Go look on Ebay for games like,
Castlevania: SotN
Suikoden
Suikoden 2

I really do wonder if the last two will show up on the Euro PSN store....

Wishful thinking....

Good to see this site is still going

SOTN and Suikoden are on PSN though, why would you be looking on ebay?

Some time ago I made a list for myself of last-gen games I wanted play. Here it it:

Indigo Prophecy

I played this game's pc version. Really easy to get. cost: free

God of War

This game is still widely available. cost: € 12

God of War II

As widely available as its brother. cost € 11

Metal Gear Solid

This one became available through the PSN Store. cost: $10/€7

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

I got this one second hand. The case is broken though. cost: €7

Cost so far: € 37. There were only 3 games left on my list, but this is where the problem started:

ICO

Very rare, but I managed to get it second hand yesterday. I found this was getting a bit expensive. cost € 32

Shadow of the Colossus

Very rare. Seems like this will costs me a lot of money

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Snake eater seems to be buyable rather cheap, but I believe this version of the game is vastly superior. Haven't managed to get it yet. It's rare and will cost me a lot it seems.

So do you think it's normal to pay 40+ euros for games like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and MGS3 Subsistence? I'll probably be paying the same for them as for a new full-priced game, but I'm still feeling bad about it. What should I do? Should I just get them? Will they ever be rereleased in the not so distant future? Now I'm certain ps2 classics will arrive on the ps4 at least, but I don't think I should wait that long. Are they worth their price tag?

Maybe I should try to resell them after having beaten them as their value isn't really going to drop.

I have Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

I got it at a pawn shop a few weeks after the game released for $20. :P Was it hot? More then likely, but I could care less haha

You want to know what price is ridiculous?

I went to Walmart today and in the PS2 section they had Armored Core 3. Game sells on eBay for around $10. Walmart was asking $49.97.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
