That game is rare but only fetches around $10-$15. Dual Hearts is another rare PS2 title from Atlus but it has little demand as well. The games weren't well received so even despite low print runs aren't sought after.

Does anyone know how to tell if you have the rare version of Kakuto Chojin before it was recalled and rereleased?

They're all the same copies. The re-release rumor is false. The game was pulled from shelves in 2003 and never edited.

I looked up some stuff on ebay but couldn't find much, mostly $4 a mag with/without demo discs, but this was just a quick and dirty search. Depending on the price I might be interested, I've been looking to snatch up the entire DCM collection.
I noticed Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for Gamecube is worth quite a bit so I picked one up at gamestop. Two questions:
-Why so rare? It seems like all the other RE cube ports were mildy abundant, is CVX even less so? You would think the RE2 & 3 ports would be rarer.
-Normally 2-Disc gamecube game cases have a spot for each disc, but the case I have just has one spindle for both, is this the wrong case or is it actually like that for this particular game?

Resident Evil 2 and 3 were at one time worth quite a bit. They got reprinted years ago. They were worth quite a bit more than Code Veronica.
That is the wrong case. The original case had 2 slots.

Atlus wrecks havoc with my nerves more then any other company. If I buy a game it plummets in value as they reprint it and make it extremely common...if I do not buy it it ends up being rare as shit. I just cant win with that company ;(

In regards to RE... hit the nail on the head. the GC RE2 and 3 used to be ridicuously pricey, especially given that they were ports. A few years ago, though, they (I think that company that does reprints) re-released them, and now every GameStop seems to have 2-4 copies of them, killing the value. Since CV never got a reprint, it's maintained the value, even though it was always less than the other two. Plus, when CV:X GC came out, I just don't think there was a ton of interest to begin with, hence it being worth at least $20 more than the comparable PS2 version, which can routinely be had for about $5.
3D Dot Heroes... honestly, I don't expect big rarity out of it. I have to agree with Zune duck guy, it may have just been a case of poor distribution the first week. All I know is that I've been to 3 Wal-Marts, and they all had about 15-20 copies of it, which leads me to believe that rarity won't be an issue. That, and a lot of PS3 exclusives, even the niche ones, seem to get higher print runs than they would have on other consoles.

Kind of what I am thinking. I did not expect it to be a rare title and wanted to wait to find it for around $20 to buy it....but hearing people, including the gamerswithjobs podcast gripe about not being able to find a copy got me a bit nervous.

Just keep in mind that a lot of Atlus games did a lot better than they expected, such as Demon Soul and Trauma Center. I think Atlus is increasing their print run. And ifa game is rare for whatever reason ($60+ for a used copy), you can bet they will be reprinting it.

[quote name='MSI Magus']The more in demand something is the more rare it is and as a result the more its worth. If something is not worth much then it probably is not that rare.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily true. I have two guitars in my collection that are extremely rare. One may possibly the last or only one produced of it's kind and the other in all my research I can only confirm one other and a possibility of a third that may actually be one of the two that I already know of. Both are 60-70 years old. I paid less for each of them than you would pay for a new crappy guitar. No 'expert' I talk to about either of them seems to know any more about them than I do, so nobody knows how to value them. Rarity means nothing without demand. Gibsons and Fenders have value because there will always be demand for them because there is so much documentation that exists and so many famous players that use them. Little known brands, no matter how rare, are a different story because so little is known about them. It's the same in the antique business. Just knowing that something is very old does not make it valuable. Roman bronze coins are very old but of low value because you can find them collecting dust in just about every coin shop in the world.

[quote name='SLeeK719']I once heard that the first copies of Oblivion: Elder Scrolls IV were rare because they were rated "T", but than quickly re-rated to "M". If so I have a "T" copy and was wondering if it is worth something/maybe someday will be worth something...[/QUOTE]
I really don't think that the T-rated version is worth more money or even sought after. Most people don't even notice the difference between the two and quite a few T-rated copies were produced. Not even the Collector's Edition is worth that much. The Game of the Year Edition essentially makes the original obsolete to boot.

[quote name='Be3fJerky']Anyone know if the Bioshock 2: LE for PC is rare? It's on sale right now for $59.90 and I can get 10% off, would that be a good deal?[/QUOTE]
I really do not think its rare. PC games seem to not be the same as console collections, it seems they drop in price much faster...but every once in awhile shoot up even more. I think its because there is less demmand for them, so when there are a lot of them printed they drop...but when almost none are it sky rockets.
Looking at ebay it does not seem many of them are being listed....but at the same time looking at completed listings the only one that sold did so at $50....

I bought a lot of 21 PS3 games last week on Ebay for $200 BIN. There were some decent games like Dante's Inferno, God of War Collection, Assassin's Creed 2 and a few others but the one's that stood out were: Star Wars: Ultimate Sith Edition and Avatar: Limited Edition (with the Jake Avatar figurine).
How rare is the Sith Edition and the Avatar edition? I know the Sith Edition came with one Collector's card and it was of Darth Vader(there are 10 cards in the set, and this is probably the most popular card). Thanks for any help.

Sith Edition is now the "regular edition" sold at stores. Although I have no idea about the card set.
Avatar with the figure edition was never sold in the states. I believe it was a UK exclusive. So to have it in the US (I'm just assuming you are) is rare. But I know that it's not worth much. I almost imported one for $28 two weeks ago, but I decided against it.

Sith Edition on PS3 is rare. It's OOS on Amazon and Gamestop. The highest price I've seen it go for on eBay was one that ended two or three days ago, $81 for a mint/complete used copy.
A lot of GS B&M stores still have it, so snap it up if you can find it.. especially a sealed one.
Man, even on ebay, "sith edition PS3" only yields four results.. I'm pretty sure it's already OOP.

Yeah, that's what I thought Scorch. I think the 360 version is a lot more common and can even be bought off of Amazon brand new still. For the PS3 version, to get the exclusive maps, there wasn't a code or anything for that, right? It will just be installed to the PS3 via the game? Thanks for your insight guys!

Damn... I had a feeling the Sith Edition might've been worth something down the line but I wasn't thinking it'd be going for $80 bucks!
So here's something of a speculative question... what Club Nintendo stuff do you think will be rare/pricey further on, if any at all? I've earned and sold the Game & Watch Collection & the Mario hat, which each fetch around $30, what do you think of the other stuff? It sounds like the posters are pretty popular.

A quick check on Amazon shows some CIB versions of that game between $11-15 with some minor cosmetic issues.

When I was out yard saling today I came across a Conker Live and Reloaded Demo. The case is thin, sorta like the case on DVDs when you buy a box set, and there's no manual. I asked the kid where he got it and he said his friend gave it to him. I offered him $1, he countered with $2 and I bought it. Here are pictures:

Not yet anyhow. I for one, enjoy picking up promotional oddities in the one dollar range (especially when they go with a game that's still at $20). One day that $2 might be $5! *the crowd hisses with exhilaration*
