Dragonball GT Final Bout was another example involving a genuinely rare game and an anime/manga, and that was sometimes going to the $1300 range before the reprint and loss of interest in an otherwise mediocre fighting game. It is still about $80, a bit high but still.
I think PS One Classics for PSP and PS3 on PSN is what KO'd the original Suikoden back down to normal price. All the Final Fantasy re-releases on there have done the same to that franchise.
