Will PS2's standard games become expensive in 20 years like the NES?

I think they will start increasing in value starting about 5 years from now, as kids that grew up with it go what we went through in the 8/16/32/64 bit generations.  That being said, I doubt more than a few games will breach the $100 price point on the PS2.  The library is just too massive for anyone other than obsessives to go for a full PS2 library, so most of the common games will probably always hover around the $1-$5 mark.  It's going to be the JRPGs, fighting games, shooters and survival horror titles that experience the most growth.  I could see Silent Hill 2 at $30, Gradius V at $45 and Disgaea at $50 five years from now.

I really need to get Gradius III & IV and Gradius V before they get there! I love me some shoot-em ups, and Gradius is one of the best series! I have the NES, SNES, and GBA ones.

I'm not a huge shoot-em-up fan, but I do pick them up when I find them for cheap because I find them fun to mess around with occasionally.  That said, I am on the lookout for the PS2 R-Type because I've always had a soft spot for that series.  I used to own that one & remember enjoying it quite a bit.  Dunno what possessed me to get rid of it.   :-\
