It's always seemed easier to find ZOE than ZOE2, at least in my experience.  Maybe it is just because I have yet to find a copy of 2 at a retail store.  I always figured it was because people bought the original for the MGS2 demo, then sold it.

^My Gamestops have been the complete opposite. I see the 2nd Runner here and there, but never the original.

Also, if you check ebay, you'll see far more copies of ZOE2 than ZOE.

 None of the games I mentioned are manufactured anymore. They can only be purchased used. It's what adds to most games rarity, the fact that they can't be bought new anymore, except maybe on eBay, or if a store had some overstock.

I could've sworn that this was repressed

Regardless, non of the games mentioned in this thread are really that rare.

I had a copy for about a week, hated it, sold it.

I love both ICO and SotC

perfer ICO since it has more polish.

On a rare game note, I really like niche games but could not get into Rez. It's one of the few rare games that I sold. I figured it should be in the hands of someone who digs it more.

That game is weird, but I liked to play it (disconsidering the fact that it was a straight port from N64 development). But I won't pay full price on it... Well, I've never seen one to sell, so I wouldn't pay it even if I wanted :P...

In 2458 the copyright for this title is over, and everyone is allowed to copy it freely.

 I have Cubivore; very fun, interesting game. I bought it the week it was released.

Ico is one of the best PS2 games, and one of the best games of last gen to me. SotC is also fun, but since my PS2 crapped out on me I was only able to fell about 13 of the big galoots.

I don't think Ico is that rare a game, but not something very common like GT3, MGS2, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the last time I saw sales data (a few years ago), it had crawled to 500k+ in America. It will probably end being like Super Metroid and Earthbound: not so much a rare game, just highly sought after.

I wish I still had my copy of Ico, I was an idiot a few years ago and sold some of my games....thats one I would love to show off to people.
