The Unholy War is definately not a 1, I'd estimate 6-7. Also, not worth a buck either.
I believe Point Blank 3 had a version that came with the gun.
Yes, I have the Point Blank 3 combo, I think each point blank came with a gun. But there is a sticker on it that says "not for sale in California"
One thing I have not seen listed is the Resident Evil Dead Aim Combo. We had one when I worked at EB. I've never seen one since.
Check the rarity of a PS1 justifier too, I rarely see one on ebay or in the wild.
Dracula X for Snes has jumped up in price and rarity too.

And R0 means that it hasn't been properly researched and given a set rarity yet, not that it's unknown.

I checked the master list and i've got all 3 Point Blanks showing that they came w/ GunCons.
The Dead Aim Combo was not a legitimate bundle. It was just a 3rd party gun packaged with RE:Dead Aim. Not to mention that it wasn't bundled by Capcom, but by who made that crappy orange 9mm gun it came with. Fry's Electronics had them for a long time.
Justifiers are out there, just not all that common. I found an eBay seller about a month ago selling them Boxed new w/ Die Hard for 9.99+ Shipping. You've just got to look around a bit for em I guess.

This game is damn common and not worth anything. Theres no reason for it to shoot up to an R6/7. That makes it one of the rarest PlayStation games if that was the case and I can assure you that its not that rare by a long shot.

I was just thinking that I never really see them, and didn't mean to insinuate them being worth a lot - I know they're not. But I think it's worth more than one dollar.

fuzzball - it could just be really low demand for a relatively common game
I was gonna post about some Xbox values. First, nice to see some of the Xbox info getting finished. But I have to question the $40 price for Time Splitters: Future Perfect. The rarity 1 seems definitely correct, but the price seems way to high. I know that usually the DP guide slightly undervalues the games (as stated in the rarity FAQ), and this seems WAY overvalued.

It's still available from several on-line places for $9.99. It could just be a regional thing, but Fry's, Circuit City and Toys R Us in Southern California all had it for several years and now that they are scaling back their Xbox sections in favor of the 360, they have pretty much sold out. I think trying to set rarity when a system is in its "transition period" from actively being available at mass retailers to being available at specialty on-line retailers and Ebay is a mistake. Give it a year or two so you know what stuff is still available and being liquidated by big distributors and what is truly rare.

Since I'm still seeking it out I should probably hold my tongue, but the DAYTONA USA: CHAMPIONSHIP CIRCUIT NETLINK EDITION needs a big revision in that database. There is no question it is the rarest of the US Saturn games (since it was only available directly through Sega). I've been looking daily for that game for over a year now, and I've only ever seen one copy, and even then it was disc and manual only. It went for a lot more than the $20 it's listed at in the ORG too. Try $237. Complete I could see it going for $300 easy. So if it were me, I'd up the price and definitely bump it from a 6 to an 8 in the rarity scale.

I think Obelix (Atari 2600) PAL version should get a rating. On the AtariAge forums it's well known that the PAL Obelix is rare. Also the AtariAge rarity guide (http://www.atariage.com/software_search.html?SystemID=2600) lists it as an R7. There is another website with a rarity database compiled by some people from the AtariAge forum specifically for PAL 2600 games. They list Obelix (http://www.retroreview.com/paldatabase/Search.php?name=obelix&SortBy=name) as an R6

The previous controller of the XBox list didn't really get all that much done to it for a long long time. It's now in the hands of S1lence and he's working his way thru it all. When we were talking earlier today he mentioned that he had just sent in an update with something like 100-150 new games added to it. Give him a little time to get it up to snuff.

Hey there,
I work for a used books/electronics store that uses your pricing guide frequently (we carry all manner of 'retro' games and systems). It has been my experience that the prices listed for your old Game Boy and Color Game Boy games are a tad on the low side. We frequently sell these the Red, Blue, Yellow, etc versions for twice to three times as much as your listed price, and recieve a comment of "that's a good price for that" fairly often. For Pokemon, we use the use prices at amazon.com as a guide, tending to mark our items around the lowest prices posted there. Just a though.
Thanks for having such an awesome resource for us to use!

