To put things in perspective as to how much more expensive the N64 is in Europe, consider this, fellow Americans: Conker here is about equal to Banjo Tooie over there.

well you think collecting saturn games is rough in america try doing it in the pal regions, they got worse boxes then we did they got these wierd cardboard things. they did get alot of games we didnt though

NES Rarities, SNES rarities, SCD rarities, and Gamecube good and overlooked titles are up.
N64 is down w/the exception of (2) titles, PSX rpg's are down significantly from 18 months ago and even a year ago, PS2 is down, etc.


Some Saturn games seem to have dropped a good bit over the last 6 months for whatever reason. I have a feeling it's due to the unwillingness of buyers to use Buy-It-Nows which have been artificially raising the prices for years.

Nights has gone back into the mid-teens to mid-twenties. Fighters MegaMix is extremely cheap. Die Hard Arcade is back in the low twenties.

I have a copy of Project Justice for Dreamcast that I bought for $68 (it was only $20 when it came out in the US). Unfortunately, it lagged on the part when I tried to unlock Burning Batsu, but fortunately, it got repaired at my local game store and it works like new now.

Don't mean to sound ignorant... but.... err, how do you fix a disc?

Huh, I didn't even know you could do that. What sort of places do this, and how much does it usually cost?

You have to be careful though. A few people have reported resurfacing DC games that were a little flaky only to have them no longer work at all. CD and DVD based games should be fine as long as the disc isn't too far gone and it is a quality machine.

I was joking about it being rare at least :)

Is E.T. rare? I think I paid $0.50 for my copy at my local shop.
