Noticed a real problem getting this game

[Konachibi]

I got hold of my copy for £10 from Gamestation. It's quite common to see at least one or two display boxes in video game stores in the U.K. Kinda odd that it's less common to see in U.S game shops :3

lol there is like 6 copies and a CE at the gamestop near me. The price was probably lower for so long because they believed the game was going to fail and close long ago but now thats its being pushed for a revival they raised the price hoping to make more money at Gameslop. Hope SE doesnt include cupons in the newly released PC/PS3 cases when the re-release happens or Gamestupid might open them, remove them and sell them as new. And i know i saw some ff14s on amazon for like 10$ in the past 2 weeks while searching for something else.

Aye, theres a reason that you can't digital download FFXIV off SE atm.

They dont want new players coming into a game they most likely won't stick with.

It's now almost impossible to find in Australia's biggest gaming stores aswell.

I know in my town i can find about 10-20+ copy of CE and nonCE version of the game but the price went back up 39.99 which sucks i was going to buy the CE version for 25$ so i can have two account one for my friend but i never had the money for it to buy it

I knew about it being on amazon. He has no way to purchase it that way right now. We only checked steam to see if that was an option. This thread was more about the problem of it not being in the brick and mortar stores. Now most game stores PC section is very small now. What I saw when I was looking through them was mostly MMOs- Every box of WoW, Rift, FFXI, Anarchy Online?, D&D Online, and some other really old MMOs. I really hope they reprint, or stores buy remaining stock of PC ver when the ps3 ver releases

PC games seem to be dieing out since online functionality was given to games consoles, now you don't needs a pc to shoot people like back in the days of counterstrike, you buy halo/CoD and go on xbox live/playstation network.

The only superiority PC's have over consoles nowadays when it comes to games it's upgradability (which is a double edged sword (prettyness/cost to upgrade)) and more buttons, which apart from MMO's is never required since most pc games are ports from console games, rather than 10 years ago when it was the other way around.

Purchasing an MMO that started badly, like this one, in a store is gonna be hard, because usually if something doesn't sell they take it off the shelves to give more shelf-space to something that will sell.

You're using the internet to post on these forums, did you know you can also use it to buy things? NEAT STUFF!!!

some people with certain financial histories only have cash, and while you can buy 1 time visas from store, if any site tries to verify it through zip code, it could lock you out of your money(unless you call the card company first and wait.) other meat stuff: people like to walk into stores to buy things, not have a package sitting on your door step that 2 times out of 10 is going to get stolen. but I see your points. we were just going to buy it at any store yesterday at any price and it wasnt there -1 sale as he bought dues ex instead (but i guess they own that too)

The game cost me 249 NOK in a norwegian Gamestop, which is about 45$. To me, that is about 1,5 hours at work, and I didnt mind paying that since most games here in norway costs almost double that if not more. Most ive seen a normal edition game sell for is 799NOK, 145$.
