Generally speaking that is true. And I never said this one will be rare, but for $8.50 there is nothing to lose. If it becomes rare it is a bonus.

A good, odd example of a game that has no reason becoming valuable, and was a "reprint" of an older game is MvC2 on the PS3. It was a GS exclusive and all it had in the case was a voucher code for PSN. Open it goes for $30-50, sealed it goes for around $100. I believe retail on it was $20.

They say that about every game

They wouldn't sell me the first Gears of War because I didn't preorder on release day. We only have enough to cover preorders.

I walked over to Best Buy and picked it up. I grabbed the the 3rd copy back in the 4 rows of them.

Well I mean I was an employee for 3 years, and was at the time of that release, and that was the only time they said that to stores about a non collectors edition, so, going to have to say thats not "about every game." it was also true, because every single store got 0-3 extras until the reprint came months later.

You mean the case itself goes for $30-50, since you can assume the code has been used (or probably expired by this point)? That's amazing.

I actually have that too, but I wouldn't sell it.

 
cool. just grabbed one at the $16 price point and the code worked for me. i never once in my life played the secret of mana so this will be my first time.

I have it as well, wish I kept it sealed, but of all the rare games that exist that I am aware of that one truly baffles me.

Just because a game is easy to find NOW does not mean it will not be rare later. I personally feel this game will become a rare title, maybe not worth more then $30-50, but for $8.50, it is worth a shot. Plus, on the upside, it's actually a good game, imagine that!!

Not gonna lie... I bit the bullet for the same reason. GS is OOS online and no stores near me have it. I had mixed feelings about this remake from the bit I played but figured $15 after coupon is decent enough.

Nowadays for today's games, I don't buy for rarity. I buy to play the game. This is be because today practically every game is patched so nothing is actually really, totally on disc. Complete editions come close but even those still often need a patch or two to fix bugs.

Rare games - i.e. games that may still be worth something in the future - mostly ended after the last generation.

Modern commercial games can't be rare when they're all available to "buy" online for a fraction of the cost.

Games like Cannon Spike, Project Justice, or Haunting Ground - games you can't readily play/access otherwise - those are likely to hold value.

I bought it more or less because I wanted to give it another try and generally do not like digital so figured it's now or maybe never.

Heh idk who gets email porn. It's more about the trade off presented: Connivance for logging in by clicking a button (Google) for complete access to everything in my email. I don't understand why the company needs that info.

Online ad industry run by a bunch of digital gangsters.
