We're here because we like the good deals, but what's the time when desire for a game has spread your wallet (or purse) wider than you'd anticipated?

The most I've ever spent for one was way back in... 1988, when Zelda II came out. I remember biking up to the local Waxie Maxies, whipping out my hard earned lawn-mowing money (mainly dollar bills and quarters) and slapping out about $52 big ones for Zelda II. I remember biking up there for weeks before I had enough money to get it, face pressed against the glass, staring at the gold box with a grin.

$60 + tax

I paid full price for a Sega Nomad back in the day, which as about $250. It was my own money but my parents yelled at me anyway, trying to instill cheapassness in me. Of course in 2 months I had dropped it and broke the screen. I learned my lesson the hard way. =/

I did pay $50 for BF1942 and Chrono Cross preorders in the past few years. That is definitely the last time I'm ever going to spend $50 on a game.

Three words: Final Fantasy XI.

i find it shocking that with all the games people own here that alot of you really never pay full price for games. id say 80-90% of my games i payed retail for. im impulsive, i have a job, and im retarded. these do not combine well. for instance i already have about 20 games waiting for me but i felt the need to buy splinter cell: pt and breakdown at full price even though they will drop in price by the time i actually play them. as i said im retarded. hell i even payed 50 dollars for shadows of destiny. like i said im impulsive. im constantly buying new release gameboy games to occupy me at work. like i said i have a job. i come here not by necessity but i love finding a good deal. for instance i got rez today at my local TRU for 25 bucks. so i think it all evens out in the end. plus i love trading here. its an addiction of mine. im usually alot less long-winded. i apologize.

X! is a number. that would be my most expensive game. except its not just a game so i dont think it qualifies. so i guess ill go with yoshis island for 92 dollars on ebay. i think that whats it was called. the one for n64. i dunno it wasnt even for me. it was for a girlfriend. the lengths ill go to my friends... the lengths ill go to...

You paid $92 for Yoshi's Story? I remember getting it for $30 from Blockbuster pretty soon after it came out.

For any one single game? I have to go way back in the day: one of the SNES Street Fighter II games...I think it was either Turbo or Super...those bitches were $79.99.

im curious to know whats the most the head cheap man paid for a game.

Same here. It was Zelda LttP and Zelda MM. Each on release date. Each at $60. No tax though.

I think it would be 59.99 (twice) for Time Crisis 2 and Vampire Night (both came w/ the Guncon 2) for the PS2 when they had just come out around that Christmas time. I used Best Buy credit that I got for Christmas though and like I normally did I spent all of it in like 1 week (150+). Now thanks to this website I still have some BB credit from the most recent Christmas that normally would have been spent in a week if it wasn't for this website. Thanks again CheapyD.

I paid a local game shop $100 for the Japanese version of Castlevania Syphony of the Night. I know someone who paid $143.50 for the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Collection on Sega Saturn. I know because he bought it from me.

The most would have to been full retail for Chrono Trigger back when it was brand new. (somewhere between 60-80 dollars..)
Those Square RPGs were murder back then.

I came very close to buying Suikoden 2 yesterday for $69.95. Actually I'm still tempted to go pick it up.

Phantasy Star II for either 69 or 79 when it first came out. Closely followed by Final Fantasy II, III, and Street Fighter II which were all in the 60 dollar range, if I remember correctly.

I paid $70 for Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo.

I think the most I've paid is $50+tax for a game. The last game I paid $50 for was probably Zelda: OOT. (I fell out of gaming for several years and only recently picked up an Xbox - haven't paid full MSRP for an Xbox game yet.)

55$ for FFXI (ps2)

$60 for Ninja Gaiden 2. That kicked ass back in the day.

It was 85.00 for Mario Rpg at k-mart. What the hell was I thinking.
