| twesterm said: So how much do PSPGo games cost? I assumed it was going to be less because it's digital but I can't actually find their prices. When I got to the playstation store page, it wants me to install something in order to actually see the price and I just don't want to do that. So, the only thing I can really find is this which says they will be as much as retail games. If that's the case, I'd love to see the auctions where you sell your used games for as much as a new retail game or more actually since you said you made money on rebuying your collection. Also, you make it sound like owning things like original NES cartridges is a waste of time. You obviously aren't any kind of retro gamer but give it 10 years and you'll love playing with those old BluRay discs and UMD's (if you still have any). -edit- And to answer your question about the DS-- it depends. I have no interest what-so-ever in the DSi because it can't play my GBA games but that's because it's marketed as a DS. If they made a DS2, I wouldn't care if it couldn't play my DS games because it's not a DS, it's a DS2. I would obvious prefer it to be backwards compatible, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker if not. |
Well, I guess I'm assuming that most people with game collections for their handheld are collecting games they want to replay in the future. Replayable games tend to fetch a pretty high price on eBay, after they are out-of-print -- higher even than used retailers sell them at, typically, because the used retailers sell you the disc only, often repackaged and dinged up, and if you offer the complete manual+case+UMD in good condition on eBay, you get more (presumably from someone interested in collecting the title).
I'd show you the auctions, but I'm not going to hand out my eBay account id on an internet forum... I apologize that I can't "prove" it to you in this manner. I have an alternative for you, however.. a better one, actually. Just visit eBay, start the process of "selling" an item, and you can find the average sale price very easily, if you're interested. I think you'll be surprised.
Until publishers offer a trade-in program for UMDs-to-digital, the eBay solution is actually a pretty decent one, IMO, if you currently own a UMD PSP and want to upgrade to a Go.
