If you really want this game, it’s out there, you just have to do some hardcore digging. After hours of digging through websites via Google search results, I got a copy this week (ordered on Tuesday) from an online store for $89.95, just received it today. I am reluctant to reveal my source, for obvious reasons, and I may have gotten the last copy anyway.
In any event, look for local, small game stores that happen to have a website and online ordering available. The only way you’ll get a copy for the original price (or below) is if the retailer does not realize what they have, and just happens to have a copy or two left that has been on their shelves for the last two years and never sold.
If you come across a retailer that claims to have it in stock, verify through e-mail or a phone number; due to my e-mailing to make sure, I actually had two stores change their web sites to say “out of stock” after I asked them to check for me.
They are out there, just takes a mixture of effort and luck to find one.
[Edit: chris77, if you read this, I sent you a PM with the name of the store. I still don’t know if they have any copies left.]
