Video Game "Look what I found"

[Breetai]

I recently picked up a brand new, black label copy of Final Fantasy XII for $10 at K-Mart. I know it's not worth much now, but I plan on holding onto it and leaving it sealed since I already had another copy.

Do you guys think a game with such a large print run has any chance of seeing a significant increase in value over the next 5-10 years?

To be honest? No.

The only reason FFVII does is because it was a landmark game that many people have a huge nostalgic attachment to. Even then, you can get a CIB FFVII for $30. FFXII doens't have that going for it. It will still be $5-10 in that many years. Sealed? You'll get something more.

Not recent (a couple of years ago), but one of the best deals I ever encountered was getting a new/like new Steel Battalion from Gamestop for about $35.

That's not a bad deal at all!

Mjmjr25... I'd love to visit your home sometime. Sounds like a retro gamer's/shoot 'em up fan's heaven! Where in your state to you live? I'm on the northern border, I'm at least within an 8 hour drive I'm sure!

Then I went through his things again and he sold me a ps1 classic controler for $2.00

Hey, hanging out is actually feasible. Crazy!

Why don't you bring the cabs up north? By the way, is it worth coming down (I assume Duluth. Did I already know that and just forgot?) to look for some retro gaming?

$10 on Craigslist, nearly mint. I've seen it game only at Gamestop a few times but never really knew what it was until now. Basically Donkey Konga for PS2 with a cooler peripheral but the same crappy song list. I don't really know if I got a good deal since prices for games+peripherals are harder to find, but for $10 I'm too much a sucker for plastic instruments to pass it up.

Lol, this was the game back with the old group I used to hang out with, we were all really in to it. I got one and only played it a bit before the group moved on. Mom always hated it as she could hear the drumming but none of the music, so sounded like I was just a mad man hitting things.

Good times if you haven't played it. Super cheap, see the drums all the time at thrift stores, usually missing the sticks though.

This should occupy my time quite nicely

Nice Finds. Silly me, I thought 5200 and NES Carts were big.

Great price on your Sony! You might want to buy the power supply chips as backup just in case yours might fail down the road. Both of my KV32HV600 and KV32HS500 which are WEGAs have that Trinitron logo in the top left corner. The Trinitron name has been around for a long time, used for years prior to the WEGA line. I thought all the WEGAs have the Trinitron logo, what model number is your Sony?

I had seen it at one of the goodwill locations I hit up and it was $20, for some reason I passed on that price (still a good price!) Then I went there another day and it was marked down to $15 and I knew I had to load it up right then and there!

Mine says "WEGA" in the top left corner, I looked at the back and it actually says "Trinitron color TV" and the model number is KV-27HS420

A beautiful HD CRT! Sony Support has all kinds of PDF Docs.

<PS1 Finds>

Pandemonium is a good platformer. Besides the 2nd version, I wonder if it ever got a remake on a newer console?

<Taiko Drum>

Still in the box! I really need to look into the import drum discs, see if they are worth getting.
