Why the hell do PS3 games cost so much on ebay??

Every PS3 game on ebay seems to cost so much, for example a copy of elder scrolls Oblivion costs around $35, whilst a copy of oblivion and bioshock combined cost $25, it doesn't make sence why I have to pay so much money for these games.

If your wondering why the costs look high its because Im Australian.

I don't think its expensive. I saw Army of Two The 40th dayfor $40 and in the shops it costs $110

Well maybe because people out there are willing to pay that and why not get the most out of what your selling. Personally, I check playasia and hkofferhouse for deals. Korean games tend to be rather cheap with full english and they are not used.

used games are like $5-10 more than 360 games

screw ebay, just go to JB hifi, we have dirt cheap games. i just gota ps3 and have had a wii and 360 for years. killzone 2 $35, MGS4 $29, Resistance 1 $25 and resistance 2 $35.

btw those are the pre owned prices.

I dunno, $35 for a game with a 93 Metacritic score that you can play for well over 100 hours - doesn't sound like all that bad of a deal to me.

I got Infamous and prototype for under 40 a little less than a month after their release

Look. Elsewhere.Symphonycometh

the situation is a lot better these days, we actually get the same bundles and special editions the rest of the world gets!

I hope I don't get moderated for saying this but the truth is that most of the time all these games sell better on the X360 and as a direct effect there's more saturation in the market of pre-owned games than on PS3.

More games = cheaper

Few games = pricier

Compare the number on ebay and you'll notice that for every game you're looking for there are like 100 for PS3 and like 500 for X360. I'm just making an exaggerated example so you people get the point easily.

Because people want money
