So, I've been trying to finish up my Sega Genesis collection for a while now. I have about 33 games to go. Lots of CIB Genesis games are $100 or more. When I'm done with my Genesis collection over 1/4th of the library will be games costing over $100. Anyway, I went to my cousin's house the other day to play Silent Hill 2 with him. He had Silent Hill 3 CIB, and I suddenly realized I didn't have it in my PS2 collection. I looked it up, and it's worth an eye-watering $130. This reminded me that I still had a few undiscovered PS2 games to add to my collection. So this morning I decided to go through metacritic looking for good PS2 games that I don't yet have, and add them to my wishlist on https://www.pricecharting.com/ I haven't bought a PS2 game in five years. I knew they used to be pretty cheap, but assumed the prices for them went up along with the rest of the used games market. Nope. Most PS2 games are still pretty damned cheap, even for CIB. I'm talking Vectorman 2 or Sonic 2 cheap. And to be honest, after being knee deep in Genesis collecting for the past 12 months, it's just a breath of fresh air!
I mean for real. Anybody that has kids and is struggling to keep them entertained during this pandemic, get yourself a PS2! Games can still be had for $10 to $15. And I'm not talking about A FEW games. I mean the vast majority of the PS2 library is still dirt cheap.
