You've thrown away 60 CD games?! Were these your own games, or games you'd purchased used, or what?Originally Posted by jonjandran
Which rare NES/SNES carts are you referring to with initial print runs of 100,000+?

I buy a bunch of lots on E-Bay and get games that won't work and I don't want to pay to get them re-surfaced. Oh and the kids sometimes scratch them.
And I guess when I said rare it all depends on your view of rare. I really just meant ones that go for more on E-Bay.
Ah, children, the bane of all collectors. Heh. Thanks for clarifying.I buy a bunch of lots on E-Bay and get games that won't work and I don't want to pay to get them re-surfaced. Oh and the kids sometimes scratch them.
Gotcha. I was just curious what you might know about NES/SNES print-run numbers, since I'm only familiar with a precious few of those figures.And I guess when I said rare it all depends on your view of rare. I really just meant ones that go for more on E-Bay.

jonjandran, man don't throw away your disks. Get them resurfaced. OR if you have bad ones I'll give you 2 buck apiece for them.
Also has anyone seen a copy of City Crisis lately?
What a mess of a topic...I see lots of people going on about things and lots of people sort of missing the point of each other's posts. Careful reading helps avoid this sort of thing.
I think it would help to..step back and think about what we mean by "rare." Yep, certainly not rare by "Golden" age standards or even as late as Nintendo 64 standards, and I think even the amount PS1 titles have lost value is nothing compared to what might happen with current generation stuff.
I honestly believe current generation titles will lose value unlike anything we've yet seen. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for an example of a not too rare (?) PS1 title that's climbing back into the $50 range, but I think that should end with PS2 titles. People are odd and sometimes spend lots of money on stuff that's really not that rare, but think about this:
It's all about the laws of supply and demand a few years on. Supply stays up; demand will drop enough within a few years that finding sealed copies of PS2 games on the cheap should probably (hopefully) prove easier than falling of a log.
good point....
certain ps2 games will start becoming "rare/hard to find" when ps3 comes out, and eventualy production of ps2 games comes to an end.
I would agree that it is early to be determining absolute rare games...but for sure some trends can be seen.
Has anybody seen Disney Golf for PS2 in a store recently??
I meant to pick it up, now it's gone...

wow, never even knew a game like that existed....

No, no, it's fine for him to tell me to buzz off. No kid-gloves treatment required or expected. Just treat me as you would any other member of the forums, albeit a damn good-looking one.You have no idea who zmeston is, do you?

ihate writers, always g2 make their posts a poetic piece
I would like to say that there won't be stuff going for $5000 dollars. And most certainly nothing like Video Life, but there will more then likely be a few games that will fetch some higer prices later.
Most certainly Rez. That game is hard enough to find as it is. But a few years from now.
Another I think that will be worth a penny or two is Gitaroo Man. It was a lower print run, and it was good. Generally rare games that suck don't fetch nearly the price rare good games do.
I am in fact the guy that made the Raisins prototype worth thousands less by dumping it. "D'oh!!"
Deffinitly REZ is rare
I saw Rez sittin in FYE the other day, new. It's also readily available in Gamestop, as is Fatal Frame, Suikoden III, ect.
Yeah, with their grammer and flasiness.ihate writers, always g2 make their posts a poetic piece
To pour more gas on the fire...I'd hardly say a game going for $$$ on eBay qualifies it as rare. My favorite example, Radiant Silvergun. Consistently goes for $150+ but there's always a copy in reach. Not to say you can walk down to Funco and pick it up, but there's almost always 1 or 2 on eBay. I don't really see that as rare at all.
It's really too early to determine what PS2 games are truely "rare" as the conversation here shows. Games seem to pop up more in one area than another, but I don't think there's a single PS2 game that you couldn't find with a little looking. Even the late pressed and low run Dreamcast games Bangia-O and Record of Lodoss War are fairly easy to come by (saw a ROLW at EB for $14 last week.)
And...
just made my day. Thanks!
It probably *is* too early to talk about PS2 this way but it *is* fun, so I'll jump in.
I don't think I've seen a copy of Rez around here since it was released. Fatal Frame is still around though, mostly used (I played the demo of that way back - seemed pretty cool actually).
I don't ever see Gradius III/IV. I can't even remember seeing this for sale in the first place to be honest.
A game that puzzles me is Fantavision. Lousy game, launch day title (so the installed base is low), so you'd figure it would've had a short run, and yet it's still for sale *everywhere* (at $10). Can't give the thing away (I still haven't got one).
Time will be when the broadest river dries
And the great cities wane and last descend
Into the dust, for all things have an end
Saw one in a Pawn Shop yesterday for $15.00 . Should I have bought it ?
