    'Rare' games of this gen

    As I'm sure many of you know, there are a fare few games that knock around in games shops that will fetch ?50+ on ebay and the likes.
    I've been observing games from the PS2 era that will one day, do the same. This may be due to not enough copies being made, it may be due to collectors snapping them all up, it may be that the game slipped out unnoticed, it may be that the game only had a european release but didn't officialy come out in the UK, it could be a combination of the 3. So, can you think of any games that you've seen over the last 4 years which people may not of seen or even heard of?

    Not really sure about rare but something like xii stag i think the average gamer would not have heard off
    But most people here would probably have heard of it
    Psyvarier was a quiet release and probably Castle Of Shikigami 2 will be to

      CastleVania Harmony of Dissonance(Sp?) and Aria of Sorrow PAL copies are really really hard to find.

        Marvel Vs Capcom 2 JP PS2. Doesn't pop up for sale much, though since it's not exclusive, the price shouldn't get too crazy.

        Special Sound Box version of Psyvariar seems to be pretty rare too.

            If you're after a copy of this, NCSX still have some in stock. I bought mine from there about a year ago.

                One thing I've noticed, is that a lot of the earlier (PAL) Konami PS2 titles are quite hard to pick up; I'm thinking Police 24/7, that ****e musical RPG thingy (Ephemeral Fantasia?) Gradius III & IV, International Track & Field (and so forth).

                  Police 24/7 isn't really worth much mind, ?10 in Gamestation I think.

                  Gitaroo Man wasn't worth much, but because of coverage in magazines and high regard by gamers, people have wanted it increasingly more, so all the ?4.99 new copies in GAME have been snapped up, and it regularly now goes for anything between ?15 - ?30. But it is worth it, being an amazing game and all.

                  Ico went upto ?60, but now settles to around ?35 - ?50. Still rare of course.

                  Track and Field has held no real value either, but it's rare that's for certain. Rez has also increase in demand so the price has gone up to ?10 - ?20 for the PS2 version.

                  Otherwise, there aren't many I can think of that are that rare other than those in this thread.

                      Ico's not rare. Go onto eBay any day of the week and you'll see anything between ten and thirty copies for sale - right now, there are thirty-three of them on the British site.

                      It's simply overpriced, because idiots in this country keep on getting sucked in by the R@RE!!!11!!! nonsense and place stupidly high bids. Over ?40 for a copy from a UK seller, but only between ?15 and ?25 from those on the French site.

                      And to think, Internet shopping was supposed to have reduced prices by making it easier for consumers to be informed and to search for the best offers

                        I find it so tempting not to do the same when I put games for sale on there - you know if you do you'll probably make more money off some chump. But so far my conscience won't let me do it.

                          Pal Gradius III+IV is pretty cheap. There were 2 at a BIN price of ?14.99 on ebay t'other day. I did sell one about a year ago that was sans manual and it went for some stupid ?35+ price (the buyer was foreign so my sleep wasn't affected).

                            That's not between ten and thirty

                              Ebay prices for Marvel vs Capcom 2 PS2 or XBOX go bonkers and I sold one for well over ?25......

                              I reckon Gradius V will end up becoming the same, as will Gitaroo Man, Parappa 2, Resi 4 GC, and a few others....
