I got resistance for about £15 new from an amazon marketplace seller in July. Keep an eye out and you can get reasonably priced copies. As for the £39.99 it is in GAME and HMV... rofl lololol hell no!
I'm enjoying the single player so far. Won't be playing it again after finishing it unless I decide to get the platinum though. Will be the first vita game sale.
As I say though it doesn't bode as badly for CoD as people think. There are actually a lot of positives in Resistance. Is there no news on an EU Ragnarok release yet?
