only Gamestop sells Xenoblade.



Around the Network

many people don't realize it's a gamestop exclusive and they can't find it anywhere else. Fact is its available right now for $50 new at gamestop.com, so there's no reason to pay such high prices. I bought a copy pretty recently, it wasn't shrink wrapped so that kinda bothered me at first but i was gonna play it anyway so i just said screw it and started playing for days on end.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I just picked the game up last week at GameStop (December 26th, to be exact) and it was $49.99, as usual.

Just go to GameStop and buy it. It's a retailer exclusive, that's why other places jack up the price.



for those out there who haven't got it yet you can feel safe that your money isn't wasted. As long as you take good care of it you can sell it back for full price even now. If you go on ebay you can see used copies going for $50-$70. If you want to hold onto it for several years, it will probably double in price at least.

I feel like I see it at GameStop all the time.

Still $50, mind you, but I dunno what else to expect from a Nintendo game.

I really need to go out and buy this. I went into the store yesterday with the intention of buying it, but alas, Farcry 3 called my name...




I bought this as a Christmas present for my sister.. I looked all over for a copy of it in all the local brick and mortar stores after seeing how much it was going for on Amazon ($100 for new copies), and I finally found a GameStop that had ONE sealed copy left (none of that opened display case with price stickers all over it bullshit thank God!)

I thought I could snag it for cheap online... I still can't believe how much it's going for. Nintendo seems to do that with alot of its games... Metroid Prime Trilogy is another example. Mere months after its release it was nowhere to be found, and new copies were going for like $70-$80 online.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Wow it's sold out at Gamestop in Toronto, and unavailable online. It's only 6 months old! This game will become valuable fast....Good thing I bought 2.

I did that for Radiant Historia XD. It had the same shortage issue and was being sold for $100 on ebay, but then EB Games got another shipment and online prices crashed back to $40. So I bought 15 copies. Game is now at $60-$70. If I do a few more of these....then video games will be a free hobby for me

Lets hope for a XenoBlade shipement, I'm going to keep checking online.

Also P.S. I guess now is the time to get a second copy of The Last Story? I bought my gf a Wii this christmas and she has always wanted to try out a Final Fantasy game. I could get this now and save it for her birthday.