I think the rarity of Lunar Silver Star Story "Fan Edition" for the PSX is a bit off. The guide has it as an R5 but based on the numbers, that seems kind of odd.
While talking about the extras for Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, Victor Ireland says: "We made enough raw materials to sell more than the original 250,000 we sold of SSSC"
http://psx.ign.com/articles/087/087665p1.html
From what I gather, both here and elsewhere, Lunar: SSSC sold a total of about 250,000 copies (WD best selling game ever). Knowing Working Designs that means that's probably about equal to the actual production numbers.
Here it says (Don't know how valid it is) that the game sold 222,763. Just do a find for Lunar.
http://www.armchairarcade.com/aamain/forum_viewtopic.php?2.16655
Now, about the Fan Edition, from Victor Ireland's mouth...er...keyboard, he says: "Less than 1 out of every 30 LUNAR:Silver Star Story Playstation games are this type"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130198844779
This is Victor Ireland selling the item (I bought it, in fact). And if you do the math and divide 250,000 by 30 you get 8,333. He says less than 1 so I'm guessing that means about 8,000 copies of the Fan Edition were printed. Which, if you think about it, makes sense as even the DP guide says that they were only available through limited channels.
Panzer Dragoon Saga and Dragonball GT: Final Bout (original Bandai version) both are R6 and I'm pretty certain both had print runs amounting to about 10,000 each. So if 10,000 copies floating around equals R6 how does 8,000 copies floating around equal R5?
For something even stranger, RayStorm is listed as an R7. But the numbers here say it sold 31,357. That's more than the R6s I mentioned alone not even considering that these are probably not the final numbers in existence.
http://www.armchairarcade.com/aamain/forum_viewtopic.php?2.16655
What are the general numbers between listings? 500,000+ = R1? 400,000-500,000 = R2?
I also find it strange that Lost & Found Volume 1 for the Saturn is an R9 when in the description itself it says there are only 25 copies. How is something with only 25 copies an R9? This is especially strange when there are R10s on the list with more than double or triple that.

In general, the Game Boy (Original, at least) prices in DP's online guide really ought not to be taken as authoritative.

Other than Gamestop and Gamecrazy and the likes who never sell their overpriced Game Boy games, the games in the database are fairly priced to me, if they turn up outside of major retailers the prices are considerably lower and more reflect the guide better.

I agree with this. The rarity scores seem spot on as far as I can tell, but the prices are almost always low. Compared to what you would pay on ebay or Amazon the prices don't seem that accurate. I have started using the guide just for the rarity score and other sites for the prices.

I don't know what you mean "ebay is on the high side". How can it be "high" when it is based upon the price people bid. Some who wins an item said I think it is worth this much. I would say that is exactly right.
What do you think the "right" price is if it isn't what someone has voluntarily agreed to pay?

I don't know what is meant, either, as eBay trends above or below prices elsewhere depending on the title. I think it's a bit much to assume "we all know" something that seems to be assumed rather than demonstrable. On the other hand, borrowing your assumption, eBay *ought* to have higher prices, given that one typically can inspect the actual merchandise to a degree, whereas with Amazon, Half.com, GameTZ, etc. it requires faith that a listing is accurate in terms of quality assessment ... alarmingly, any such faith is often misplaced.

There are some incorrect information about brazilian sms games on rarity guide
Just an example, sonic blast and street fighter, 25 dollars for each in complete condition, looks "odd"
I sold since may around 5 or 6 complete copies of each on ebay and all auctions finished under 100/120 dollars. The boxed only sold very well too, much higher than 25 dollars
Looks very incorrect for me, I never sold one for 25 dollars on ebay
Another example is fire'n ice, looks cheap and common on rarity guide but my auctions and my experience says different, this cart is very hard to find in Brazil and always (when I have it) finish under 100 dollars or more on my auctions. Guide says that mickey ultimate challenge is the most hard to find, it's wrong, fire'n ice and ultimate challenge are the most hard to find here and there is another title, power strike 2, that is much more rarer and almost impossible to find in complete condition here and very hard in boxed/loose conditions
Mickey ultimate challenge is so cheap on guide too, easily ends more than 100 dollars on my auctions when, rarely, I have it
I can list more but this is the most important

I feel there's something off with the Genesis games, specifically with the Blockbuster World Video Game Championships II. The Genesis is my favourite system so this has kind of been bugging me for awhile. I'm really hoping it'll be changed so the information will be more accurate. :)
The title is missing the "s" at the end of "Championship", the label shows it's "Championships".
Also the rarity is listed at 9, but there's less than ten copies confirmed to exist so it should be a 10. The Nintendo World Championships 1990 is more common but it's listed at 10, so the Blockbuster cart should be too. At least for now, until more copies are discovered.
The value is also way off, it's listed at $100 but it should be set at the guide's maximum as copies sell for over $2000. That's more than double the guides maximum.
I'll post a couple of references;

No it will not because it will not age well as a system, and the game cube and PS2 are way better. I have no facts to support this other than I never owned the system, and I have an unnatural love for Nintendo and JRPG's.
Seriously though, the XBOX has a very very large library and probably will take a long time to catalog. I believe s1lence is currently working on it- maybe by himself. But be patient, as it's a work in progress.

