Uncommon Rare Games list

what makes me like gta is its huge expansive areas, the freedom of exploration, not the missions or the setting, i dont very much like the characters, just the "sandbox" like game....then again, i bought alot of games with this type of gameplay...but no....i dont love gta...im more of a retro person, ill be the one that will buy the retro compliation packs...

 

Agreed, I see them all the time. Picked up my own copy a while back for $20 new, but havn't bothered playing it yet.

 

well i thought i'd share what i got....they didnt have much in terms of games like rez..they did have this one rpg which had the a name which ive never heard or remember
but it was pricy,,,

i picked up feel the magic new for 20 bucks(its an uncommon game to find in my area)
and i also picked up toca race driver 2 for 20.....

i was low on cash....but i start my part time job this week....so im gonna have some cash

im almost tempted to buy an ngage qd due to its price and the games are only bout 8 dollars cdn...but that would be stupid

 

Rez and Gitaroo Man are moderately rare, if that. They're *expensive*, yes. But I've owned many copies of each, and I remember the days when Rez was stacked 5 deep at Circuit City brand new right when it came out (glad I bought it then, right?).

DDR Disney and Valkyrie: again, both expensive, but not even in the ballpark of the rarest PSX title. These games have literally sold 5-10x more copies than the true rarities on the PSX (which can often be had for under 10 bucks!).

Worst of all, GTA:SA being rare? Are you kidding? They sold *5.1 million* copies of that game. It doesn't matter how many they recall, there will still be more copies of SA than nearly any other game released in this generation.

 

Almost anything with the ATLUS label on it is or will br rare, IMO.

 

speaking or rez, does the us dc version actually exists? if it does, then it must be damn rare, or maybe i'm just unlucky.

 

It was never released in the US for the DC.

 

And the PAL DC version isn't common either.

But the PAL PS2 version used to be EVERYWHERE for 10 euros. kekekeke.
MvC2 on the other hand is already going in excess of 50e in France and Holland.

 

eBay may not be good indicator of what's "rare", but it CERTAINLY IS a good indicator of the games people actually want! I think "sought after" is a more appropriate term than "rare" in most cases; it implies the price has more to do with the demand than the supply (although low supply helps ). For instance any number of things, such as North America (or PAL too I suppose) Panzer Dragoon Saga, is sought after, but I wouldn't call these things rare since you can pretty much get a copy any time you want if you're willing to pay the price for it. "Rare" should be reserved for things that REALLY ARE hard just simply to find, whether online or in the wild.

 

Theres always going to be someone that doesnt know what he has when he sells stuff, so theres always a possibility...

 

There is from time to time...

 

Hey Survival Tobita, is your avatar from an anime about the NeXTStep computer or what? :smt030

 

If you're incredibly lucky, there can be something fairly rare from time to time. I wouldn't go in expecting to find anything, though, as you'll just disappoint yourself. It's much more of a "right place, right time" sort of thing.
