End-Gen Games: To Buy or Not To Buy

[Retrogamer0001]

Deadly Premonition has been on my radar for a while now, and while I own two copies of the Xbox 360 version, I agree that in the next year or so, the PS3 version will likely become very tough to track down. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with that one.

This is a game that looks to be extremely under the radar and will probably be tough to track down in the years to come. Released on both 360 and PS3 to limited fanfare and being a late release, I expect many people outside the Castlevania fanbase passed this one up.

I am a Castlevania fan, and I actually passed on that one. From what I have read, the DLC and Mirror of Fate are not actually on the disc (i.e., you get voucher codes for them); so, I just picked up the much, much cheaper original game. (If the DLC and Mirror of Fate had been on the disc, I would have picked the game up without hesitation.)

I wonder if Under Defeat HD on the PS3 will be a hard to find game one day? Its a shmup and an Amazon exclusive so I can't imagine it sold very well.

Maybe that was the reason people passed on that.

Cool find! I think it would be really interesting to see some sales numbers on that one. If recent Ebay and Amazon listings are any indication, there are some copies out there though. I'll have to look into picking this one up.

Anyone think the Playstation Move controller peripherals will be worth anything, i mean there are a few games that might be good right?

I know I did. GOTY editions with the DLC available as a download code are worthless to me.

I definitely agree - give it to me on the disk or not at all. Still, physical copies of games like this (that no one picks up) tend to become collector's items for being oddities, especially a game in a franchise like Castlevania. I do think it will be valuable down the road and one to consider if the price drops down to the 19.99 mark.

I had a blast with Time Crisis: Razing Storm. The port of Dreadstorm Pirates on there is easily one of my favorite PS3 games.
