I've been waiting for the price to drop a bit - cheapest I could find elsewhere was £28.99. 4% cashback available at TopCashback too.

Taking place on the same continent as the fan favourite Trails in the Sky offshoot of Nihon Falcom’s storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of Cold Steel (Sen no Kiseki in Japanese) is the first in the series to tread Erebonian soil and explore the inner political conflicts of this oft-mentioned powerhouse nation in detail.
With a standalone story that also delves into the expansive lore that has become synonymous with the series, players can enjoy school life and bond with fellow students to earn new abilities in battle, take advantage of speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system, and take part in dramatic events that stand to shift the balance of power between Erebonia’s feuding nobility and commoners.
Key Features:
-A World Rich in Depth for Veterans and Newcomers Alike: The events of Trails of Cold Steel are expertly told so that longtime Trails veterans and newcomers to the series alike can equally enjoy its detailed, highly nuanced storyline.
-New Link System Adds Depth to Combat: Take advantage of the Combat Link System by bonding with allies throughout the school year, netting a variety of combat benefits including healing, guarding and more.
-A Sleek Update to a Classic Growth Mechanic: Trails of Cold Steel streamlines the classic “Orbment” magic system from previous titles with new “ARCUS” units, allowing for more ready access to abilities and quicker customization.
-Cross-Save Makes Playing Anywhere Possible: Trails of Cold Steel was developed with CrossSave for both the PS3™ and PlayStation®Vita systems, allowing players to unravel events within the game from home or on the go.
Would love to go for this, but alas, Grainger Games usually ship games out that are unsealed. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but I like my "new" games to be new.
Still, I'm going to give some (reluctant) heat.

Have to agree with what you say, although price is fair. Haven't bought anything from them since Christmas for the same reason...

People often say it's not new if it's not sealed. In reality a good few publishers don't seal their games to start with. When I worked in games retail we always had people say they wanted sealed games but the reality is if there are no dummy boxes or sleeves provided we have to gut the games to display them on the shelves. I completely agree that sealed games are nice but the idea they are not new if they have had the insides removed and placed into a plastic bag until purchase is a bit odd.

Playing this now, it's really good. Definitely worth £20 even if it's not actually a new copy

Nothing odd about it, I don't want some greasy fatso pawing my discs transferring them from case to plastic sleeve and vice versa. The only fingerprints I want on my games are mine, no-one elses. I've never had an unsealed game from amazon. Can't say that for game or grainger.

Probably related to the fact that Amazon don't have their games in stores...
