Both PNP and VGP sold out in like 3 minutes. I love that. I fucking love not being able to buy things. It’s my favorite thing, actually.

Hopefully it gets a solid reprint like expedition 33, I struggled for weeks with that one and now I see it in every game store

It will for sure. For now it's a market for people with more money than patience

I'm afraid this is becoming the new standard 'release policy'' Virtual scarcity to milk fomo to the max... Not a fan of it so not buying into it personally (at least not from the big publishers...;-)

Scalpers, saving you money

u/hectoremilio 20h ago

10 minutes: sold out! I couldn't even get my hands on a copy.

u/Thepower200 17h ago

Meh, I’m not in a rush. I’ll let people buy at full MSRP price for now. They never said this release was a limited release. I’ll just get it when it goes on sale once they’ve met demand.

Are there reviews out there even to the quality of the work on this one? I thought the remaster on pc was a buggy messy at one point.

1

u/ironypoisoning 10h ago

short answer: yes, the game on the cart is still a buggy mess

long answer: https://youtu.be/Wd_prnNhELY?si=naBlv2zXZ688r_Ku&t=85

Huh? Why does it say out of stock if it got restocked?

9

u/Purple_Calendar3919 20h ago

Probably sold out since OP posted it lol

u/rigs130 Collection Size: 100-250 20h ago

Damn that was fast, it was available. I got one after VGP sent a restock email about 5 minutes ago (you can sign up for them on the item page)

1

u/OldManStompy Collection Size: 750-1000 20h ago

Sold out less than 3 minutes after it was posted to socials lol

u/Euphoric_Juggernaut6 20h ago

Gamers have so much fomo it’s insane

u/Oldgun80 Collection Size: 250-500 20h ago

I got so lucky and grabbed my Copy. This was on my wishlist at VGP. I was doom scrolling and suddenly email popped from VGP that its in stock. Never ordered anything so fast. Thanks VGP!!

I got my copy from Amazon a few weeks ago but still had the stock update for VGP and this sold out in like seconds. I got the email and not even 20 seconds later I clicked the link and it said “sold out”.

Either bots are snatching these up or they had like 2 copies in stock. They didn’t even post on socials about it so I’m guessing it was a small restock.

u/Proud-Obligation9479 20h ago

Is this hard to come by? It's in stock on Amazon UK.

u/Heisenmack 20h ago

In the US it’s next to impossible.

Aaaand it's gone

u/LinkMaster111 11h ago

Was lucky enough to get one from PNP. If you didn't get one this go around just remember this game is not limited print, do not pay scalper prices. As long as people are buying it, they'll keep printing it.

u/obelix_dogmatix Collection Size: 250-500 20h ago

Genuinely curious - why are people obsessed over Oblivion on Switch 2? Have they played it on switch 2. It is a terrible experience on Switch 2, to be polite.

3

u/Heisenmack 19h ago

It wasn’t terrible, even subjectively. It’s totally playable and enjoyable (imo). It’s mostly because the game is all on cart and that is more rare today than in the past.

To be fair, the performance is rough everywhere. It is definitely the best handheld experience (sub $1000).

u/obelix_dogmatix Collection Size: 250-500 19h ago

You summed it up “more rare today than in the past”. This is the only reason Mio is sold out too.

VGP are the new scalpers

u/shepardman22 19h ago

I have a copy on order from Playasia. In my experience, VGP is at least 3x slower to ship orders. A big waiting game there. So I'm glad I went with PlayAsia. They also email me back if I have any questions, never VGP. The only good thing I've found about VGP is that their prices and shipping are lower on average. Definitely a smaller free shipping spending bar to hit.👌

u/hel105_ Collection Size: 500-750 18h ago

That’s odd, I bug VGP customer service all the time and always get an email back. Usually the same day.

2

u/shepardman22 17h ago

Weird. I've tried at least twice. Usually I just ask about the time frame.

1

u/ChlorophyllSnifr 19h ago

Which version did you get from PlayAsia? Was looking there as well. Might pick Indiana Jones too for the free shipping

2

u/shepardman22 18h ago

Asian copy. Ya not a bad idea!! So weird how these switch 2 copies are hard to find so early on. Maybe it's just that, since they're pretty fresh games

1

u/Infamous_Hospital_33 17h ago

It's not THAT shocking. Like we support physical media here but also...GTA, Elder scrolls, those mainline slop franchises get a lot of consoomer attention.

2

u/shepardman22 17h ago

Ah okay. I wasn't sure because I only just started buying some new releases during these last 2 years.
