The full $60, it wasn't a retro game though, and i resold it recently for $20 because a remaster got announced for next gen consoles so there was no point in owning it anymore, especially since it lost its "exclusive" status. I pirate exclusively on retro consoles, paying for a flashcart or modchip and a stack of discs beats shelling out $100 per game.
