If you have no dare I say it "Retro" game stores around you (traumatizing when referring to ps2 as retro) then easy places to find ps2 games are goodwill, pawn shops, some walmarts still posses ps2 games, and some card shops buy and sell video games. other than that when spring and summer come back around they are fantastic places to find ps2 games for dirt cheap.

Good luck! Hopefully you find some good stuff. Someone just recently finished or is close to finishing a PS2 collection, though they weren't going for everything that came out but just everything they wanted.

I have PS2 dupes but am not currently selling anything. I'll let you know if that ever changes though :)


yeah i went to a pawn shop today and they were cleaning shop on PS2 and Xbox original games selling them for a buck each. Picked a few to resell on ebay but the majority i got for myself. Got 35 titles for 35 plus tax. Some need manuals and artwork but at a buck i couldn't pass the opportunity lol

Lol the hard part wont necessarily be finding/getting all the games. Itll be finding them in a condition that you would like in your collection, especially from pawn shops.


true but i dont mind have clear replacement cases and a rebuff will fix any other issues. If i have to get new artwork i can (have to on a few i got) but its not too hard to get in good shape. Got a few in great shape and at a buck each i couldnt complain

lol keep an eye out for buy one get ones in used game stores. the one that I go to all the time runs a buy 2 get 3 free on a certain category of games during certain holidays like memorial day and veterans day. they usually just pick whatever system they have the most games for and it is usually ps2/xbox games. Its where about 150 of my 180+ ps2 games came from.


the only store in town i see with deals liek so far is game exchange and they are a all games priced 7.95 or less buy 2 get third free. Did the deal to get some filler titles for cheap and will go back when i think they have more they dont rotate often in the ps2 area

Some of the best games-as you might guess-are some of the most expensive.  Setting price aside, here are some I would recommend.

Jak & Daxter trilogy and Jak X Combat Racing
Ratchet & Clank trilogy, Deadlocked and Secret Agent Clank
.hack series (7 games total)
Final Fantasy X, X-2 and XII
Dark Cloud 1 & 2
Rogue Galaxy
Sly Cooper trilogy


thanks will look into some of these i have a .hack game incoming (cheaper 17 dollar one) but will keep a look out for the rest if i can for cheap.

The Jak, Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank games are all pretty inexpensive.  Rogue Galaxy isn't too pricey and neither is the Final Fantasy games.  Dragon Quest VIII is another great RPG but can be kinda pricey, especially if you are looking for a complete copy.


yeah the dragon game is on my radar as i have never played that game or any of the series and would love to try it! thanks for the input!

You can't just recommend someone a niche series that will cost 200+ haha.

also how much is shipping for jak 3? ebay claims cheapest complete is 6.95 black label

Playboy the mansion is actually up on Leaptrade right now
Avoid the PS2 version of Sonic Heroes it's poorly optimize and the worst version of that game



im going for full collection no matter how long it takes me but i bet there are some games i wont ever play but want in the collection. But im sad to hear its the worst as i love sonic games also ty for the leaptrade but they want a tadtoo much
