Just like the games that sold less on consoles in previous generations, we all know PS3 games will be worth more than 360 games due to there being less copies and Bluray holding up much better to disc damage than DVD. Do you buy PS3 games instead of 360 games because of this?

:lol:

So in the used games market where game prices are decided by rarity of titles the ps3 version of games will be worth more because they "last forever" therefor all copies of those games will still be around and on the market as compared to 360 versions which supposedly are prone to "scratching" therefor the games will be much rarer and thus worth less?

Valkyria Chronicles is £13 and some 360 JRPGs are only £5 so I doubt it

Stop naming popular games with high print runs you Idiots !

 

Quality stuff with low print runs like the Japanese CAVE shooting collection box for 360, how much is it worth now ?

Not rare. Just niche. Valkyria Chronicles and can be bought for $10. Ni No Kuni was released this year and is already down to $20.

games prices are worth based soley on their rarity, not the kind of disc being used.  just google rare ps3 or 360 games, some of them are rediculously expensive.

kingoflife9

While I agree, in the future the PS3 games will be worth even more as they will stay mint while 360 games will continue to easily scratch up over time.

no, why would you do that

wiiutroll

To make more money when you finally get rid of your games, to not have to worry about them getting scratched up.

One, I said PS3 games have less copies sold. Thus, more rare and worth more in the future. Two, PS3 games can be kept face down on surfaces and still not scratch, while 360 games obtain scratches coming in and out of the system or cd wallets or the occasional mishap or just plain neglect. Thus, 5 years from now you're looking at 85% of PS3 games being scratch free mint, while 360 will have 25% mint, 25% good/very good, 50% good to acceptable. It's already this way based on Gamestop samples. In the future it will be collectors basing purchases on quality, not mainstream consumers deciding on games for which console has the best multiplayer (in their opinion) and most friends to play with.

Over time it will get worse and worse for 360 games condition. You're telling me you go on ebay and spend the same amount of money on NES, SNES, PS1, Saturn, N64, etc. acceptable, good, very good games as you do on like new games? I don't see any reason to laugh. What's laughable is spending the same amount of $ on a worse condition item.

Well then I guess I'm much better off. I've made more money in the past by buying the best quality rare multiplatform titles for the same price as lower quality more available titles. Furthermore, it wasn't only because of the rarity, know that for sure.

LMAO!! NO. I buy games for both platforms. I can buy them both pretty cheaply on EBay. The pricing isn't all that different. Most of the older PS3 and 360 games are dirt cheap now.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"] Many times I've sold them for more than I paid. I've purchased games based on disc/cartridge quality since the early 90's, I'm shocked others don't maximize their future value.

No,I buy them because I own a PS3.:?

I own PS3 and 360 and buy according to best version and best deal/future value.

I wasn't talking about differences in value so early. I was talking about collecting games for future value. You'll see PS3 copies worth more down the road, 5 and especially 10+ years from now.
