Idea Abe '99 (PS1) on sale for $180

http://www.japangamestock.com/buy_vi...oducts_id=5517

As you can see, it's fairly expensive. As much as I love Oddworld, I won't be buying it. It's pretty much first come, first served. I bought Abe A GoGo from that site and it disappeared from the site immediately (ie. that was the last one in stock).

I have no idea of how many copies of this game they have. Judging by the price I'd say they're down to their last copy (but don't hold me to that!). Just thought I'd let everyone know that it's there anyway, even if it isn't the cheapest copy avaliable.

Rip off, this thing is Abe's Exoddus and you can buy that for a few bucks.

Hmm, apparently Amazon.co.jp lists it for about the same price
http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%AA%E3...4137999&sr=1-1

I have no idea why it's so high, I guess it really must be rare

I would say it's because they're not planning to create any more discs. Either way, the Japanese version of Exoddus seems much rarer than the English version. Perhaps it arrived quite late in the PS1 market?

Japanese stuff is awesome. I'd pay extra, if I had any money.

Seen 'em go for about the same price on ebay, sometimes listed at higher (saw a copy on there for over $200). Abe A GoGo is cheaper ^^;

I got Abe's Oddysee for £5 in 2003, pre owned. It will be so cheap now.

Fact is it's hard to come by, and since there's clearly at least some demand for it, they can afford to charge a fair bit for it.

No, even when I was that young I had better things to buy. Them cards are a big money making scheme.

I still don't get the whole Japanese thing though?

Basically, the Japanese version of Abe's Exoddus for PS1 is rarer than the English version.

Pfft, yeah I'm sure as a child you never blew your allowance on something that has no value to you today.

Pokemon or not, we all make stupid purchases. I was into Pokemon for a brief stint, but I never actually played the card game. In total, I spent a combined sum of my parents' and I's money somewhere in the venue of 500 bones. I also owned Pokemon blue, red, and yellow although I never played any of them through to the end. I grew out of it pretty fast, and I'm happy to say I never "moved on" to Yugi-Oh! or Magic as many of my friends had tended to do.

No. Japanese PSOnes are a different region to english PSOnes, which are (I think?) NTSC and PAL. Can't remember what the Japanese region name is, though.

Depends entirely on whether your PSX checks for regions.

You can use a swapdisk to play games from other regions.

Ah. I didn't know about either of those things.

But hey, if it's that rare it'll probably be bought for a collection, so I doubt it'd get played anyway.

Aside from the language it's in, nothing noteworthy. It's just a title (and boxart) change to make it more accessible to Japanese people.

Because GT Interactive were very good at localization, and they knew what would appeal to a Japanese audience. Their tastes differ. Live with it.

And once again I point you to this:
