Game only (otherwise Rock Band would beat the hell out of everything) would have to be the $115 for a very good condition Earthbound cart.

That's super that they did that...but as long as you knew what you were getting and picked it out, you could've saved $60 and bought it on the racket - AND known what you were getting with absolutely no worries.

For my b-day I just spent around $200 for a Naomi Giga Wing 2 cart. That is the most expensive game for me right now.

$40 for the US release of Street Fighter Collectors Edition on the Sega Saturn. Back when I collected actual games for that system. I still have it sitting on the shelf.

LOL I'm trying to imagine what my parents would say/do if I tried asking for an $200 retro game for Christmas. There would be much eye-rolling mixed in with a good helping of "get a job" peppered with a couple of "isn't it time to grow up?"

130€ to import the American collector's edition of LBP2 AND buy the European normal version of LBP2 so all the DLC I've bought (around 80€ spent on LBP DLC) doesn't go to waste.....yeah I like me some LBP.....
