When the price goes up like that it is NOT being sold by Amazon directly, but from Independent Sellers (just like the Amazon Marketplace on the US Amazon site). Amazon's price usually stays about the same, but when they are out of stock then one of the independent sellers who has the game in stock, their price shows up as the main price since Amazon doesn't have stock of it. It is not Amazon who is raising the price, they probably have one of the lower prices on the game actually (compared to regular retail stores)

Actually, if memory serves correctly, it said shipped and sold by Amazon.  However, I didn't copy and paste that part, and in truth I'm not 100% percent sure, because I did check the page several times and I could be getting them confused.  It doesn't seem too far fetched that Amazon Japan might operate slightly different from the US, though, does it?
