samba de amigo price

[Strider]

was it ?79.99 when it first came out in Pal Land?

[Escape-To-88]

I remember it being 99.99 in Electronics Boutique (or had it changed to GAME then??) for sure, at least it was in the Guildford branch.

[NecronomiconUK]

I seem to remeber it was 80 quid

[Papercut]

First batch was £99.99 at Game, second batch dropped to £79.99 online at places like Amazon. Not sure if the second batch ever made it into the shops; if so probably only to fulfil original pre-orders at the £99.99 price. The game on it's own was £29.99, released alongside the first batch. Time difference between batches was 2-4 weeks. Rumoured 4000 units released in the UK.

First batch was £99.99 at Game

Good to see the old memory's still in tact

Is this being covered in Retro Gamer by any chance? It's going for pitiful amounts on ebay now £26 for mint PAL box sets :S

[Cepp]

Ohoho, looks like I might actualy have this game in the not so distant future if prices have actualy dropped to more reasonable amounts.

[MattyD]

Gearbox are due to finish off the Wii version pretty soon. Whether that makes the price of the original go up or down is anybody's guess.

[MikeRox]

can't get much lower lol I was gutted when I saw it go for £26 on ebay. (My sets both cost £100 each... yes I am mad )

[Wools]

And this is just one example of why Videogame collecting is really not worth it.

Despite what everyone thinks, no game will hold its value or will be worth a massive amount in any given time.

As Samba is such a good party game, now is the time to pick it up as all the vultures have got their copy.

[MikeRox]

It's not worth it if you're in it purely from a financial point. In fact it's one of the biggest wastes of time and money I can think of if you collect for the future values. I bet there are thousands of people up and down who are utterly devestated at the PSN/Virtual Console/XBLA releases now, finally making some utter gems availible to all without needing a second mortgage.

The only reason I stumped up £100 per set for 2 packs of Samba was because I actually wanted it in 2 player, and when I was going for a full PAL set I also needed the PAL ver as I only had the Japanese ver to start with.

I remember picking this up from a misprice for ?52 when it first came out. Think it was from whsmiths online.

Absolutely awesome game, my mates used to be amazed by my flailing arms when i played this on super-hard

[boxhead]

wehn I worked in another world it was ?60 new. I know this because when someone traded it in, the price gets halved, then if they want cash for it, half it again and thats what he did. ?15. and that my friends, is how i got my mint copy of pal samba de amigo for ?15.

[Dazzyman]

Ive got mine sat in its box. Too ill to have ever used it properly but adore it on the quick goes Ive had (its their incase I ever get well lol) could never part with it as Lee brought it back from JPN special for us at VGI.

Another world, used to use them sometimes they sold me the last Drummania cheap and had to send the plastic bits extra as lost em lol

[qupe]

There are a couple on ebay now. One is £99 plus £15 postage and has a bidder. The others have bidders too.

I paid £69.99 brand new not long after it came out. Got a second set of maracas (unofficial for £15). Love the game and broke the lampshade at my old house during a good gaming session. Now you have got the damn tune stuck in my head...
