mika Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I live in the UK and finding this game for a "normal" price is a freaking nightmare. Prices range from 60-100pounds, and US retailers don't send it to the UK where it is of course cheaper -_-...... Just a rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archavia Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I know how you feel. I hunted for this for a good few months, before a friend told me that a JB Hi-Fi store near him had it. He bought it for me and shipped it interstate just so I could get it cheap at $29 Same goes for Hyperdimension Neptunia - I almost caved and was willing to pay $60 for it, but luckily found it in a 2 for $40 sale So happens that it was the same retailer I got Rorona from!

mika Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 sorry but you lucky bastard lol. The game is now more expensive than a brand new AAA game o.O;. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 sorry but you lucky bastard lol. The game is now more expensive than a brand new AAA game o.O;. That's what happens to almost every niche game which includes in America. Niche games usually only get 1-2 shipments maximum and then sooner or later become really rare to find which some companies and fans take advantage of. AAA selling titles get a good amount of shipments of copies in with a ton of copies in each shipment to where it becomes stores tend to get overstocked with copies. I also would think it would help Europe if there was actually a NIS Europe branch. But at any rate, i've said it many times before, and i'll say it again. When it comes to niche titles, it's better to buy them when they 1st come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souj83 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I bought this game pre-owned at £15 from GAME two months ago (before the store close down), but I didn't know that this game is hard to find at normal price! I guess it was luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned lol. Good to hear you found a copy! I'm still searching high and low for a reasonably priced copy of Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel and Trinity Universe, but the only copies I find online are Japanese versions that are like $60-100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mika Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) it is quite cheap here in the UK. Check amazon.co.uk and ebay.co.uk http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3AR06-Ar%20Tonelico%20Qoga.html#fo_c=12&fo_k=39afaa455f2bc7c26fe871753e748026&fo_s=gshuk http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/12038631/sony-playstation-3-ps3-game-ar Edited May 6, 2012 by mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakugan Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Heh i bought this from my friend for 10 € just because he hated the character designs and also the gameplay got him bored :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonflax Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I also had luck with this one! Had it on my list for some time now, cause i really liked Totori, but when i saw the prices i was like whatta heck?! Then accidently i saw some guy sell it really cheap here in Croatia (where RPG's are NOT appreciated) and grabbed it without 2nd thought! Can't wait to start playing it!

Azgard12 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 American Gamestops have both editions of the game (small case and a big case that comes with an art book) new for $21.49 right now. Totori is the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajesticTokolosh Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 When I went to gamestop they had Rorona and Totori put away in some drawer. If you ask when you go in you might get lucky (I'm assuming any store might be doing this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totori is the same price. Gamestop should only have new copies that come with the artbook. Any that are not are pre-owned for $20. The artbook edition was a Gamestop USA exclusive but did not get a regular edition of the game. They don't ship overseas, do they? It wouldn't matter anyways if they did since they're sold out online. When I went to gamestop they had Rorona and Totori put away in some drawer. If you ask when you go in you might get lucky (I'm assuming any store might be doing this). Probably pre-owned copies that people have traded in and that particular Gamestop having at least more than 1 used copy of the game.

MajesticTokolosh Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I actually bought both Rorona and Totori new. All Im saying is the next time your looking for the game you might want to just ask. The manager told me the cases were to big to put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager told me the cases were to big to put out. Well usually in those cases they would put it in the back room or display it behind the counter. But it is always good to ask. Even checking on their website to see which is the closest store to have a copy is always good too. Though sometimes they might miss a game when they're doing the inventory checking and so it might be counted as not having the game even though they do.

lessthantv Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not sure if it's still the same price, but picked up a brand new copy from Amazon.co.uk last week for £19.99 which was a lot better than the previous time i looked and it was £40+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenzsaber Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 So those who got this or Totori new from Gamestop recently (i.e. the last couple weeks) did the game come with an artbook? Also, how was the condition, was the case riddled with stickers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeWinter Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Got both of these games recently from GameStop. Totori was the normal edition with just the normal case and little book, It was an opened "new" display copy and just had the price tag in the upper right corner. Disc, Everything was in great condition. Rorona was the Limited Edition with the hard cover artbook, the larger box and the case. This too was an opened "new", Price tag in the corner of the larger box but not the case. No actual damage to anything. {I think GameStops LE was different then the NIS only one? I'm not sure though. } Each were 23 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Atelier Rorona, NISA offered the soundtrack and artbook, but didn't have that cool "huge" packaging the Gamestop version had with the better looking cover with Rorona on it. Which was the only version Gamestop ever got. Atelier Totori has a normal edition and a limited edition at Gamestop. Limited edition also came with an artbook and a soundtrack but with the artbook not being all gigantic like Rorona's. NISA gave out a fancy double-sided poster. Atelier Meruru limited edition is a NISA exclusive which comes with a t-shirt, soundtrack and an artbook. Edited July 20, 2012 by Shuffle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
