So, Xenoblade Chronicles. Heard it's one of the redeeming games for the Wii, and I would like to play it. But a cursory inspection of Amazon results in a price tag of over $100 simply for a used copy. Ain't nobody got cash for that!

Wondering if any of you fine folk have this game and are willing to let shiney borrow it? Or if anyone knows how I can wield ancient dark magicks to conjure a functional copy from the aether.

Considering Nintendo of America didn't even plan to bring it over to the States in the first place, it's not surprising that there aren't an abundant number of copies available. Good luck finding a copy, first of all, and then good luck finding a copy that's under a hundred dollars.

it is the literal description of a rare gem.

Cheapest i could find for ya was 72 bucks on ebay, free shipping from germany.

Even Online gaming stores are selling it more expensive than that... Playasia has it at 83 usd

Actually the very best result was at AmiAmi which is a great store, but doesn't tell me what version is this copy

I got mine for 1,000 MXN because fuck yeah, you can buy the game in Mexico. The Last Story is available too but, no monies.

The Xbox One's announced price for Brazil is just shy of US$1000. Not that anyone other than idiots would be getting it, anyway.

I saw Metal Gear Rising Revengeance for US$160 at a store here a couple of months ago.

You know I could go on with stupid prices.

Gamestop is super-annoying, I know, but you might consider checking with them; two of the stores near (for a given value of near, the closest is an hour or two away) me have it.

They have a handy availability checker thing online here. (http://www.gamestop.com/wii/games/xenoblade-chronicles-gamestop-exclusive/98535)

But is it in English? I have The Last Story. We could arrange a trade...

I can see if I can find one, and then let you know the price.

Yes it is, looking at the page of the store I got it from...it and The Last Story have disappeared o_o

Pandora's Tower is still there though.
