They're not supposed to be sold at all... just some people can't let a good deal down now

@Ubersaurus... ah tournament play... couldn't have been that great a talent pool then if people:

a) have to play Ivy to win
b) can't beat her

Once you know the moves, her tricks etc, then she isn't that much of a problem to defeat. Trust me, been there, done that. Shame I can't show you cos I'm thousands of miles away!

As for 2D vs 3D fighters... the debate always rages. I'm a fan of both. I believe SF3 3rd Strike and VF4Evo to be the best out there currently in each field, with VF4Evo taking the crown as overall top fighter currently. The game has so much depth, hidden wealth, practicing and improvement (and the fact that 90% of all Japanese fighting enthusiasts are now playing it exclusively!) shows it to be the quality title it is...

Many still seem to be in the $10-$20 range on ebay.... perhaps I should buy a bunch and sell them for $12-$13 on VintageGamer.

Future Shop has them tagged at $14.99CDN, but they ring up at $29.99CDN... so they will let you have it for the sticker price.

I can confirm that the Best Buy in Omaha on 144th and West Center was indeed selling these for $39.99. Maybe I should pick one up for $10 now while I still can.

Man, I had just about forgotten about that Best Buy -- it's been over 2 years since I lived in the Omaha area...

Oh well, to add something helpful to this thread, KB Toys sells them... well at least some of them do. I went to a KB Toys in Stoneham, MA, and they said they won't/can't sell them. I then went to EB in Burlington, and they said the same thing. I went to the KB that's right next to them in the mall, and they sold it for $9.99.

BTW, the first I had heard about these discs was one of the E3 releated announcements that said it was going to sell for $9.99. Then later it was announced as a bundle with the GCN.

Best Buy is just wacked... I saw the $40 price while on a visit to Cincinnati... I had assumed that it was a mistake, but after hearing the reports of other stores with the same price, it looks like it was some bone headed decision at the corporate level. I'm just curious as to how many copies they've sold at $40... and of those, how many were parents that didn't realise it was only a demo disc and demanded their money back?

Good thinking! Maybe THAT'S the reason for the $40 price tag!

Oh, and I finaly got one. It's awesome for a demo disk.
