the thing is...
as I said I've not seen a single Sylphia on auction on ebay for a year?? if there was one I would have bid on it.
there's none on Yahoo.jp.
In stores in Japan they're now selling for double what they were a year ago.
even if there are thousands and thousands of copies out there, no ones actually selling any?? other than the really expensive 'buy it nows'


Sylphia is pretty cool, but there are so many other great games out there and it is not worth nearly as much as what it sells for. Again, if this is the last game you need to complete a PC Engine collection then so be it. Otherwise there are so many other better PCE games that you could buy 5 - 10 of for the price of Sylphia.
well for me it was one of the only PC-engine shmups I had never owned so I really wanted to check it out  :D

Sylphia's gonna wind up being the one that I really shell out for- I planned on never spending more than 150 for one title but being a vert shooter lover I need it to complete my verts- I have all the hucard verts (last five on the way) and there's six CD verts that I still need- Sylphia being the big fish.  Horizontals I love too but not as much as verts- I'm comfortable now with that the fact that I may never get my hands on a Magical Chase- but a PCE vert by Compile?  Need it.  :|

Many people are even foolish enough to buy a worn used copy of a game for $5 less than retail at EB and Gamestop type stores, so it is not surprising what happens when these people decide to jump into retro gaming with very little knowledge.

Yesterday at Gamestop: Crisis Core for PSP - On Sale 29.99. Used copy with no box or manual - 27.99

 :shock:

They're worse than FuncoLand, who fortunately went belly up. I boycotted that store and submitted op-ed pieces in the local paper about how they were ripping their customers off.  They had a policy to NEVER sell the box or manual with a game.
