videogameexperiment wrote:When Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny comes out for the Wii next month all collectors should buy it. The previous game, Rune Factory Frontier, is routinely over $50 for a used copy and that was made during the Wii's popularity. This one should sell even less on all accounts. For those of you who don't know, the Rune Factory series is Harvest Moon mixed with action RPG. Since this is made by the same guys as Harvest Moon, and Harvest Moon games tend to hold value well, along with it coming out in the wii's death twitch and at $40? I think its a no brainer.
i recently read - i think over at nintendoage - that sealed copies of halo for the xbox are selling at 200-300 dollars. if somebody would have told me this a few years ago i would have told him he was full of shit. it will be interesting to see how the price of this game holds up in the future. keep in mind, though, that the people spending this kind of cash on this game are looking for almost perfect seals that will be graded high by VGA.
maybe current gen games, under the right circumstance, can be expensive in the future.

*checks Half and Amazon*
Pshaw. I can get one off Half.com for $15 shipped, sealed. Maybe they were talking about the Xbox system itself?

the money is for the first print run and not the plat hits version. taking a quick glance at amazon shows that pretty much all have plat hits in the description.
and i could have read it wrong, but i will try to find where i read that from.

here is a quote i got from nintendoage:
Since Halo was already discussed, it came out in November 2001 for $60. The last sealed original print copy I saw went for $250.
First party Nintendo games are always in demand and are usually quality games. Most of them will at least regain their value after their inevitable next-gen induced price drop.
those 360 CAVE ports will surely be $ought after for years to come
and yeah certainly all those built-to-fail consoles will fetch a pretty penny years from now (actually it's not really that funny )
