| DonWii said: I called a few Gamespots. I ended up driving 1 hour to a store that actually had it. Playing it right now. Loving it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are literally no sales for the first week. It seems like we may have another Katamary on our hands. Shortages for the first month or so. |
Man, the Katamari phenomenon was weird. I remember playing it at a friends house who wasn't even a gamer who said he found it for like $20-30 and it was some strange game with a *fantastic* opening that I had never heard of. I went to Gamestop the next day and sure enough I found a used copy for something between $20-30 and I just thought it was some old game that I had never heard of. A month or two later all I could hear about was Katamari.
Anyways, I'm tempted to go back into that Gamestop tomorrow and lie and tell the clerk it was the best damn game ever. The pure awesome from it made me crap my pants and the amazing thing was that the game was nice enough to clean everything up and leave a mint for me later.
