And I guess it is that hard to find. In ebay there is only one and its a jap. one. And on half.com only a ps2 one came out. Was this game that overlooked in the dreamcast days?(I don't remember). It's a great game, but I might part with it due to some new developments in life. I just didn't really know it was that rare!

It's worth about £30 (~$55).
Hard to find, biot not mega-rare - there's 12 completed auctions for it on eBay UK and 3 currently for sale.

I saw someone trying to sell a ps2 copy for 99$ on half.com lol, they can't be serious about that price.

People set all kinds of crazy prices on the non-auction sites for hard-to-find and out-of-print stuffs. All it takes is one desperate gift-buyer or careless rich dude and KA-CHING! $$$ Not everybody takes the time to really understand the value of the goods they want to purchase.

I guess so....BTW I love your avatar, countless hours on that game, hooooweee!

I mean you really have to be that desparate, and the seller has to be some a-hole for jacking it up that high.

Everybody loves Moai Heads!

Anyway, I know that you take issue with the prices some people charge, but look at it this way. Think of your favorite game. Now think of how much money you'd want to get for it if you didn't think that you could easily get another copy of it. Now imagine that you posted it for sale for that (probably pretty high) price. Are you an a-hole? If you want to sell a game and some random guy you've never met offers you twice the fair market price, are you going to turn it down? (I don't know. Maybe you would.)

So now you've sold (or lost) the game--what about the guy who has the same game, doesn't give a rat's ass about the game, but doesn't put it up for sale? Is he an a-hole, too? Does it matter if he knows that you're simply dying to play Hello Kitty Deathmatch again?

Of course, there are going to be guys who don't love the game and simply are speculating in video games. Maybe they are a-holes, at least from the perspective of people who consider video games to be more than just commodities.

Hmmm you shut me up good! lol I totally saw the light. That is true. I really liked the game, but its shine wore off abit on my behalf. I havent touched it in maybe more than 1 year and a half ago.

Lots of people on half.com and eBay have sold copies for more than that. That actually seems like a pretty average price for a US PS2 Rez at the moment.

Is that for the PAL version? Maybe i should pick up a few since i saw some copies in the bargain bin of a local shop...
