    Well.... you can make it on your way, but not directly on your way. Fullerton is right next to Anahiem (Disneyland). About a half hour from LA if traffic is good. What Freeways will you be using between LA and SD? I can get you some directions if you like. The Regan Years is only about 1 mile North from the 91 Freeway.

    I think Mega Man Fan and Ze_ro are both right on the money here. (no pun intended) GameStop inflates their prices terribly... is that wrong? C'mon, Tyson Punch out is not rare, but the still charge $14 for it. Same with FF3... not rare, but desirable, so they charge $40 for it. In some indutries that would be criminal... so prices a regualted by the government. But alas.... video games are not regulated, (except for those damn ratings!) so we the consumers get to deal with price gouging.

     

    Does anyone honnestly believe that the $50 price tag for a new game is really warranted? Granted employees need to be paid and companies need to profit, but $50 for a compact disc is stupid, is it not? Movie DVDs only cost about $20 and are much more expensive to create than a video game. Just my little ovbservation.

     

    With regaurds to people who brag about a good deal they got.... well it depends. If you are a collector, then you should just be satisfied with your purchase. If this is your business, then you should enjoy your money. I do both... I didn't really need a Sealed FF3, but I bought it anyway because I knew I could get a profit.... the proceeds went to help support VintageGamer.com. I brag about making a profit at times, but usually only in reguards to the stockmarket.

    I have heard of this cart, but have never seen it. I would love to see a pic if you can post one. To the best of my knowledge, they were all released in Japan and few made it this way. I can't give you a good idea on rarity... what is an uncommon JAP cart here, might be super common over there. Sorry, but I just don't know.

     

    As far as value.... I am not positive. I would suspect it would fetch about $40 - $50 on ebay.... but ebay has been proven to be very ficckle on stuff.

     

     

    Hope that helps.

    I planned my Vegas Vacation last year to coincide with CGE on purpose. I enjoyed gambling and have been back once since CGE2K2. I have got to say I probably liked gambling because I won money. :D

     

    Anyway, I have not been to Philly, although I plan to try and make the trip in '04. As for CGE, I spent a good 3 or 4 hours there on Sunday last year. I got some good deals on games and generally liked the show. The museum was very cool! Hotel rates are not too bad as long as you stay away from the big hotels on the strip. If you stay at stateline (California/Nevada boarder) it is only about $20 -$30 a night and only about a half hour from Vegas. Since laster year was my first Vegas experience, I wanted to stay on the strip so we opted to get a room at the Flamingo. (I felt it was worth it)

     

    Besides the whole "Vagas Thing" I can think of one more reason for you to go to CGE this year.... VintageGamer.com will be there! I have requested a booth next to or across from DP or AA. :)

    The info on the Atlus site is old.... I work at Atlus, they are no longer producing it. That is also how I know the production on this one was pretty low. You might have better luck buying this game online, but none of the Gamestop's or any other stores in my area have this game. Check the Gamestop website.... new copies are no available anymore. I would suggest that you collectors pick-up a copy for your collections.

     

    Just for the record, ther seller is a friend of mine... I am not trying to pimp his stuff for him or anything.

     

    My best guess would place Cubivore at a 7 on a GameCube Rarity scale. It won't be quite as rare as NCAA Basketball 2k3, but it will be difficult to get a hold of.

    I work as a Game Tester at Atlus. Unfortunately, Cubivore was released before I started working there.... that is kind why I was curious. That is also why I know the production was really low. I have an open game I just got to play, and I got one to keep sealed to sell later. :D
