Jet Set Radio Future is no longer being manufactured.

If you want the game I suggest buying it. After 6 months of manufacturing the game has already been canned.
I think I'll hold onto my game and sell it for full price in a year to some sucker.

the ign xbox site says something about it.

Oh dear. Time to buy. I still don't have an Xbox to play it on, but, well, that's beside the point.

*hugs my copy that much tighter*

Don't worry baby, you're not going anywhere...

[EDIT] The irony of my post wasn't even realized by me as I typed it. And the fact that it's true makes me that much sadder.

Me neither. Come to think of it I really haven't seen copies of it around. Seemed like most stores sold one run and didn't reorder. *-neo

That's funny... my local Best Buy can't get rid of their supply of the original JGR... I wonder if JSRF would hang around long enough to end up in the $2.49 bin? $50.00 still seems a little steep for me having not even tried it yet...

Every store near me has plenty of copies of JSRF. Heck, it's the only decent Xbox game some of them bother to stock regularly. Note to Best Buy, Morrowind for Xbox came out three weeks ago, time to get it in stock.

It's sad that the best title on the Xbox still didn't sell well, but just reaffirms that most people are idiots with no taste. I'm sort of glad it isn't going the way of JGR though, where Sega printed way too many copies and had to sell for $5 each in the end.

Without trying to sound like a troll... I must disagree. I mean... yea it would have been nice if it sold better, but I don't think it deserved to. You guys must know (remember from when I was hear in 2001) how much I love Jet Grind Radio. Its one of my 10 or so favorite games ever. Easily the best game of 1999, best game on Dreamcast, one of the best of the best five years.

I bought JSRF the first day I had the chance, which was on its third or fourth day of release (had to come home from school). I was bitterly dissapointed. I mean, yes, the graphics were amazingly beautiful and the character design was as good as it always have been. But the gameplay was stripped down. Seperating the battle and tag sequences was a horrible mistake IMO which drained the game of all its tension and excitement. I literally felt that the game was pretty much just you looking for small dots on a map.

JSRF was probably my 2nd biggest dissapointment ever. I never managed to figure out what was really that good about it (IGN even predicted in one of the last sentences of their review that big JGR fans could be dissapointed). I returned it for... I cant remember, actually. So, I must say that, unlike JGR, it didnt really deserve to be a big breakthrough hit on Xbox.
