Game market bummers

[Pumpkin]

When I was younger, I got the whole .hack set (Infection/Mutation/Outbreak/Quarantine) for about $15-20 each. Now they're all like 100+

It's a bummer, I really like those games

Anyone else have any experience with this?

EDIT: Just checked ebay and they're a bit cheaper but still not cheap by any means

[escobert]

What they cost that much now!? I had the first 3 and had planned on grabbing them when I get a ps2 again. Damn. I LOVE the anime and the games were super fun. Isn't there another set of game that went with the third Anime series //root?

[Pumpkin]

I loved the anime too. They were really fun games so I am sad

Are you talking about the G.U. games? I played one and didn't like it as much, but apparently most people disagree with me because they're also very expensive

[escobert]

Yeah the G.U. games! I just read that there's another coming out next year hopefully

I never tried any of the G.U. games Maybe I'll have to get a Ps2 emulator and play them.

I read the title and thought this would be a thread about untoward sexual liaisons in the marketplace.

Eternal Darkness was going for over one-hundred bucks on Amazon when I was hunting it down to fill a request. I had to buy it used because the lowest a new copy was going for was around 70 - 80 bucks. Instead I just paid 20. Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations was around the same price as a brand new Eternal Darkness. I think that happens because the game becomes rare so the price goes up, but that's just a guess on my part.

100 quid for what is essentially an 8 hour game. Oh supply and demand, you so crazy.

sharky had Eternal Darkness but scotty stole it from him. Now I understand why

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Bahaha, I kept telling sharky if I'm too slow at getting around to playing it, he should yell at me to send it back. Especially now I have very little time to play games and have very limited access to my consoles.

I just want Suikoden II but that's way too expensive. Someone needs to hurry up and put it on PSN now that I've beat the first game.

[Pumpkin]

I don't think he cares honestly, I was just teasing :P We still have your games

But now I realized that when you return it it will disrupt the whole flow I have on our new video game shelf Keep it, keep it forever!

Yeah Suikoden II is still a bummer in terms of cost. Its been that way for a good while now

[Ayen]

Games are like magic in Final Fantasy II. The prices are ridiculous. Only we don't have monsters we can kill to get more gil.

[Markus. D]

Well, if you love something enough ahahaha.

There's a game I used to play called Panzer Dragoon Saga on the Sega Saturn. It was a rare RPG game, there were about 10k copies sold in Europe. Quick Check of Ebay and it goes for about £200.

[Sephiroth]

I have them and and am waiting for an HD remake collection. .hack I mean.

We have been looking for the Shadow Hearts games for cheap for a while. They aren't insanely expensive but are basically still full price. There's a few others I keep an eye out for. Sadly more more recent games are much cheaper
