IGN writes: "NBA 2K pretty much owns the basketball videogame market. Just ask 2K Sports and they'll tell you. Last year they owned a huge chunk of the b-ball audience while NBA Live, well, didn't. But EA Sports is trying to pick itself up off the mat with a brand new name – it's now called NBA Elite – and a fresh control scheme that pulls from the successes that the NHL and Fight Night series found years ago".
OPM: How much do you think people are willing to play for an old PlayStation game or a rare collector’s editions? A few hundred? A few thousand? Here are some of the most expensive PS1, 2 and 3 games ever bought or sold.
I'm still looking for an affordable english version of aquanauts holiday for the ps3. 5 years later and still no such luck.
Luckily ico and sotc was rereleased on the ps3..
Same here! Plenty of Chinese language ones but trying to find that Hong Kong english one... has to be the rarest officially released (non recalled) game on PS3? :/
They forgot:
1) Tales of Destiny PS1 = $500
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...
2) Tales of Destiny 2 PS1 = $250
http://www.amazon.com/Tales...
3) Vagrant Story PS1 = $150
http://www.amazon.com/Vagra...
But man, that UC2 Fortune Hunter Ed price is overkill! >.<
I bought Vagrant Story in like new condition on ebay for 35$ earlier this year. PS1 games on Amazon are almost always overpriced.
it happened just like with Persona. You could buy Persona 1 and 2 for like $10-15 on Amazon but then Persona 3 came out, the series became mainstream and all of a sudden the prices from the old games jumped dramatically. And now the same thing is happening with Tales...
Maybe you right for other titles on amazon. But Tales of Destiny 1 & 2 copies always been rare this years. I've been searching for a cheap copies for both of them on playasia or ebay and it's no luck >.<
- Destiny 1 = $700

- Destiny 2 = $250

That's why i never trade my Tales of Abyss and Tales of Graces f + Xillia Day 1 Edition. In case they became very rare in the future.
only one I have it's Megaman Legends 2 but I think the Tron Bonne game is more expensive.
I have a shadow heart and LOD unopened copies at my mothers place maybe it's time to dig them out.
just remember that the more you wait to sell em the more valuable they will become!
This isn't always true. Even a sealed game loses value when a digital version is released. Granted, Legend of Dragoon has already had the digital hit the market.
Most of these games on the list are not even half the price they had shown. I own a used game store and, using Mega Man 2 Legends as an example, we have it for $55. Legend of Dragoon is a $15 game.
These titles are grossly overpriced in this article and it seems like they grabbed the highest listed eBay price rather than doing any research.
Thank you. I was saying this to my computer screen the whole time I was reading this terrible article.
Junkie Monkeys: Before the PlayStation 4 releases and starts to gain momentum with gamers, we decided to take a look at five rare PlayStation 3 titles.
I have the MvC2... I should have left it sealed and just downloaded from the store. Kicks self in butt.
EDIT: Just remembered it wasn't sealed when I bought it (GameStop) had them check other stores, but that was the last one from San Antonio to Austin. Only some stores got them.
When I used to buy games from GameStop all the time I would refuse to get a copy that was opened. I hated when they would do that, especially since they keep sealed copies in a drawer usually.
It ain't worth that to me... I'd sell it in a heartbeat if I had one. Love Uncharted, but damn... 10k is a lot of money.
Yeah if I had 10k now that'll go straight to my Masters fee, that said Uncharted 2 is relatively new game just imagine how much it'll cost in 10-20 years time I would probably keep it for that matter.
Just Cause 2 is becoming rare for some reason. The price used at Gamestop has gone up from $17.99 to $29.99. You better get it soon, its an amazing game. I was lucky to grab the last new copy in my city last year for $19.99.
The fifteen rarest and most valuable games on the Playstation 3 and what makes them so rare.
Lol the cod ones arent rare i could look them up online and find them cheap.
Now the uncharted one that's a rare one weren't only a select few made if i call correctly??
Never understood that stupid decision...
Even if it was like £150...I would of still bought it.
And I have one! Courtesy of the 2009 tournament in Rosemont, IL! Team Drake represent!
I thank God I was able to buy Ar Tonelico Qoga for $60 and Hyperdimensional Neptunia for $50. lol!
I better get Hyperdimensional Neptunia MkII on release day to be safe. ^^
Yeah...i kinda wanna play Hyperdimensional Neptunia but its way overpriced >.< although i did get Qoga on release date. Now i'm just wondering if i should get MKII.
I too, am glad I got the limited editions of those two games before they became rare. Atelier Totori, which is also published by NISA, will probably become rare as well.
The funny things is I didn't even know Ar Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimensional Neptunia where release in limited numbers. lol!
No wonder a lot of people in my area can't seem to buy those games locally XD
I will be preordering H.N MkII also. As for Ar Tonelico Qoga, I wanted to get that but I'm not made out of money and I never play the other titles, I skipped out.
I still have the first one. xD Wish I remember who on N4G insisted that NISA limited editions are not limited and that the price for Hyperdimension Neptunia will fall in price.
It's really only the Disagea series that seems to be mass produce and on almost everything.
I so angry I didn't buy elite when I saw it randomly on the shelf and I'm glad I got hyperdimension
