I went out to our local CEX earlier today — CEX is a nationwide chain of second-hand video game shops, for those unaware and/or American — in the hope that I might find a copy of Lost Sphear I had seen a few weeks back.
Chris (of podcast fame) had reminded me that Lost Sphear had only seen a very limited physical release direct from Square Enix, so a copy out in the wild was something worth nabbing — particularly as it was only £22, which is cheap as chips for a boxed Switch game.
I wasn't anticipating it still being there as the last time I went into that CEX must have been a month or two back, but as fortune would have it, it was still there! I guess it's a game that was just a little too obscure for your average CEX-goer to pick up and go "ooh, I'll 'ave that". Anyway. I now have a copy of Lost Sphear, which is nice.
I took the opportunity to grab a bunch of cheap stuff for older platforms too, and came away with an armful of goodies for just £30 in total. Besides Lost Sphear, I nabbed Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2, Dark Sector and The Club for Xbox 360, and International Cue Club 2, Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament, Primal, Pipe Mania, Tourist Trophy, Fighting Fury, Gottlieb Pinball Classics and Fantavision for PS2. Most of these were 50p. Bargain.
Can't do that with your fancy-pants Google Stadia now, can you?
