    Default PS2 games that are more valuable than their Gamecube versions?

    This thread made me wonder: when it comes to games with PS2 and Gamecube ports, the Gamecube version is usually the most valuable one. So, what are the exceptions?

    I think the GC version is more on that one too... Damn, I can't think of any myself. Nice stumper!

    Oh, Mega Man Anniversary maybe. Because of the flipped controls on the GC version. B jumps? WTF? You do get use to it though.

    Most multi-platform games are GC > PS2 > Xbox. Mega Man Ann may be the only title that runs counter. Xbox > PS2 > GC

    PS2 Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance had a 'Greatest Hits' release, but I imagine the original release still holds an edge over the Gamecube version because of the PS2 sequel.

    The PS2 version of Mega Man X Collection seems to go for slightly more than the Gamecube version (at least at Gamestop and Amazon).
    If I failed to leave feedback for you on a deal, please contact me.

    I think the PS2 version of Capcom vs. SNK 2 is more than the other versions.

    What I came here to say. I think it's spill-off from the "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" hysteria.

    Well, in that game the Xbox and GC versions are the EO ones. They gimped the controls... at least if your a long time vs fighter player. The second analog lets you spam specials with one tap... never a good thing.

    From Russia With Love seems to go for a few bucks higher than the XBox and Gamecube, which is weird being that they're the same exact games.

    Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

    The Gamecube (and Xbox?) version was ported across with several changes including a erratic framerate and bad handling. PS2 version is superior and that seems to be reflected in the price.
