    Ah, okay. Then it would probably be Psychonauts for me after all, then.

    Meh, any SMT game I suppose, Nocturne is still $30.
    Persona 4 is not that rare, only about $18 on Amazon :-/

    You own a physical copy of Alice?[DOUBLEPOST=1376763068][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Nocturne is just in demand, it had a lot of reprints. If you have a complete copy of the first printing which includes the soundtrack, then you have a rarity

    i sure do. it's just the cd case though, with the manual and disc. there's no packging box. but the cd is in good condition and i got it for 3 bucks at a goodwill, so no complaints whatsoever.

    CD case is enough to call it complete. Well done

    It's rare? We have a copy of that in this house somewhere, didn't seem like it would be rare though.

    Can go for pretty high. It's not much in demand thanks to the digital releases, so now only collector's want it. It had very little printings, if I remember correctly.

    As far as newer copies go, I'd say Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil, and Blazblue.

    As for the games in general, I own Killer Seven, Zone Of The Enders, Darkcloud, and Ico.

    I never ever go on e-bay so I' m not sure which games are or aren' t valuable/rare.
    If I go by what' s been said here then I own Xenoblade Chronicles and Metroid Prime Trilogy (both in stellar condition, bought them 30 euros each), and Castelvania SOTN, I borrowed it from a friend who also borrowed it from someone else I never met, but when I tried to give it back my friend said I could keep it, which left me utterly (but happily) confused.

    I have all the Siren games (apparently Forbidden Siren 2 wasn' t even released in the US) and Odin Sphere (got a hunch there aren' t many copies out there).

    I also have a bunch of Squaresoft import US games for PS1 (Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Legend Of Mana etc ...) which I guess are nothing special in the US but are ****ing rare here.

    It took me years to find a SH3 copy, and as it turned out the one I finally found almost always crashes when you try to open one of the doors in the hospital (a door that leads to key items of course, it' s not funny otherwise T-T), I think PAL Silent Hills 1 to 4 are all pretty rare. I never found any SH1 copy, but I do own SH4 and SH2 Special Edition (the one with the making of DVD).

    I saw Persona 4 in my usual store laying around for two weeks, back when it was released, but I never saw any copy anywhere again, so I think PAL versions might be pretty rare. Same goes for Re-Coded btw. Chrono Trigger DS didn' t even reach my usual store, apparently there were few copies here so not all stores got it, I had to buy mine in a bigger town.

    As for oldies there' s a NES and a Gameboy collecting dust at my parents'. Problem is my dad lend them left and right and now nearly all the games are nowhere to be found (which included Megaman 2,3,4 and 5, I' m stuck with Solstice).
