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. |

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. |

Craziness. |

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. |
