This game is insanely rare. I have seen a total of one in person, ever, and it is the copy I have in my collection. Paid $30 for it at the time. which from what I've seen is a steal now.

It is amazing that there are in fact, rare PS2 games. Why make a PS2 game if you aren't going to do a large print? The PS2 was only one of the most owned game consoles of all time. I must have looked through thousands of PS2 games back when they were first being cleared out everywhere, and I never ever saw Blood Will Tell, God Hand, or Rule of Rose. Thankfully, I bought RoR online before the price really jumped.

Dammit, I always thought it was a pretty crappy rpg by only looking at the cover, never looked it up never bothered with it since I didn't want it anyways.

So many chances I could have own this game for ****  :-\

it is a bit cheaper here in europe 40 dollars  but still a waste since it is a really good game.

I never saw a copy of God Hand. The only times I saw Rule of Rose and/or Blood Will Tell was when I bought my copies.

Craziness.

It seems entirely plausible that one might still find these in a yard sale. I'm sure a ton of non-collectors still have a ps2 stored away somewhere with a random selection of games, unaware that anything so recent could be valuable. However, nothing is going to sneak by a retail store nowadays.

My favorite deal was when I got my TurboDuo. It was summer 1995. There was a store nearby called The Good Guys (anyone remember them?) that I used to go to for my electronics needs. I saw they had a TurboDuo so I asked the salesperson how much it was. He looked it up in their system and since it was their last one he said it was on clearance for $99.99. I was excited! When it was released in 1992 the MSRP if I remember correctly was $299.99. Since it was in the evening I couldn't go to the bank and withdraw money. The next day I went to the bank, withdrew money and went back to The Good Guys. When the salesperson rang it up, he said it was priced at $49.99. I was in disbelief. I then asked if he thought it would be discounted some more if I wait a few more days. He said he didn't know but he muttered to himself "If I had only known I would have got this for myself".

I still have that TurboDuo, it's still in brand new condition in the box with all nomenclature and plastic bags too.

Another deal I had was back in either Fall 1995 or Fall 1996.  I bought a brand new model 1 Sega CD for $39.99 from an outlet store called Music For A Song.  I'm guessing it was NOS because by that time the only Sega CD systems found in mainstream stores were the Model 2 versions.

I wouldn't call this a deal, more like I got it for a steal.  I shoplifted a Super Nintendo from Target back in 1992.  I'm not proud of what I did but back then as a dumb kid I didn't feel bad about it.  Karma caught up two years later when I got caught shoplifting and had to pay restitution.  Had to pawn that Super NES and other belongings in order to come up with the money for restitution.
