I had a conversation with my friend at Gamestop today about Ridge Racers, while I was picking up Mecury. Apparently, demand for the game before the release was pretty low (again, odd seeing as how in Japan it was THE game to get with your PSP), very few reservations... no one really seemed to care about it. Somehow that ended up in very few copies of the game being available. At launch, my friend told me they only had 3 copies of RR, and since then have only recieved two additional shipments of the game, 3 copies each, for a total of nine copies sold so far. Mind you, this is one of the main gamestops in a very heavily populated area (northridge CA, part of Los Angeles), this store sold over 200 PSP's on launch day, and have sold dozens of copies of most games. Namco just not making enough RR's for the US yet... that's why they're so hard to find.
