Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6145876.html) has the story that Capcom is rereleasing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney due to the high demand for the game.
Much to the chagrin of second-hand retailers, Capcom has responded to gamers' appeals and decided to bring Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney back to stores. A Capcom representative today told GameSpot that the company is shipping more units, and that gamers "interested in purchasing a copy should check with their store," implying that Internet reports that the game is now back in stores are true.
Awesome news. Hearing that it was in such demand made me want to play it, but $60 was way to much for me.

I didn't realize the price had inflated so much. I've been happily playing it since day 1.

I didn't know they were in short supply. There's always plenty sitting in the two local WalMart's around here (middle of New York state).
Damn it. I've always had a small interest in the title and thought about picking it up a few times... but just said "meh, I'll buy it when it's 20 bucks or less... no hurry"...
If it's going to be sold out though... maybe I should pick it up now. But I'm already spending WAY too much on games this month : (
Bah... decisions, decisions....

I haven't been able to find a copy yet.
This is great news for me. As the game sold out from everywhere I saw online.

Aw, man!
I was just about to sell my copy to Kelegacy too.
Speaking of which, I hear tell that he has a copy of Trauma Center he's willing to part with.
This is great news though. Phoenix Wright was a game that really deserved a bigger audience. It seemed that it was really hitting its stride, sales-wise when they pulled it. It was one of my favourite games of late. Great characters and crazy cases (not to mention stellar writing) all really came together for a fun experience.

Pester your retailer to get it in. (http://www.planetgamecube.com/rumorsArt.cfm?artid=11194)

Rented it from Gamefly and started playing it last night. It's just not doing it for me. Too much dialogue, too little game. I will give it points for originality and quirkiness though.

Omg, it took me ages to find a copy, and finally my girlfriend saw a single copy at Best Buy. Such a great game.
I suppose Phoenix Wright will have to be my next DS venture now...

Hmmm... Good to see more copies... I might pick one up for myself, even though i'm working on a loaned copy (Fifth case already!)...
In other news, how is trauma center so rare? I've seen quite a few copies the last time i was at the local Best Buy...

I'll definitely be picking this up now. Thanks Capcom! I wish that handheld releases didn't have such short lifespans. I need to pick up Minish Cap before that's gone as well - I already missed two of the Vanias and several other GBA titles. :(
Now we need to see more copies of Trauma Center!!

That is the best descriptor of Phoenix Wright ever. I will have to remember that the next time I try explaining the premise to someone.
