wow lol...  10k.  I suppose it is unfair to compare limited editions to regular releases.

I don't put any stock in seeing items listed on Ebay like that.  Your first 50 listings are free, and still less than a dollar just to list the item after that.  So, it basically doesn't cost anything to put an item on display at an astronomical amount.  What someone lists an item for doesn't make that it's value.  That's over 6 times the most that collector's edition has ever sold for, and more than 12 times the average it sells for as far as I know:

Current generation game consoles have a new "Most Expensive Game" and its for the Playstation 3: Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition. It has sold for as much as $1,526.

Back on October 16th 2009, Sony announced they were giving away 200 special edition copies of Uncharted 2. They called it Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition.

The package includes the Uncharted 2 game, a guide book, an art book, and a replica knife.

Sony would give it away to 200 random people who played Uncharted 2 online October 17th and 18th. In late December the winners received their copies of this rare PS3 game and a few listed them on eBay.

The game quickly became the most expensive Playstation 3 game, and more expensive than any Wii or Xbox 360 game too. On average Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter has sold for about $800."


Still a hefty price, of course.  But, I wouldn't include collector's edition for the simple fact that the collector isn't paying that amount to have the game itself.  He's paying for the collectables that come with it, and the limited quantity nature of the product.


Yea, I figured the price was inflated a lot over the real going price.  1.5k is still a huge price for a collectors edition though.  I agree that collectors editions shouldn't be compared to a regular edition since they will always be worth more.  It amazes me at some of the games people posted that aren't collectors editions that are in the 100-200 range used from this past generation.
