Should I get it for X-Mas used or not at all?

I asked for The Minish Cap for Christmas as one of my gifts, but apparently the game is very rare. I myself went to many stores and like every major retail website and could not find it.

The only options for me are these 2:

1. Get a used copy, which would just be a cartridge, no box or manual (the only other time I got a used game was when I got Electroplankton, and it came with EVERYTHING and was in STELLAR condition)

2. Not get it and hope that maybe I can find a new copy, and perhaps get it for my birthday in February

What would you do? I'm in a delimma

You know what my suggestion is?

Get a ROM. I couldn't find it myself (at least, not for a decent price), but I've seen it on ROM sites before. Fortunately, those never stop being made, ha. Although it wouldn't be portable, which is a bummer...

Get it used.

I'm sure you won't need the instructions to figure it out. Gameplay is the main thing and that won't be lessened. I don't generally like getting good games used, as I want to support the publisher, but if you can't find it new...
