I Got a DS Lite!
Teri surprised me with an early birthday present yesterday. It is so awesome. Nintendo really did a good job on this one.
I'm supposed to keep an eye out for a game called Phoenix Wright for the DS. I have been checking Ebay and it probably is the most expensive and rare game to find. http://cgi.ebay.com/Phoenix-Wright-Ace-Attorney-DS-NEW-SEALED-RARE_W0QQitemZ120001999063QQcategoryZ62053QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I just might give it a bid.
One thing I must say about rare games in general. I am intrigued by them. The harder it is to get the more I went it. Take XBOX 360 for example. I had absolutely no plans to pick one up at launch. The games just didn't do it for me. Then I found out how hard it is to get one, and then I became hooked. I checked every Target, Best Buy, and Wal-mart to get one and I finally did mid December. There were 6 of them on a Wal-mart shelf and Tommy and I picked up one each just on an impulse buy.
A game like Phoenix Wright makes me want to get it simply because if I don't get it now, I may not be able to get it later on. Well, there is always Ebay, but the rarer a game is, the more you are gonna pay for it. When I used to go to Japan, I searched every used game shop for the rarest of the rare. Neogeo games, PC Engine games, you name it. There was a shooter for the Japanese Sega Saturn called Radiant Silvergun. I picked it up in Japan for $80 used and sold it here for $160. Its a great game, but $160 for a disc? I got even more if the game was complete with the Japanese exclusive "spinecard".
Another game I was eyeing for awhile was Mario DDR for Gamecube simply because they were sold out everywhere last year. Now it has been rereleased and "want" value has gone way down. Ebay sellers now suffer because Nintendo flooded the market with them.
Its always fun to check the auctions of rare games. Oooh is this a rare complete Final Fantasy 3 for Super NES? Why yes it is! http://cgi.ebay.com/FINAL-FANTASY-III-3-Super-Nintendo-SNES-GEM-MINT_W0QQitemZ104752733594QQihZ020QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It even has the cart baggy!

Too bad you didn't get a DS just a few weeks earlier. Beginning of June, Capcom issued a reprint of Phoenix Wright. Most places that carried the reprint (like Walmart.com) have long since sold out. Move your but and buy it off Capcom's site: http://www.capcom.com/xpml/game.xpml?gameid=800038 before they sell out.
Otherwise you'll have to wait until sometime mid-Aug for their third printing of this game.
Thanks man, but I can't get the link to work. Also going to Capcom's site, i can't seem to find Phoenix Wright under the DS games.