There are some incorrect information about brazilian sms games on rarity guide
Just an example, sonic blast and street fighter, 25 dollars for each in complete condition, looks "odd"
I sold since may around 5 or 6 complete copies of each on ebay and all auctions finished under 100/120 dollars. The boxed only sold very well too, much higher than 25 dollars
Looks very incorrect for me, I never sold one for 25 dollars on ebay
Another example is fire'n ice, looks cheap and common on rarity guide but my auctions and my experience says different, this cart is very hard to find in Brazil and always (when I have it) finish under 100 dollars or more on my auctions. Guide says that mickey ultimate challenge is the most hard to find, it's wrong, fire'n ice and ultimate challenge are the most hard to find here and there is another title, power strike 2, that is much more rarer and almost impossible to find in complete condition here and very hard in boxed/loose conditions
Mickey ultimate challenge is so cheap on guide too, easily ends more than 100 dollars on my auctions when, rarely, I have it
I can list more but this is the most important
The Non US SMS section hasn't been updated in eons, it needs work and most games are underpriced and need to be changed. They need to go up but not to Ebay highs. I agree that some are quite expensive though.

Is is possible that the rarity and price of E.V.O. (SNES) are a bit off at R4 / 35$ ? The loose copies available on eBay are around 100$, and there are less copies available than, for example, Dracula X, which is an R5 / 50$ ... Dracula X seems regularly a good 20$ less than E.V.O. on eBay. And I must say that in 5 years of searching this game, I only saw it twice (outside of eBay) : a loose copy at 50$ and the complete copy I got in 2004. I really have the feeling it's at least as rare as Dracula X.

I completely agree with this EVO price and rarity difference. The game consistently sells for $55-60 on ebay. At VGPC we have records of more than 15 EVO sales on ebay this year. Not a single one sold for less than $40 and the average was $56.

Mr Do!'s Castle hasn't been that expensive in a while and yes it needs to be updated.

Time to point out the Splatterhouses on Genesis. The DB is low since these have gone up in price. Part 2 should be listed at roughly $30-35 and part 3 should be $20-25.
I would also like to mention that the Genesis port of Syndicate seems a whole lot rarer than a R4, I'd list it at a 5-6.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for Genesis value seems a little off to me. I see that cart only of that game go for $20, and complete copies go for $30, yet the game is only valued at $8? It should be more around the $15-20 price range.

Try to sell the cart for that price elsewhere than ebay and see how much you get.

Ebay is such a double edged sword. On one hand, yes, you have a decent gauge of what something is worth so you aren't walking in completely blind. But on the other hand, that value is based on the demand that exists in most of the civilized world. The demand on Ebay is not going to carry over to anywhere else for most things. Ebay generally gives you a high ball price which while certainly useful in its own right, is not always realistic.

This is a very good point. Stuff like Sega-CD and 32x consoles that once went for really cheaply now go for outrageous prices sometimes due to the eBay demand.

I was browsing throughthe PS1 section and some of the rarities seem off...meaning they are over 10! lots of 18s and some 20s, I don't think this is intentional?

DDR Disney mix looks really off with a rarity of 3 and a price of $15 complete. That game used to go for $70 complete, and although the value may have dropped a little, I'm pretty sure the plug n play version didn't decrease value.
DDR Mario Mix doesn't even have a value, and that's another expensive iteration of the series.

I agree with both of you. Even though im looking to sell most my games, EVO is one that I intend to buy. Ive been tracking it for the last 3 months on ebay and the cartridges that surface are usually the same ones except this time being flipped by a reseller. I have seen only 1 complete copy during this time. By complete I mean it has to have the maps and filler inserts included.
Can someone give me a price estimation for Final Fantasy X in PAL version ? still sealed, can't find it anywhere on the net
Thanks

Outback Joey is listed as a Prototype/One-of-a-kind game, when it was actually a retail release.
