I just ordered mine. Not bad for $35.

They're still going for $50 or so on eBay.

That was nuts how high they were going for a few months ago. The game was worth more than the f***ing system!

[Lox]

Yeah, I saw. And I refused to pay that price.

But for $35, with how awesome I hear the game is, I figure it's a must-buy.

My bud's EB has one for $40 Cdn. I think they're available in some of the major stores

[Julius Seeker]

They reshipped them, they do have them at EB and Futureshop now.

Apparently, copies of Trauma Center have been showing up in regular retail outlets lately as well.

Been a good week for folks looking for two of the rarest DS games.

Yeah, I haven't looked for it yet, but I REALLY want Trauma Center as well.

Trauma Center = fun. I somehow found a copy a couple months ago.

I wonder if I could have found PW instore. Ah well. Only cost me $3 more to ship it from the website and I am shipping it UPS so it's good for business.

IGN posted the story about Trauma Center. Also links to some screens and info on the game for anyone else considering a purchase. I can't say for sure, but I would take the chance to guess that this is another DS "must have" title.

Speaking of Phoenix Wright, looks like the copies at Futureshop and EB around here were sold.

I've played through the game three times (so far), I need another one!

Capcom knows SHIT about supply and demand:

"Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was very hard to find in stores shortly after its North American release because of a shortage due to unexpectedly high demand. Capcom eventually made the decision to ship more units to stores in March 2006.[5] They later issued a new shipment in June 2006, which sold out in a week's time. An August 2006 shipment was announced and, as of this writing, copies from this shipment have sold out as well.[citation needed] Capcom has since sent out one or more shipments.[citation needed]"

They and Konami follow the same rule: only produce what you know you have a 150% chance of selling. Look how long before a re-release of Suikoden 3 came out....and 2 is still impossible to find
