    Good luck getting a copy if you don’t already have one, scalpers have already raided everywhere.

    Edit: apparently the Christmas drinking has affected my reading comprehension

    Still a warning for anyone else thinking the same

      Holy fuck, I had no idea. I just checked the prices online and they are absolutely insane. Why is it so expensive? I got the game and the console for like 20 Euros about 10 years ago. It’s not in great condition though.

      Edit: Oh, it’s just so expensive because of this video? That’s pretty crazy.

        Because scalpers expected this to be in demand after the news broke and set their bots to buy every cheap copy by unknowing private sellers in order to create a oligopoly and heavily gauge pricing

          But isn’t the whole point to play a burned copy of the game?
          This seems like scalping concert tickets to a concert that allows you to copy tickets in the printer.

            No, the legit copy of the game allows you to play pirated copies of other games. It bypasses the piracy check in the console and allows you to swap discs to a pirated copy of whatever other game you want.
