Probably the most expensive game I have, not counting collector's editions, would be .hack//Quarantine.  I bought the full set off of a good friend of mine last Fall who isn't much of a collector & was trying to work up some extra money for a PS4.  I paid him $150 for the full 4-game set, complete & in mint like-new condition.  So I guess that works out to $37.50 / game. 

Counting collector's editions, it's probably my Ni no Kuni Wizard's Edition.  I bought just the game at first and absolutely loved it, regretted not getting the CE.  Then I saw that there were still some available for preorder on the German Amazon, and that those sets were completely in English (game & book).  So I imported one for $109, shipped.  It's worth at least double that now, not that I would ever part with it. 

Probably the most I ever PAID for a game was Steel Battalion, back in the day - I think it retailed for $250.  Sadly I sold it, kinda wish I still had it in my collection.

A lot of now valuable games have gone through my hands over the years, back when I was more willing to part with things.  I don't want to talk about those.  :P

You are one lucky dude. Namco/Bandai really dropped the ball on North American gamers with this thing. They made it exclusive through their website, and even if you did preorder it, a ton of people had their preorders cancelled or just didn't get one because of issues with their distributor. Of course because of this they were going for like $400 for a while. They have calmed down in price and can now be had for around $200 used, but I'm still holding out for them to drop around $150. I preordered it at an indi game shop that somehow managed to get three in, however they pulled a huge bait and switch on me and decided that they were going to charge me $350 instead of the $100 MSRP. Last time I ever did business with those greedy POSes.

Funny timing....  I just got one of these in my store the other day....  I put it on hold and I'll pick it up for 110$ next week or the week after....  Great game, wish I hadn't gotten rid of my original....

I think my most expensive game would be Sonic Adventure 2 and sonic shuffle on the dreamcast for £90 each. They are sealed. Second would be Resident Evil Code veronica X on the gamecube sealed for £50
