What causes some games to become hard to find?
Right now, I am thinking mainly of Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3. Yes it can be found but the relatively few places that seem to have in stock are not selling it cheap. And it would not be the first game that seems to just vanish after just a couple of months on the shelves.

Game didnt get a good release or many reviews, poor advertising, limited supply, 'foreign' game
Games like that generally dont sell in large volumes so hold price well when there are uk versions.

they only press so many at a time & do a new batch when existing stock has run out.
if they think that there isn't enough demand to justify the cost of the minimum run ...

I've noticed that the original Knights of the Old Republic is starting to become hard to get hold of. I've lost my copy :mad:
Last time I looked online for it I found that retail was out of stock but people were selling it second hand for £20+ :surprised: There doesn't seem to be a budget version.

Aye, i found it really hard to get a copy of Ultimate Soccer Manager 98/99 a few years back.
