Title: Most overpriced game you ever saw?
Post by: Doodle on February 19, 2008, 03:18:17 PM
Well I was at this place called Gibralter(it's like a huge garage sale, people come and have little shops and stuff of whatever and you come and buy them) and there was this game store. A lot of the stuff was overpriced, like most of the original Game Boy games were like 20-25 dollars! I was looking for Super Mario All-Stars. So me and my bro find it, and it's like 60 dollars! The store owner was like "Yes, about 20 dollars for every game on it, plus Lost Levels was only available in Japan." I thought I wasn't gonna get All-Stars now. :( But then we find another game place and it's 20 bucks! :P

Generally the Zelda collectors disk is expensive, but I can understand that.

That's So Raven for whatever price it was ($5?).  They should pay YOU for buying that game.

I remember seeing that auction D:

@ The SMA-S Price; That's bullpoop.  Was it used?  I'm pretty sure SNES games (More specifically DKC3) were like $80 new at some point, but I remember seeing that at Sears, so that might be off :P

Zelda: Collector's Disc on sale for $500 bucks.  I'm serious.


I saw it at an old gamestore a little while ago.  I nearly jumped when I saw the price tag. (I even asked the store OWNER and he said it was $500 bucks).  No wonder it shut down. 


Good thing I got it for free when I bought my Gamecube. ;)

Radiant Silvergun. It's import-only, on top of being massively overrated and a cult favorite.

Ripping on a mediocre game when you know darn well there are far worse games out there doesn't make you cool.
