Resident Evil 2 and 3 GC - Still Rare?

[Theros]

I found a couple of copies of Resident Evil 2 GC for 29.99 and a whole bunch of copies of Resident Evil 3 GC for 34.99 at a local store. I was under the impression that these were fairly rare, and wanted to know if this was a good deal for picking them up. I also found a 2-pack of Resident Evil GC and Resident Evil 0 GC called "The Evil Pack" or something similar that was 29.99, and that seemed like a decent deal as well. Should I pick these up?

BTW, wasn't sure if this should go here or in Deal Discussion, so feel free to move if necessary.

I saw like 4 used copies in the cabinet at my gamestop so not as rare. But get this they are 39.99 used ha!

I want to pick them up, but they're definitely not worth $40 bucks each at this point... new or used.

They are rare go pick them up asap. When you get back, post them in the right forum.

Not rare, and really not hard-to-find anymore either.

They are amongst the rarest games to find. Get them!

Yeah, it's a lot less rare now... I remember it was exactly a year ago that RE2 got reprinted... and I remember enduring the wait for RE3 to get reprinted... good times. Err... anyway, the games are definitely still worth buying... I loved both of 'em despite their age.

at least wait for a buy 2 get 1 free sale or 1 for 1 then buy them. they are all over ebay and at almost any gamestop or eb games. i wouldn't touch them for that price unless i can get something else out of it. I'm sick of f*ing eb and gamestop jacking prices on what they feel are rare games. marvel vs. capcom 2 is $49.99, screw that crap!

so no, they are not rare so don't listen to this clown saying they are.

-paece out-

RE2/RE3 were both reprinted by gamequestdirect.com last year - you can get them there new for $40/$30, which isn't much more than Gamestop charges for used ones.

These used to be ultra rare - I remember before the reprint finding 1 sealed copy of each sitting in a CompUSA. Paid $60 for them and they fetched about $200 total on Ebay.

just buy them off of ebay for $20 or so

My GS has had used copies for months now. Not rare as they were before. Like someone else said, wait for B2G1 free sale.

It's not just the rarity that drives up prices but also demand. The GC RE 2 and 3 were peaking as RE4 was being released. The combination of limited supply and increased demand pushed up the prices (to insane levels for PS1 retreads).
