I found this at a store for $30, do you guys think it is worth it? I heard that this may be the next hard to find expensive game.

$30 seems...well, can you talk them down? Is it mint? That seems a wee bit steep for non-eBay to me, but still it's a sought-after game with the Konami name, and it's 3/5 the price of a new game - plus it'll hold its value. So...it's up to you.

I just bought a brand new copy of the game at TRU for 30. Maybe it wasn't the best deal in the world, but it's better then paying 70-90 dollers on ebay later on.

I think I've seen copies of the game, opened, asking $50 on eBay (er, not the copies asking, rather sellers are asking that much...doh, thought I was saving myself an edit here! LOL )

But anyhow, yeah, I'd do it. Go get that game!

hmmmmm.. It looks like their going for around 20 bucks on Ebay. :hmm:I guess I better go down and pick up a few myself. I think I saw a few of them new at the very same TRU I got my copy of FireFighter F.D 18. At the very least I could use them for spare GC cases.

If this doesn't convince you to get it, I don't know what will...

Good man! :)

Well, I had no idea sealed FD 18s were going for that much. I'd be happy with a mint opened copy, myself (though being able to keep the holographic seal is neat - I've been trying to do that now, though it's probably trickier with PS2 style cases than it was with PSX games where you could simply pop open the bottom of the case).

It's one of the games that has me interested in getting a PS2, oddly enough.

Yeah, I recently sold a sealed copy of the game for $75, and bought it for $30. Bought another one, and kept it for myself. 8-)

Man, looks like I will have to start paying attention a little more than I have in the past. Seeing those auctions on ebay, 30 bones doesnt sound so bad

I might go see if there are any more at any of the other TRU locations.

Hey just wondering how is this game I saw this at my local blockbuster and it looks interesting, plus I heard it's sorta rare

if its in its original game box with manual and good condition disc.
My blockbuster is famous for missing all of those listed above.
Then you got the dreaded blockbuster stickers on the discs @_@

FD18 is not rare. People are nuts. I see this game *all the time*. It reminds me of the situations with Air Force Delta Storm and the Sprint Cars 2003 (PS2) a few years ago - the games somehow had a reputation for being rare which was later shattered and the prices fell back to Earth (AFDS had a reprint, true, but even the original wasn't rare).

How much do you normally see it for? Any chance you can score a complete/good shape copy for me? I want to play the game but don't want to have to import it and deal with the language barrier (Which made Burning Rangers awesomely unfun) :(

thanks for your input.

Not a bad game at all. I've enjoyed what I played of it. Some of the control is a bit spotty, but it's fun! I sold a spare sans manual for $25 on eBay last week myself.

I paid like $13 for mine a month back at a hastings.

I haven't tried it yet as I have a 3 foot high back log of current gen games.

Not a very good game. If you're just getting it for rarity purposes (assuming it really IS rare), then I guess $30 is okay. If you're getting it to play, I wouldn't bother at that price. $10 at most.
