Is it safe to buy Xenoblade on Gamestop?

[JWeinCom]

It's a weird situation with Xenobade. Basically, it was ONLY sold through Gamestop in the US. Then, after the game became a hot collectors item, Gamestop magically found tons of copies and started selling them at 90 bucks a pop (50 US was the actual price). Gamestop said that was because the game was so rare. However, there is a lot of speculation that these games were actually new copies.

Long story short though, Gamestop is probably fucking you over a bit, but the game will most likely work. And, Xenoblade is a fantastic game well worth buying.
