What's the game you wanted but couldn't get before the price went higher than you were willing to pay?

I really should get around selling my PSX games before they completely rot away. Shame they're mostly NTSC and I'm in yurop. Shipping back to murrika costs an arm and leg.

Really? I picked it up for only $20 last summer

Shining Force 3

I already had a huge collection of games in the past. Pretty much if you can name it and wanted to have it, I bought it before it was popular/expensive.

I bought Earthbound WITH the guide for $25 in 1995

shadow tower jumped up around 2014.
the black label jewel case variant thing is starting to catch on whereas before 2012 most people didn't really take notice (doom, loaded, PO'ed, alien trilogy.) I have most but Loaded is now expensive.

Tales of Destiny 1 and 2 are the only ps1 rpgs I don't have. I'll never have a complete collection. Oh well.

I saw this game (eu version) at a pawn shop a few years ago

Learned it was rare a few days later
I regret not buying it

You can get it cheap on the PSN store.

Same with Legend of Legaia. Sucks how you can't get either on the AU PSN.

Dragoon guy here.

When I was 12 had to choose between Legend of Dragoon and Lengend of Legaia. I choosed Legaia because it was a rarer game, now I can't afford for a Legend of Dragoon because nobody buyed the hundrets of copies I saw in stores.

Legaia still is a expensive game, but as expensive.

I know, but they resell US copies here for 40 euros.

They don't work on unmodded pal consoles. I remember the game not working on emulators either.

The PAL version is that expensive because is a jrpg and you could import a copy from another pal country, but is on that language (French, Dutch, German, Spanish...). Is a mess. An expensive mess.

The tree of life is really overused, but the centipede thing was original from Legaia.

The tree of life is derived from the Norse Yggdrasil myth, you tard, not a video game.
