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

[dracula]

Up until now about 70 bucks for various 64 games. in a few days though im going to plop out $200 for Steel Battalion.

www.gamestop.com has it for $190 with free ship and no tax, and fry's has it on outpost.com for $180 plus tax and shipping, if you see it in a frys b&m then it would be $180 plus tax there.

I can't remember exactly how they broke down, but my first two arcade games came to $1300 & something.

I think that SFIICE and Black Tiger(cocktail) were probably $600 CAD each.

Well I lost out on a 10,000,000 Playstation unit at $1,300 a short while back. I would have bid higher, but I was sniped with 6 seconds left. I live.

But for an individual game, 200 For Steel Battalion when it released, the 300 that I dumped on my Xbox and PS2's. My highest game auction was for Lunar SSSC: Fan Edition which went for 85 shipped,

Ive tripped out in regards to what ive spent on some of my games (be it the retail price or whatever) but what it comes down to in the end is as long as i'm happy with the game, then I can really have no complaints.

I would have to say the most I have paid for a game thus far would be $58 Shipped for a MINT copy of Guardian Heroes (Saturn). With out question, the best $58 I've ever spent.

$90 for Final Fantasy 5 SFC August 1996, was my favorite game for the longest time, and still my favorite FF and is in my top 10 favorites of all time.

I paid 70 for DBGT a couple years ago, but I've never spent near that for any of the PSX or DC games in my collection, even though I've picked up most of the rarities and expensive titles at some point. Even expensive PSX games can be had cheap with some patience - Silverload for 10, Fox Hunt for 10, Suikoden II for 20, Valkyrie for 15, DDR Disney for 30, etc.

[DigitalSpace]

$30 for a used and complete copy of The Sims for PS2, a few months after it came out. I was addicted to the game for about a month and a half. I see used copies going for $10 all the time now, and I still don't regret paying that much.

I'll probably break the record when GTA: San Andreas comes out, though.

And I did.

New record: $49.99 for a new copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Here's hoping it'll be worth every penny, like The Sims.

King of Fighters 2001 (Neo Geo) -129.00.

But, one of these days I will break that record.

I don't know when it'll happen, but someday I WILL be ready to score a master copy of Dracula X: Rondo of Blood for PC Engine CD. And that's it. No more three digit price tag games.

The most I have ever paid for one game was 72.00 for Chase the Chuckwagon. Incidentally, I'm going to be listing it on ebay shortly, due to my extreme lack of finacial funds :/

[mb7241]

The most for me? $51 shipped for a complete Final Fantasy II (SNES). Behind that, $50 for a sharply-scratched disc-only original Dragon Ball GT Final Bout (PS1) (resold for $80). Then, Dragon Warrior IV (NES), cartridge only, $40 shipped. As for systems, the most I've ever paid for a system is...well...I dunno... I can recall dropping $40 on a model 1 NES with 22 games (and 3 SNES games...don't ask how those got thrown in there), $46 on a Philips CDi 615, and $30 on a Turbo-Grafx 16 & CD expansion setup (with the carrying case for the whole thing). Probably the worst, though, was when I traded my Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete (PS1) box set for a Japanese PS1 and Golden Sun: The Lost Age (GBA, cart only)...

[greedostick]

lets see...

$165 for a english magical chase shipped from europe with minty manual

$200 for english dynastic hero

2 of the best purchases i ever made.

$600 for darius alpha (sold shortly after because it sucked so bad)

$120 for minty last blade jp 1 homecart

$100 for kof 98 jp homecart

[LazingBlazers]

$202.50 for a loose TG-16 Magical Chase. Insane, yes; but it was the last piece to the puzzle.

[videogameking26]

$200

Steel Battalion (Xbox)

[sirgeoph]

$65+shipping for rainbow islands for the nes factory sealed

[max 330 mega]

$65+shipping for rainbow islands for the nes factory sealed

dude thats a great buy, i would have definitely done the same.

[Jive3D]

$200 (and change) Radiant Silvergun.

Worth it.

[charitycasegreg]

26 bucks for my nes Megaman mint/complete, everyhting it originally came with. I dont buy expensive games usually unless I really want it.

[suppafly]

70 US for a strider for genesis when it came out.....it was worth every dollar

[Fuyukaze]

80$ for Arc the Lad colection when it was released. I still consider it more expensive then it was worth, but as I got the watch with it as well as the JSRF soundtrack, it came out nice.

[jhd7]

$400 for a gray NWC1990 (NES). Even tho it was well worth it, I still had the shakes when making out the money order.
