Draconianz · Mar 22, 2011 2:00 AM

i was checking on ebay, amazon, and gamestop and saw spyro dawn of the dragon on the ps3 for over $50 - $200!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is it that rare for the ps3? on the 360 i brought it for $24 but i sold it with my 360 and got a ps3. WHY IS IT SO HIGH! ?

...Strange. I was going to tell you that those sellers on Amazon are being ridiculous and you could easily find a better price somewhere else, but I'm looking around on eBay and their prices aren't much better. Not to mention I only found four copies being sold. o__O

Maybe the PS3 version is just really rare or something? I always see copies of DotD at Gamestop for around $19.99, but I can't remember if I've ever seen a PS3 copy.

this is kinda BS to me cause.... i sold my copy of it on the 360 and now trying to get the ps3 version.... sighhhh..... -.- ... what a drag...

When I bought mine new off amazon last fall, it was $16 for the PS3 version. It was actually cheaper than the PS2 version which was $22.

Well, yesterday [Tursday], I saw Spyro the Dragon on Amazon for $80.

[hr:6dafa2ce67]
This price [SpyroTD] makes sense. It's an old game. A collectible.

[hr:6dafa2ce67]
[color=blue]These prices are ... out of line.

This seems to be the same problem I had a few years back when I was trying to get Spyro: A Hero's Tail for PS2. Every time I saw it in the stores it was always being sold for about $60!:mad: Luckily my Uncle managed to get 2 copies of the PS2 version for around $45 on eBay!:)

Draconianz · Mar 23, 2011 12:04 AM

if anyone can help me find a cheap dawn of the dragon... please do... or sell me yours?.... :geek:

riverhippo · Mar 23, 2011 1:03 AM

probably your best option is to wait a little bit. Amazon's prices are sometimes screwed up, but they sometimes level out over time. Or you could contact one of the sellers on Amazon.com, and ask them why the price is so high and/or if they would sell it to you for cheaper. Most of the game sellers on amazon treat a game like DotD like no one will ever buy. They might give it to you for cheaper than you'd expect!

I'm going to try haggling them to see if it works. I'll let you know what happens when I get a response.

SkylerTheDraogn · Mar 23, 2011 11:45 AM

since the game stop being made people are willing to pay more for a sealed copy as it's for more in collecting.
i would'nt pay that. but GBP and USD are differnt.
and i've all ready got it big_smile

Got a reply from a seller. She gave me a lame response. Here's a screenshot of the e-mail.

...oh, and enjoy the fluttershy persona...

Got my copy from GameStop for about 29 bucks or something...but yeah I stay off Amazon when looking for anything that involves electronics since the prices do seem to be driven way up, especially for a new product....perhaps just a result of the terrible economy.

riverhippo · Mar 24, 2011 11:05 PM

walmart has $40...

They still sell DotD in stores? That's surprising. Didn't it come out in 2008?

Um.. How is it surprising? Go to Gamestop and boom it'll bound to be there.
Gamestop sells games that are from the 1990s still, I found 1st Spyro game in Gamestop once. Though older the game, harder it'll be but still have a good chance.

Stormy · Mar 27, 2011 6:20 AM

I'm not talking about used game stores like Gamestop; of course they'll have old games. I already said I see copies there all the time. I'm talking about department stores like Walmart like riverhippo mentioned. I haven't seen DotD there for years.

Swaffy · Mar 28, 2011 3:40 AM

I see Dawn of the Dragon at Wal*Mart, and at GameStop in the "New Game" section.

Stormy · Mar 28, 2011 4:30 AM

Hmm, maybe they just have a lot of unsold copies they're trying to get rid of. I can't imagine they'd still be getting shipments of them as "new games"; it's not like it was all that popular compared to others.

Swaffy · Apr 11, 2011 5:24 PM

Yes Ma'am.

Hey listen. Gran Turismo 4 came out in 2005 and you can still find it in any store ranging from Walmart to HMV. So I wouldn't be surprised if DoTD popped up somewhere.
