I recently bought Xenosaga I-III, and Ep. III is defective. The seller offered a $9 refund. I paid around $40 for the set; looked like a good deal since Ep. III alone can go for $30+. Ep. III isn't playable on my console. The copy I have right now is useless, so it seems like a fair deal. I'll probably send it back & put that money towards a sealed copy. At least I'll know it isn't damaged or anything.
Before I send it back, does anyone think I can get more than $9 for it? The case & manual are in great shape. There are some very minor light scratches on the bottom of Disc 1. The scratches are on the outer edge of the disc. I've seen similar scratches on other used games I own, and they work perfectly. I just don't understand why this particular game doesn't work properly.
The game locks up at the opening, right after the scene where those three guys are inspecting the coffin. The disc looks like it's in good shape, but it always locks up right after that scene. I'm not sure, but I think there's supposed to be some voice acting and/or music during that scene. When the scene starts, some music plays, but it gets cut off abruptly, a few seconds after the scene starts. It's nothing but the normal sound effects for the rest of the scene. I haven't tried Disc 2, since it'll probably just go to an "Insert Disc 1" screen.
I have a fairly new silver slim PS2, and it's played numerous games perfectly. I also have a FFXII disc that's really messed up with scratches on both top & bottom, but it works perfectly. I even ran some tests on Xenosaga III with Nero DiscSpeed, and it seems like the disc is fine. However, I do consider my copy of Xenosaga III defective. For all I know, it could run perfectly on a fat PS2 or whatever. If I do decide to sell it, I don't expect to get full value for it.
From what I've seen, a sealed version of Xenosaga III can go for $25-$40. What would be a good price for a sealed version?
