What's the Most You've Ever Paid for a Single Game?

[otaku]

I can't remember what my poor parents were shelling out for N64 carts but it went up towards 100 dollars at times (70-90 etc) so far I personally have never passed 60 or so dollars but have considered games selling for 100-200 dollars beyond that is sort of insane.

try 50usd for a new copy of star fox assult on valentines of 05 (date of release)
or 35usd for the real final fantasy for the ds (both north american)

[RPG_Fanatic]

$130 for a used mint copy of the PSone game Valkyrie Profile

[TheDomesticInstitution]

50 dollars for Knights of the Old Republic 2 when it came out... and maybe 60 for a bond or perfect dark game on n64... And I honestly can count on two hands the amount of times I have ever bought a game as a new release. XBOX right now is a cheap gamers dream... Go to Circuit City and try and find a game over 20 dollars (at a lot of locations). They're trying to get rid of their stock I think... And pawn shops and blockbusters are where I frequent the most for cheap games.

Bubble Bobble Part 2 for NES $100

[mailman187666]

paid a very high price of $160 for Panzer Dragoon Saga. I wanted it really bad and at the time it was going for close to $200.

[Barbarianoutkast85]

600 bucks Blockbuster world championship 2

[Slate]

$90 for guitar hero 2. But then again I got a free guitar bag and wasn't charged for shipping or tax.

I tend to be cheap with how much I pay for a game, so the most I ever spent would have to be $50. (For newer games, such as PS2, Xbox, Wii, etc.)

[-_-Nintendo-_-]

I paid $150 AUS for Tombi 2 for the PS1.

Someone just won Stadium Events for $1775.00 on EBay!!! I don`t envy paying that bill!

[G-Boobie]

I have to admit, I'm one of those guys who missed out the first time and actually paid the $100 US dollar price to import D&D Collection on Saturn.

Was it worth it? Most days I think so.

Karma got me back though, since I picked up an import copy of DC Ikaruga bundled with Batsugun and a saturn Puyo Puyo game for $24 US at a local flea market.

That was Braveheart that won that one... I myself was prepared to go as high as $1707 for it, but I decided to drop the idea, as there was no way I saw myself paying that for a game.

I dunno if I posted these yet, but here goes:

1. Valkyrie Profile Limited Box, complete, PS1 (+ SaGa Frontier Millennium Edition, complete, PS1, and one or two minor things) = $278.

2. Super Turrican NTSC protos (one on NES-TKEPROM-02 board, one just loose EPROMs), NES = $195 (or was it $175?) (to my knowledge, the only two known).

3. Caltron 6-in-1 black back label, cart + Caltron sleeve, NES = $190 (came as part of a deal, alongside #8).

4. Caltron 6-in-1 blue back label, loose, NES = $175 (to my knowledge, the only one known).

5. Radiant Silvergun, complete & mint, Saturn = $150.

6. Donkey Kong 3, non-hangtab box only, NES = $146 (to my knowledge, the only one known).

7. NTF2 test cart, NES + official service technician's training manual = $140.

8. Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak, loose, NES = $126 (came as part of a deal, alongside #3).

[otaku]

well I just recently spent 80 on guitar hero 2. 110 on radiant silvergun and a whopping 170 on panzer dragoon saga. Next up is 130 on d&d collection for saturn

damn saturn's fault, cheap system, damn expensive games! (though good ones!)

[grolt]

My highest would have been DAYTONA NETLINK, as I had bid up to $220 for it on eBay (and this was disc and manual only!), but it ended up going for $237. I thought I'd find a copy of it on eBay later, but as of yet that's been the only one on this year.

I usually get most of my big titles in lots with the system (it's cheaper per-title that way), but the most I paid for a single title was probably SHINING FORCE III for $65. I already own it too, but I'll be able to sell it back for double that with a proper listing.

Of course, back when I was a kid, I probably paid close to $100 for some of those early Nintendo 64 games. Jeez!

If we're not counting arcade machines (and converted roughly to dollars for you guys instead of good ol' pounds):


Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3) - $700 - 500 for the PS3, 100 for the game, and another 100 for the arcade stick. I count it all as the game, because VF5 was the only reason I purchased a PS3. It was either a PS3 or splash $15,000 for the arcade cabinet. If I had known that 2 weeks after I got it VF5 would be announced for 360, I wouldn't have bought a PS3 at all.

Steel Batallion japanese import on launch day (xbox) - $440

Sealed Vampire Chronicles For Matching Service (DC) - $200

If we're counting arcade machines, than the most expensive game I ever bought is a perfect condition Virtua Fighter 2.1 Large Screen Megalo cabinet, for the meagre sum of $2000 plus around $1000 to ship it from Sweden. Worth every single penny. It cost more than VF 1, 2.0 standard cab & 3 combined, but it completed my set of VF arcade machines at the time.

c'mon, more people must have bought stuff like guitar hero 3.. i got that for like AU$170. alot of other new 360 and especially ps3 games are coming out for over a hundred bucks (au), thered be a few people forgetting those too i reckon.
i've bought a few gurrent gen (or near current) collectors edition boxes and stuff for between AU$100 and AU$200. the djmax portable prestige package fits in that bracket i think. otherwise if we're talking retro, i bought some n64 ex-kiosk demos, $250usd for 8 (a steal?). i bouy most of my games in lots, so its hard to tell. being in australia makes it unviable to buy single games from other countries, and being in australia makes it unviable to buy anything locally, everyone has no idea and everything is cranked to a premium price. chrono trigger (us) is amazingly at a store near me, but its $150, it might be more even.
i have a complete au shenmue which i think was about a hundred bucks a while back.

[SeverThe7th]

Id say 100$ aus (each) for Twilight princess and Hellgate: London [which i still havent played due to not having a good enough vid card.

[jupitersj]

$202.50 for Panzer Dragoon Saga

The discs are near mint (one has a tiny barely visible few milimeter in length scratch near the edge of the disc).

I was willing to pay abit more than the other auctions as it had better desc/pics and the sleeves were white instead of the black you see more often.

The back insert is a tiny bit wrinkled but putting it into a hardcover book with a crt on top is fixing that

Normally I scour for cheap prices and great deals( I am a CAGer afterall) but I really wanted this game. It's such a pita because I require my games to be in excellent condition except for very very few purchases.
