Prices for this game is $60+. Just look at the auction for instance:

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27221&item=1948732127" target="_blank">linky</a>

The dude wants $90 for a sealed copy and $60 for the BBA.

Then there are those people selling PSO items that hit over $175 in ebay. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

The answer is an assertive yes. Although..... you can find them on Ebay... good luck at your local stores.

There is a shortage.... no one knows what the problem is.... but they were under manufactured. EB says there is something wrong with the game and they are being recalled (I highly doubt this). I have not heard of 1 problem with PSO/GCN/BBA or 56K..... I think their statements are stupid. "We had to pull them from our shelf because they were recalled." I guess they were the only retailer that had to do so.

I got mine from Target no problem last week. Maybe its just hard to find in some parts of the country? It hasnt sold out really fast here or anything. We only got 6 three weeks ago, and they are just now down to the last 2.

But yes, its insane what the ebay sellers are asking for. Im sure with some trips to Best Buy or Target or Walmart or something you can find one.

the second run was supposed to be c. dec 12 of last year
and i did see some more pop up around christmas time
at the stores when i went out.
i thought it was odd myself.

I have the game and the 56k modem.
I cannot get online using the 56k. I have freinds that have no problem w/ the broadband so I wouldnt doubt it.

Sega had not anticipated such a high demand for this new PSO, and it was only produced in lower quantities than your typical game.

But if you look hard enough you should be able to find a copy no problem, the keyboard & BBA on the other hand...

I'm glad I bought my copy. Just hope I can get online through the BBA without any problems.

One of the local stores here recently had a new shipment come in. Only about five copies though, and I have yet to see it pop up in any other stores. Still didn't see any network adapters though.

I guess I am wrong now :)

Maybe the re-release is coming now.

BTW... on the 56K modem not being able to get online..... what ISP are you running? Supposively it will not work with free ISP's.... or AOL.

thanks,
