    Default Modern rarities?

    Now, im more of a retro-guy, so im not really aware of the absolute gaming treasures we have in the newer consoles, so I thought I'd ask you, dear people of DigitalPres, what are the rarest games in the PS2, Xbox, PS3, 360,GC and Wii-library?

    Thank you in advance.

    The only game I can think of is Bladestorm The 100 Year War. You can't find it for sale at most places and those that you do it's still $40. You can find it cheap on Ebay if you wait it out though.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Even 'rare' games this gen are cheap and easy to acquire. Damnation had a low print run, but because it SUCKS like a Dyson vacuum on amphetamines you can pick it up for twenty bucks pretty much anywhere. Culdcept Saga for 360 is hard to find, but it's never hit a price higher that it's original retail price. And so it goes.

    If you want to go back to PS2, then the MGS 3 limited edition is pricey... That's pretty much all I've got. Thanks to GQD, even stuff like Nocturne, DDS, and Disgaea are all readily available.

    Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark Zero & Banjo-Kazooie are all Rare.

    Seriously though, check here for the GCN rarities discussion. With a little looking you can find a thread for each system.

    Not really rare but expensive.

    What was that "rare" game on the DS? The one with Monopoly are a few other games? The name escapes me at the moment, but I don't think I've ever even seen it on eBay.

    There's only one copy each of Pokemon Red and Blue in existence. Seriously.

    This question comes up quite often, and really the consensus is that you can never truly know until the generation passes and people try to find all the games. I mean, 15 years ago, would people have known that Stadium Events would be some crazy rare NES game?
    <Evan_G> i keep my games in an inaccessable crate where i can't play them

    I pretty sure that some of us (collectors) did know, at that point.
