Can't find a copy anywhere


I'm having a lot of trouble actually tracking down a copy of the game online (I have to buy online, as I live in Australia). I have had it on order since late March with the crowd that I usually import my games through - who will remain nameless since Sony has a habit of suing companies who are willing to ship North American game releases internationally - and haven't seen any sign of it.

I did some poking around this morning at various online retailers. Amazon haven't had stock of the game in months. Gamestop/EB don't even list it. Every other retailer I've looked at has been out of stock or had it backordered.

What's going on? It's less than 3 months old, surely it hasn't been discontinued already? Did it sell through its initial pressing or something? Is there any way to get a copy any more short of playing roulette with Ebay?

Re: Can't find a copy anywhere


I was at my local Best Buy last week and noticed they were all sold out too!! They had like 10 copies a bit ago. I'm glad the game is selling so well here, I'm hoping that will mean AT2 in English is a lock. I hope you get one.. you have any used game stores local? Although it's better to buy it new.

Re: Can't find a copy anywhere


Used games stores have the same problem as normal game stores - I'm in Australia. For some reason we're part of the European region when it comes to games, so basically to get a lot of more obscure PS2 games without waiting for months (if we get them at all) I've got no choice but to import.

Anyway, the people I had the game on order with shipped it yesterday and have more copies in stock, so I'd guess that the first pressing had sold out and they were waiting for a reprint.
