As a game? Probably not. There have to be other ways to play it since the Saturn DRM has been cracked. As a collector's piece? If someone wants it, has the spare cash, and it makes them smile; absolutely. Off topic: Can a game not be reverse engineered to get the source code? I'm asking because really don't know. |

Many games that cost quitte allot can be played for free with the emulator way and panzer dragoon saga is no exception especially since the sega saturn has been cracked. |

Some good responses so far. I am very much so on the fence about this; on one hand I have heard from many people that it is an experience unlike any other (which to be honest, is hard to imagine) and is up there with FFVII as being one of the best JRPGs in a generation filled with some of the best of the genre. However, I am a believer that almost no game, no matter how enjoyable is worth more than $300, tops. The only exception I have ever made to this and much of it was my undying love for the first two was Shenmue 3, which I dropped nearly a grand on. The only way I could ever fathom spending $500 on PDS is if it ended up becoming a top 10 game for me. I guess the jury is still out for me. I guess I have plenty of time to consider it since I am currently not in a position to drop that kind of cash on anything :p |

To be fair I never understood the reasons why people say that one should never spend so much on a single game. It is a hobby after all and if it is worth it to you than so be it. Some people spend 500 or more on a single game while others drop a couple grand on binoculars. Both things are pretty much worthless but they both do give some entertainment depending on the type of person you are. It is only a hobby after all. |

I guess the part that tears me up the most is knowing that I could have got this game for much cheaper than it is now, but here I am, more or less forced to pay $500 or potentially wait for who knows how long to find a better deal on it. I've seen this game a handful of times over the years at game stores ranging from $250 to $350, which while better is still expensive as shit. But yes, would rather drop $500 on this game over a fancy designer sweater, a fancy watch, or a pair of binoculars :p |
