Hi,
I wanted to know if this was a good descision
I ordered today Vib Ribbon (PAL) for £3 (roudn about $6 usd - goes on ebay for £20 - $40)
I could have ordered it apposed to metal slug x or parasite eve 2 or railroad tycoon 2. The online rarity guide isnt much help so which is the rarest? (These are all PAL)
Funilly enough i told the guy to put down the order for metal slug x and right at the last moment asked for vib ribbon and the shock! it was tehre.
Also was vib ribbon re-released as a platinum hits version?
So did i make the right choice?
PSX gurus enlighten me! :)

You made a great choice, as Vib Ribbon is Rare (IMO) and also a great game (IMO)
And for £3 you cant go wrong!
To my knowledge Vib Ribbon was never released as Platinum
And Railroad Tycoon 2, is that rare?!?!?! @_@

Hm, Vib Ribbon isn't that rare imo, there's always lots on ebay, and at least here it usually goes for up to €20.
Also, the poster is the manual, so this might reduce the value quite a bit :)

Vib-Ribbon isn't that rare, but it is in great demand because it is a very good game (if you get the hang of it)...
But seriously, you spend £3 on a game, and then come here to ask if it was a good deal O_O It's only £3 you know... Almost any game is worth that amount...
Cheers,

Vib Ribbon is excellent and you're going to have a great time especially at that price.

:( ...that sucked so hard ... and made me so much money importing it and modding PlayStation's in high school. LOL

Rare or not, it's simply a great game and extremely unique. We need more modern games with a vector graphics look!

ok, vib ribbon is not rare but many people recognice that it's a great game with a fresh idea and want to have it.
if it's released "Platinum" it would be stated in the DP online guide.
The manual and other items (like the included poster in that case) are EVERY time an essential part of the whole package - if something is missing the value goes down.
so, for 3 Quid you got a great deal - nothing more, nothing less.
BTW, Anagrama - that SMS cover you have in your items list must be the damn coolest item to obtain :D :D :D
