will they be like collector's items or rare like baseball cards and antiques in like 50-100 yrs? i'm talking about like ps1, ps2, etc. games. or the older ones.
will video games be valuable in the future?

They already are. Had to pay $26 the other day for Mario Golf for the 64. Freakin rediculous
Friends tell me that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is kindof expensive. I've been wanting to play it for a long time but havn't had the chance to

How much would someone pay for a regular nintendo plus one controller and a copy of the original FF1 for reg nintendo?
*wonders*
I know this isn't really talking about ps1 or ps2. But oh well.
I don't think they are the investment everyone claims they are. I mean, perhaps far into the future ancient systems will be worth a lot for its historical purpose, but as far as "rare" games, no. I mean, anyone who buys Chrono Trigger for more than fifty bucks for SNES is crazy. And I freaking love Chrono Trigger.
It won't be worth that much so as long as ROMs exist.
I don't see why not. As long as people are willing to pay large sums of money for games then a market for rare titles will exist. It may not be sensible to buy overpriced games, but collectors will pay anything for seemingly useless items if they're rare enough.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
There's an original Final Fantasy Tactics selling for some horrific price on EBay, so I suppose they already are, not that any of mine will be
I reckon some game be
Games like Speed Freaks you could probably find in a flea market so I think only rare games like Ico and FFI will be selling loadz

No, they will not ever be worth any money, except to collectors like most things that are valuable are today.
Mainly because even rare games won't be rare, considering the Revolution will have downloadable old games, if it does really well which I believe it will, in due time, all the new systems will make it possible to download their oldest games, especially the popular ones which would be worth monmey otherwise.
THE JACKEL
You're missing the point. Being able to play a game of Super Mario Bros. will always be easy, but actually owning the original cartridge will become increasingly rare over time.
Games don't really appreciate in value. Yeah, there are exceptions (look what those Suikoden freaks pay for their favorite games), but my Dragon Warrior cartridge is probably worth a couple bucks.
Mabye the original metal gear solid, (The original metal gear already is) in 50 years may become rare, or the original resident evil, because they have remakes and people may only buy those, so they may get rare
