No way! Is there any difference between the original and the reprint as far as you know?

There shouldn't be, the ones these guys reprinted have been the original releases. Persona 2 and Ninja 5-O sold out in less than an hour.

Definitely picking this up for sure. Is the game content any different from the PAL version? Like any scenes cut from the game or anything?

I don't think there's any region difference afaik

Fantastic! I'll have to get a swap disc as well for the time being.

CiDeRmAn · 26-08-2013 12:39am

I'm still not convinced there was ever a genuine English manual/pal edition released, everything says no barring some unconfirmed comments on forums.
More likely it's the European one with the US manual.
It is an interesting game and I normally chalk the lousy combat up to lead not being supposed to a fighter

Atavan-Halen · 26-08-2013 12:41am

I thought it got a limited UK release, no?

I thought so until it was banned for condoning child abuse or something? usually you'd get a pal version from like France, think it still sold elsewhere in Europe.

Atavan-Halen · 26-08-2013 1:01am

Yeah any of the pal copies that come up on eBay are always from mainland Europe so maybe it didn't get a UK release

o1s1n · 26-08-2013 1:03am

Keep in mind that European games tend to be the same. One disc and box for Europe with a language selection on the first screen.

So it's possible it was withdrawn from the UK shelves but released on mainland Europe - the same box/disc/manual in both cases.

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2013 1:37am

It wasn't actually banned as far as I recall. The daily mail kicked up a stink that the game was all about underage lesbians (which is isn't about at all) and the publisher refused to release it in the UK which meant Ireland didn't get copies as well since we got our supply from the UK. There were review copies sent out though.

It's really strange what games the conservatives jump on. Rule of Rose, an obscure arthouse game exploring the cruelty that young girls can exhibit gets lambasted and jumped on while Persona 3 a game about teenagers summoning demons by shooting themselves in the head gets a free pass.

CiDeRmAn · 26-08-2013 7:41am

Plus Retr0,
You probably have to import underage lesbian games from Japan!
Except there they are called "games"

Myrddin · 26-08-2013 11:26am

So that Rule of Rose relaunch thingy, is that likely to be a collectible? What is the quality of it likely to be in terms of printwork etc? Why hasn't it sold out already?

I'd say it'll bring the prices on eBay down a bit and would depend on how many are going to be re-printed. Quality should be good and like the original.

Myrddin · 26-08-2013 11:48am

Cool, might be worth a punt so? What region is this likely to be, NTSC-U?

It hasn't sold out already because it hasn't gone on sale yet

So yeah, it'll have the opposite reaction - devaluing the currently collectable original copies. Especially if there's no difference in the packaging.

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2013 1:09pm

Well that didn't really happen with Persona 2 or Ninja 5-O.

Rule of Rose is an incredibly hard game to find in English. I can see it selling very fast and still holding it's value.

The reprint will be the same quality as the original release if the last few are anything to go by.

o1s1n · 26-08-2013 1:48pm

I never really thought Rule of Rose was that hard to find to be honest. If you extend your search to ebay France/Germany/Spain then they always pop up.

Were as cheap as €30-€40 until not too long ago. (Didn't Ciderdude get one from France for about that price?)

Will definitely be picking up one of these reprints though, kind of silly not to given how cheap they are!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 26-08-2013 6:57pm

I'm not worried about it's value, don't think I'd ever sell it on, wanted it for years but always missed out.

exactly! and CAD is cheaper than Euro, I think it was €19ish including postage

Myrddin · 26-08-2013 7:01pm

I know a lot here frown on buying sealed games as an investment/collection piece, but something like this I'd prob buy & leave it sealed in the hopes it becomes worth something. Might bite the bullet on it...

Still have a sealed Ltd Edition Skyward Sword with gold wiimote etc, just can't bring myself to open it

must get it, having a modded ps2 comes in hand xD.

I have Skyward Sword as well, trading it for res 0 *gc* + 40e, not bad considering extra vision still sells have a few for 50e a pop.

Yup, got it a reasonable price and it wasn't the only one either.
Trick seems to be to check eBay.fr/de/nl and the rest of the European regions and , if necessary, message the seller about shipping to the Emerald isle.

Wii mote 1, there worth quite a bit sealed.

Yeah just looking here now, average price for sealed ones is in or around £80/£90. I think they were around €70ish here when new. It'll never be worth a fortune though. I seen a few VGA graded normal copies too going for the usual ridiculous prices :rolleyes:

OwaynOTT · 26-08-2013 9:11pm

I have 7 sealed games. Fzero for snes, bit trip saga, Shinobi, Pokemon rumble, starwing 3ds, street fighter 3ds and best of all Aagorn's Quest on DS.
3 of those I got a few days ago and will probably open in next few days.

o1s1n · 26-08-2013 9:13pm

Only sealed game I have is Tempo for the 32X. And I bought it thinking it was cart only so I could test out a region mod.

Myrddin · 26-08-2013 9:14pm

I've Final Fantasy Anthology, Final Fantasy VIII, X-2 sealed. F-Zero, Skyward Sword, & a few others which I've forgotten. I wouldn't mind opening the newer stuff I suppose, but from PS2 back prob not as it's gotten this far

o1s1n · 26-08-2013 9:24pm

Final Fantasy VIII sealed? I'm sure there's a nutter out there somewhere who'd give you €100 for that.

Yeah it's one of the awkward ones to price as there's not many sealed ones selling to be able to price. I think Retr0 reckoned in or around €100 before too

Retr0gamer · 26-08-2013 9:43pm

For a sealed FFVIII? I'd say you'd be looking at far more than 100. There's plenty of idiotic FF fans that will spend a lot on it. Sure there's some that would spend actual money on Legend of Dragoon

Atavan-Halen · 26-08-2013 10:10pm

I have more sealed games than I should admit; fallout 3, final fantasy vi (gba), donkey kong country returns on wii, oracina of time 3ds, resident evil revelations 3ds but I'll probably end up playing that one soon. Have some more as well... If I could buy time I'd unwrap it straight away.

Swap you for Donkey Konga 1 sealed :pac:
Think its my only sealed game as its a duplicate. Had Super ghouls and ghosts and Fire Emblem sacred stones sealed up until my little cousins decided to have a root through my games about 6 years ago. Now have Super Ghouls and Ghosts box and manual with no cart and an open Fire Emblem. Gave me an excuse to play FE again though so that was ok. Never did find that Ghouls cart though

Pikmin 1, Prince of Persia two thrones, Res 2,3 and CV and Luigis Mansionare the only things I think I'm missing from my beloved cube collection

(well maybe Twilight princess and the players choice silver boxed Smash Bros annoys me as its the only one I have.

EDIT: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fire-Emblem-The-Sacred-Stones-for-Nintendo-Game-Boy-Advance-Factory-Sealed-/271252955976?pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item3f27efa348

Someone has half-inched my copy of SSBB!
And I have a mate for whom I bought LoZ:TP for the cube when it was released and it's just sitting there in his place....
I haven't seen him in a year.... Is it BSD taste to call him and "steer" the conversation towards Zelda?
