I'm trying to find the game ICO for the Playstation 2.

The problem is that this game has been out of production for a while and is hard to find. I'm willing to spend up to around 50-60 dollars on it. I simply cannot seem to find this game anywhere IN STOCK. I will buy it used or new, preferably with the original case and manual.

Any help?

Ouch that might be tough, I just checked gamefly and they don't even have a copy available for rent O_O
Hope ya find it though, based on the reviews I just glanced at it seems like a pretty epic game.

Why not try Ebay? There's bound at least one copy there.

I actually have a copy, in the original box. I'm not sure if the manual is there, but I highly doubt it.

I remember having no trouble finding one, though. My brother just picked it up one day at a local Gamestop.

I checked gamestop earlier and it didn't say they had any. I checked again just now and saw a little backorder check sign and ico showed up. apparently my local gamestop has it in stock used for 28 bucks. Guess where I'm going tomorrow?

Also, to give you guys an estimate of it's supposed rarity, the price of a new game ranges from 159.99-199.99 US dollars. Used, you're lucky to get 55 dollars with everything together still.

Hah the US box sucks . The UK/ Japan box is so much cooler- as it's based off Giorgio de Chiciro's art(or however you spell it)

But anywho, I picked this up during the summer about 3 or 4 years ago, and only played it a few times. It is an epic game in a sense, but the gameplay takes a while to get used to- and Yorda is the most uncooperative partner in a game ever, she'll do something at one point when it suits her, but when it doesn't she'll just stand there making those ridiculous noises.

I'm not sure what shops are in America, but I got mine in the UK for £19.99, which is around $30-35 I think. However, mine was the re release version- i.e the one that was released in 2005 or 2006, near when SotC was released, so if you want the original copy then that may be very hard to come across, and you'd probably have to pay more for that one.

Ignore that, the re release was Europe exclusive. In that case, I'm sure they'll have it on eBay somewhere, but I wouldn't pay such a high price for it.
