Ok so FFVIII, Chrono Cross and all the games previously mentioned cannot be distributed through online venues???

You can believe what you want like the amazon reviews of DQIX but that's not the reality...

I'm just saying that that the other games you listed either were stopped in print due to lack of demand or an overwhelming amount of used copies, or they now have an online venue to sell the item (PSN, Virtual Console, etc.)

I'm not sure what the amazon reviews for DQ9 have to do with anything. I find it quite funny that you can't possbily believe that Square occasionally makes copies of their old games.

You can still get SNES and N64 through Nintendo, no?

Really? Then send me a link so I can buy those brand factory sealed SNES and N64 games so I can sell it back on ebay and make a ton of money.

Seriously, your statement doesnt make any sense. Do you have any idea of the cost of a production line in the industry? That would cost way too much to produce a marginal number of copies of those games (with their case, instruction booklet and label) vs the profit they can have with their sales. That's why companies are starting to sell these games via PSN or VC.

And if I brought the DQ9 amazon reviews it was to show that you're a very naive person. BTW I didnt see any new copies of FFVIII in a local store since the beginning of the years 2000.

Come on now, games get re-printed all the time. I just got a brand new, factory sealed copy of Persona 2 (PS1) less than a year ago. These get reprinted every once in a while.

And mentioning the only alternative source of user feedback does not make me naive. No where have I mentioned that they are right and Famitsu is wrong, or that I even think they're legtimate. Just giving all resources.
