Why are you sooo expensive!?

[Phoenix09215]

Okay, recently I decided that I wanted to replay my favourite game; Metal Gear Solid 3; Subsistance. But, the game disc wasn't in the box, and it wasn't in any either mine or my brothers PS2's... I even checked all my friends ones aswell. I was really annoyed because I know it wasn't me who has lost the disc! But anyway, I though to myself "guess I will just have to buy a new copy... they can't be that expensive can they??". Well I was waaayyy wrong!. I don;t want to buy a pre-owned one because I can't find one locally and I don't trust the internet people. This only leaves me with one option... forking out 80-150 pound for a new copy

Now for the discussion... What games are there what you want to buy but are just too expensive? I mean, MGS 3 can't be the only game out there which is so rare that it costs more then a brand new 360 or PS3 game? Or am I just THAT unlucky!!!??

The original System Shock and the original Silent Hill. .-.

*Looks at title* That's what she said! But business is business.

OP- Just get a pre-owned one if you're not willing to pay that much money.

Yeah, used games aren't really a big deal (unless you're a game company I guess). I buy most of my games on ebay and so far I've never had a problem with the quality of them. They're usually in near mint condition actually. You can get fairly recent releases for like $20, so your game shouldn't be too pricey.

In case you couldn't tell, I'm kind of a cheapskate, so really all new games are too expensive to me until the price drops on them.

Seriously? I know System Shock 2 is both expensive and bloody hard to find, but I got my copy of the original Silent Hill for like $20.

I'm currently waiting to find Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions and Enslaved on eBay. It might be a while, but I'm patient.

But that's not really what you're talking about. No "hard finds" for me. Just new ones that I'm not willing to spend full price on.

For a second I thought this thread was about women *Badum Tish*

But seriously the sega genesis is pretty expensive today. Though its a console not a game.

Steel Batalion for the XBox. Then again it was super expensive when it came out due to the included giant control board. I really want to play it though. It looked awesome.

Alan Wake....dammit when will I play you!?!

 

[drbarno]

most gamecube games i want seem to be double there new prices nowadays whn I look online. (which is the only place i can look as the gaming stores in my area stopped selling used gamecube games ages ago.)

 

[superbatranger]

Well, only problem I have is having to hand over more than 100 dollars to buy a game that's almost a year old.

Almost every collectors edition ever. Though, I did search for older games I loved playing as a child but couldn't find them, namely Evil Zone.

Space Channel 5 Part 2.

The American version is fairly standard for PS2 games.

The UK version.......runs around 80-150£ on eBay. Fuck.

However! My cousin just so happens to have a copy of it! My luck is astonishing.

But...what?! It's easily the most demanded of the series, so I would imagine you'd be able to find it relatively cheap. I have a friend who picked it up at a garage sale for for like, $10. My own copy I found for about $25 - 30 Canadian.

Personally, I found Silent Hill 3 to be the most expensive on average. Mind you, I did do quite a bit of online searching, and it totally depends on where you bought your copy.
