vanessaking2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I recently watched Pricecharting and saw that FF VII Press Kit is over 1000$. for the PS5 version. Cool thing, eh? Do you know other expensive games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil757 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I have games that are worth loads but nothing modern. I've been 99% digital since the start of the PS4 generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepheroithisgod Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think I read that the early build of Persona 5 with unused content in it sold for over a $1000 recently. Not too sure about anything that modern being worth much. It's usually only press kits or early builds of modern games that have any form of value. They are overprinted and available digitally. The only other thing that comes to mind is the Super Mario 3D All Stars collection for the switch, which was artificially made scarce. And even that can still be found for a normal price point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Overlord Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The press kits will usually always be worth a fair bit as they have items in not available anywhere else. (Glorified bribes IMO XD) As for retail releases I'd say the Asian English or Korean English versions of games that have no other physical version available are the ones where the high prices stick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PondNewt Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I'm a collector going for a full set of European PS5 games (so mostly those with a PEGI age certificate). The most expensive regular edition game released thus far which I'll need to purchase is In Rays of the Light. Currently it's going for just over £100 on eBay. Originally it was around £20-30 from a limited run print company but is now sold out. Though obviously nowhere near the price many retro games can climb to, it's still annoying seeing that when on sale, I could buy the game digitally for about £3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is limited run in a sense, it's from European (possibly French) limited run print company Red Art Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiyanbloodstyle Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Usually games that get de-listed from the store, the physical versions shoot up in price, happened a lot on PS3 and PS4 and will happen for PS5 too, or just generally if a game doesn't do that well and don't sell much, they stop production and they become rare. A game i have on PS4 is Godzilla, cost me £85 and now going for over £100+ because it's been de-listed and i'm guessing not too many are out there.

I'd say Tamashii and Poop Slinger are probably the most expensive non press related games (PS4) Edited January 24 by Dark_Overlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can see pricecharting you don't need to ask the question about other games, since those would already be listed on that site.

Nintendo Switch may be a kids toy. But PS is an adult's gadget. Edited February 6 by syeddanishanwar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
