Title: I spotted Puyo Pop Fever!!!...
Post by: Uncle Rich AiAi on March 19, 2004, 04:15:15 PM
YES!

Go to DVDCrave where I saw the GC version of Puyo Pop Fever listed!

BUT.....

It's selling for $49.95, with the RRP being $59.95.  And guess what?  The PS2 and Xbox version RRP is $49.95.  Great, Atari decided to screw GC owners for the millionth time....(I know it's only $10 more, but why us GC owners?)

I bet it come down to something like this:

Atari staff #1: Hey, who's gonna buy the GC version of Puyo Pop Fever?
Atari staff #2: Yeah, no one I guess.  I mean, GC owners don't like Sega games.  Xbox owners do 'cos they are cool!
Atari staff #1: I suppose you are right, lets make the RRP price higher.
Atari staff #2: $10 more would be awesome to the max!


Seriously, I don't know how long I can put up with this.  MGS: TTS has been taken off the list of games for the Zelda bonus disc, and now this.  NAL is enough.  NAL & Atari is too much...

Yay!

Here's betting one guy will buy all seven copies and sell them on eBay. That's what happened with Sonic Heroes initial stock at DVDCrave. Hopefully they'll be able to get a steady supply of them in, that'd be awesome. Awesome to the max (ahahaha, Futurama). Maybe DVDCrave got them in from the UK, hence the $59.95 'slashed' to $49.95. *Shrugs shoulders*

Have you read your Puyo Pop thread at the Atari forum?  The guy from DVDCrave replied to your post, and said to hurry b/c they got a very limit stock.......so yeah.....

And you read my mind, I was thinking of buying all remaining 7 copies to sell on ebay!

"Guys,
we have stock of this game ready to ship to retailers I can assume just don't want to buy it. If you're a fan then pester them to get it in and we'll ship it to them ASAP "

That's from 'gamemaster', an admin at the retarded Atari forum. OOPS, I DOUBT EVERY STORE WOULD REFUSE IT ON EVERY SYSTEM.

It is 1/4 thru the year 2004, and I have voted Atari Australia as the worst runned company in the universe for 2004.    Be proud guys.

(NAL comes a close second)
