I'm interested. I always wanted to get into the SMT series, but it feels like there's a lot of different games within the series. Where should I start?
Edit: Also, how much is the above game usually worth?

There's a lot of games but since the majority aren't really connected it doesn't matter what you start with. But anyway, some recommendations:
Persona 3 or 4 - accessible enough and very good games, but very different from the rest of the series. I think they're a good gatway into the series though as long as you don't hate everything else for not being like them.
SMT: Nocturne - pretty much the most popular of the core SMT series. If you want to play a "real" SMT game play this. If you don't know your way around the series it could be a bit tough (I feel the difficulty for this game is exaggerated though when you're not playing on Hard). You can always ask me for help though :P
Devil Survivor Overclocked - I'll be honest and say this I don't think this is really good as a first SMT game...but a lot of people seem to think it is for some reason, and have started the series with the Devil Survivor games. Devil Survivor is a SRPG and there's no dungeon crawling so it's really different, but who knows, it might get you into the series.
Also I remember Soulless Army going for way higher but it got down to OK levels recently I think (by OK I mean not like 50-60+). Raidou 2 used to be around $25 but now it's switched roles with Soulless Army and it's very expensive now.

Sounds good. I've started playing the Persona series with P4G and I'm probably going to start P3 FES afterwards.
Hmm, going by what you say, Nocturne seems like the logical starting point. It's pretty damn cheap looking at Amazon, so I might just take the plunge. :P And I don't really mind the difficulty. I like challenges and figuring things out. So I'm guessing these games are all dungeon crawlers (besides Devil Survivor)? Do these games have any similarity to the Persona games, like beating the dungeons within the time limit?
