Does anyone know how rare Playstation 1 version of this game is, and how much it is worth?

Also, the guide gives a value of $30 (£15) for the Dreamcast version. Is that correct? I thought it was rather more than this!

Also, if we have any PAL PS1 experts in the house ... what is the biz with Zero Divide 2 .. I spotted a copy of this the other day, looks interesting. But I can't find any on ebay at all - ccurrent or ended - so I haven't a clue what fair price to pay for it would be. At £8, should I get it, is it any good? Is it worth anything if I find it is rubbish!? :D

The Dreamcast one can be had that cheap if you're patient & dilligent - I got one sealed for $25 just over a year ago, and I've seen a few sub-£20 copies since then.

the guide gives a value of 30€, not $30 ;) but yeah, you can get it for that price, just like anagrama said

Err... aren't all the Guide prices meant to be in US$?

Personally, after having watched and waited to purchase Taxi 2 for a long time, I would say that $50.00 is a much fairer price for it. You can probably get it as low as $40.00, but I've been waiting for almost a year to find one now, and I finally caved and paid $50.00 for it.

... and what do you think of it? I've heard it's not so hot. I imagine the PSX version is even worse. I have the DC game, but my DC doesn't want to play it. Does it know something I don't?

I haven't actually received it yet. I am sorta working on a complete PAL set (although I think this is becoming a complete non-released-in-the-US games PAL set, as after over 120 games I find myself not caring about the games I already have) and it should be coming with that. I have heard it sucks though.

I'll post opinions when I get it if I can get it to work.

I have no idea about the value fo the game but as far as quality goes... the game is terribily bad (even worse than the film).

i guess that might be because you're only able to look at ebay.co.uk, if you also watch german and french ebay or are active on some boards outside of the UK it should be absolutely possible to find it for that price

@anagrama

well, there was no instruction on this, but how on earth am i supposed to do $ ?? i'd have to keep a list of the € value and adjust the $ value every week because of the fluctuating exchange rate @_@

Well, I shall shortly be in a position to give a firm judgement on the comparative merits of the PS1 and the DC versions of the game, as I have just bought them both :D

PS1 - 12 Euros, DC - 24 Euros

Not bargain bin prices, but pretty reasonable from what I am hearing. Also picked up Pocohontas for the Megadrive for 7 Euros and Tintin au Tibet for 5 Euros.

Hydr0x - I don't know about Euros, but if I had to give a dollar value I would just take the £ value and double it. I wouldn't worry too much about the fluctuations ... these are all ballpark figures anyway - and the value of the games is likely to fluctuate more over a few years than the difference in currencies, barring cataclysmic economic upheaval.
