    rofl..


    99% of the time, japanese versions of games are actually less rare than the american counterpart. also, platinium stuff or greatest hits will NEVER be rare. since it takes a million copies printed/sold to achieve that status.

    There's an online rarity guide to this site, so you shouldn't really ask.

    When refering to more then one the word you're looking for is "are" not "is".

    Oh noez!!! Its the grammar police!!!

    You can look up the rarities and suggested values of all of the American games here:

    Japanese games are generally not as collectible, but some people (like myself) buy them because we think they are neat.

    This makes me laugh as much as when someone gets me round their house 'cos they've pulled a box of toys out the attic.

    Is a loose RotJ Darth Vader that's been chewed by the dog worth anything? No, never. However, one of these days that dog chewed Vader/Luke will have an immaculate DT Saber, or I'll find a vinyl cape Jawa. One day.... I can but hope.

    Can't blame people for asking. I mean, who'd have though some PAL Mega Cd or 32X games would go for that much cash?

    As for grammar police, I have to stop myself from doing it on forums. But if I see a sign with an incorrect use of apostrophes and I have a pen......

    Default Grammar

    I am a fiction writer and know all about grammatical errors. However, when posting in a forum such as this, I make a few myself. I don't proofread my posts before hitting Submit. Here is my opinion.

    This is the internet, not a college thesis. I don't make any money posting here and have nobody to impress. Unless the person making those mistakes is your child, brother or sister, then the best thing to do is ignore it. I don't expect everyone on here to have flawless grammar or spelling. It never ceases to amaze me that people point those things out on a forum which has people from all walks of life and locales posting. What do you expect? x_x It's almost as silly as not taking a poster seriously just because they don't have 5,000 posts. There is something to be said for treating every poster with some amount of respect, unless you prefer to have only the elite posting here. Save the barbs and bashing for shitty games and systems, not an unnecessary question or grammatical error.

    I'll be back in an hour to check on all my errors that the alert readers point out. Remember, I didn't proofread before submitting.

    Default I stand by what I said

    While I do stand by what I said, I also see your point. So nobody is really right or wrong. From my standpoint, the person who linked the rarity guide did all that was necessary to address this post
