The most expensive game you have ever purchased?

Not sure if there are any game collector's here, but from what I've seen on Ebay as of late, there are a lot of crazy prices for old school games on sale. The most extravagant so far is NES's 'The Flinstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak' being sold brand new and sealed for $250,000!

So even if you somewhat of a game collector, what is the most you've ever payed for a game?

For me I would say paying $61.11 for a like-new copy of .hack:Vol 4 Quarantine off of amazon. I had to swap the cases as the plastic case was busted but the cover art and manual were perfect, and the discs didn't have a single faint scratch or scuff on em at all (I feel for this price getting these discs in this condition was a pretty good deal).

duke nukem balls of steel addition=100$

resident evil orc special addition-80$

devil may cry special addition(got it signed by johnny bach)-100$

i regret neither

In 2004 I paid 95.00 for SuperMario RPG. There was no virtual console back then.

for a single game probably about 70£ for ffxiii-2 crystal edition. but i did also by the collectors edition, a standard copy, 2 guide books as well. so that did turn into about 150£+ for ffxii-2 but i did get a lot of stuff.

Halo Reach Legendary Edition for £100. (Conversion to $, about $150)

Probably paying £70 ($100) for Virtua Racer on the Mega drive back in 1994. Given rates of exchange and inflation this would be around $145 for a game today.

But god damn, I loved that game. Three tracks of greatness.

110: guildwars nightfall: collectors edition pre-order (worth every gd penny)

Around $350 for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Rock band for 200 I think

250$ for brand new factory sealed Demon's Souls Black Phantom Edition EU release, 250$ for brand new factory sealed Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition NA release and I have absolutely zero regrets. I won't sell them and they will stay sealed for many many years to come...

Wii Sports - $250.

Well worth the price.

Last spring I paid $98 on Ebay for a mint condition copy of Radiant Silvergun on the Sega Saturn. Glad I bought it when I did because since it was released on XBLA it's value has gone up to nearly $150 on average.

Single purchase? Diablo 3 Collectors Edition at $100.

Otherewise Hellgate: London Collector's edition along with a lifetime subscription at $210..... That one hurt.

Mass effect 3 - SG$100 ~ US$80

too bad that this bday present made me more depressed after finishing this.

Never more than $65.

Starcraft II: WoL Special Edition at £75. But at least it was a SE that felt special, compared to something like ME3 which just crowbars some small stuff into a DVD sized package.

$80 for Mass Effect 3 Collector's EditionAlex3796

I've never spent more than $50 on a single game. Anything above that is a ripoff to me for the most part.

I've always gotten my game at standard regular price 40 and lower at some point.. i personally thing that the collector edition even though personal perference is useless nd should be seperated from actual games.....

Halo 3 Collectors eddition - 93 euros

Crysis 1 Special Steel Book edition - 73 euros

I think about $120 each for mint copies of Wind Waker (the edition that comes with OoT master quest) and Twilight Princess for the gamecube. Or maybe one of them was $100, I can't remember. Still haven't opened them yet, bought them in January last year.

I should mention that I live in Australia, where the norm for a new retail game is ~$100. I bought both of the Zelda games from the UK, where I now buy all my new games for ~$60.

About $100 for the Max Payne 3 special edition, that's the most recent one I can think of. Don't think I've ever payed more than 100 for a single game, aside from something like Guitar Hero.

i would have to say the older genesis games...i think sf2 turbo edition ran for $70+ when it first came out

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector's Edition & Catherine Love is Over Edition. Both were $80.

Probably Portal 2 for $60 right around it's release.

....I rarely buy special/collector/whatever editions of games. I did get the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY last year in December but it wasn't really all that expensive so that doesn't count.

Probably around the £45 mark.

Anything over that is crazy to me.
