    I have been offered a PAL version of Bangai-o for the Dreamcast for £15. It is in good condition....is that an alright price for it? I'm not sure...since I see people mentioning that the Jap version is quite rare ^_^ Well, that is with me assuming Bangai-o and Bangaioh are the same game ^_^ Thanks in advance :)

    Ummm... I would say if yo boight it for that price you would kick yourself, it normally goes for £5/8.

    £2.99\3.99 in most Gamestation stores second hand.

    I know my local store has a couple there.

    It was always lying around in the stores here for 5€, so i got it 3 times because many people said it might be rare sometime :) But the price should not be much higher now

    Bloody hell, Bangaio in Japan is one of the rare games. Mine cost me 17 pound which is quite expensive over here for a used Dreamcast game.

    I bought Bangai-O for £2.99 brand new (totally mint with no fingerprints) from Gamestation yesterday....so £15 seems steep...

    Didn't look up to much when I tried it...maybe just not my scene tho...

    The rarity of games very often varies with region. Examples of this:
    Roll Away for US PSX = $15
    Kula World for UK PSX = £45 ($75)

    Castlevania: Symphony of the night US PSX = $15
    Castlevania: Symphony of the night UK PSX = £50 (at least)

    Bangai-O sold best in the Europe, it seems, so copies of it are relatively easily obtained. It is a good gamethough.

    Those two are the PAL games that are worth the most over here. If you ever see them, or Puzzle Fighter, Bubble Bobble or Suikoden 1/2 cheap pick them up :)
