Lol the cod ones arent rare i could look them up online and find them cheap.

Now the uncharted one that's a rare one weren't only a select few made if i call correctly??
Aussiegamer  +   607d ago
Yeah uncharted was only 200 made.

And agree on the cod ones not rare at all.
WhiteLightning  +   607d ago
Never understood that stupid decision...

Even if it was like £150...I would of still bought it.
HebrewHammer  +   607d ago
And I have one! Courtesy of the 2009 tournament in Rosemont, IL! Team Drake represent!
tiffac008  +   607d ago
Oh my goodness...
I thank God I was able to buy Ar Tonelico Qoga for $60 and Hyperdimensional Neptunia for $50. lol!

I better get Hyperdimensional Neptunia MkII on release day to be safe. ^^
sashimi  +   607d ago
Yeah...i kinda wanna play Hyperdimensional Neptunia but its way overpriced >.< although i did get Qoga on release date. Now i'm just wondering if i should get MKII.
dragonknight4  +   607d ago
I too, am glad I got the limited editions of those two games before they became rare. Atelier Totori, which is also published by NISA, will probably become rare as well.
tiffac008  +   607d ago
The funny things is I didn't even know Ar Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimensional Neptunia where release in limited numbers. lol!

No wonder a lot of people in my area can't seem to buy those games locally XD

I will be preordering H.N MkII also. As for Ar Tonelico Qoga, I wanted to get that but I'm not made out of money and I never play the other titles, I skipped out.

I still have the first one. xD Wish I remember who on N4G insisted that NISA limited editions are not limited and that the price for Hyperdimension Neptunia will fall in price.

It's really only the Disagea series that seems to be mass produce and on almost everything.

noxeven  +   607d ago

I have the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter set, and NBA LIVE 11..well my brother as the NBA live 11. i think im gona go trade something to get his copy.
Lavitz2012  +   607d ago
Dude i would totally trade you my gf for the uncharted 2 fortune hunter set:P jk.
Jobesy  +   607d ago
I sold a rare game not too long ago, it was Aquanaughts Holiday Korean/English version. Got $90 for it on Ebay.
AHall88  +   607d ago
Any chance Ar Tonelico really would get re-released?
FAGOL  +   607d ago
"The Survival Edition of Fallout 3 was sold exclusively through Amazon.com." - That's a lie. I saw it last year at HMV brand new and it was under £50.

And wth MW2 prestige edition? Those things are no way rare or valuable.

Only the Amazon one came with the pip-boy alarm. Or so the article says.
Tuxedo_Mask  +   607d ago
I have the Ar Tonelico collector's edition, although I only bought it out of curiosity and because I wanted a good RPG for the PS3. I didn't really care if it came with all the extra stuff or not, but it did. There are a couple of stores around me that have the Hyperdimension Neptunia collector's editions too, maybe I'll pick one up tomorrow.
Fade_Walker  +   607d ago
The only ones I have a regret about is Assassin's Creed II: Master Assassin's Edition and Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition.
rezzah  +   607d ago
My brother got that Demon Souls one, really awesome package. I think it even contained the Guide Book which is only found in the limited edition. That makes it even better.
FacelessGod  +   607d ago
But what's this worth? As I understand it only twenty were made.

rezzah  +   607d ago
if only 20 were made then the price must be very high, especially for a real life replica.

Minimum $500 my guess.
Miiikeyyy  +   607d ago
U want one :3
rezzah  +   606d ago
lol no, i like things like this but i don't get money easily =p
princejb134  +   606d ago
is that the staff from infamous 2
DFogz  +   606d ago
Do want!
Where did you get that FacelessGod?
FacelessGod  +   605d ago
I won it in a caption contest.
coryok  +   607d ago
i never understand why there are limited production runs from some publishers. games like ar tonicula and hyperdimension neptunia would keep selling if they were reprinted so why arent they?
AHall88  +   607d ago
Very good question. I always find that odd, does it really cost that much to make more copies?
UltimateIdiot911  +   607d ago
It does especially for a small company that aims for the niche market which NISA does.

The only game they seem to keep printing is Disgaea but even that game has it's on and off.

If they make too much, and not enough copies sell, it could result in losses for them with titles such as Cross Edge, Last Rebellion and Sakura Wars. I wish sakura wars sold better as I really did enjoy that title but as for cross edge and last rebellion, those weren't too good.

NISA is a great company as they tend to take titles that are very niche and localization for JRPG is not cheap at all. It's why they aren't bringing any more Sakura Wars over because it just didn't sell enough (produce more supply than demand) and it takes a long time/lots of money to localize.
taijutsu363  +   607d ago
Destroy All Humans: Path of the Furon one my friends actually did tell me that its pretty rare game so Ima keep for ever!
tarbis  +   607d ago
I feel faint over the prices of Neptunia and Ar Tonelico.
Sugreev2001  +   607d ago
A buddy of mine has the InFamous 2 hero pack,it's awesome.
itz_zombies  +   607d ago
i got the infamous 2 hero edition for $59 from gamestop 2 months ago :D
DeadIIIRed  +   607d ago
I'm surprised they didn't mention the launch PS3's at all. They're already starting to go back up in value.
DFresh  +   607d ago
I've always wanted the UC2 Collector's Edition but Naughty Dog made it European Exclusive which is bull shit.
Now I'm getting the UC3 Collector's Edition best believe that.
I'd kill to have that Borneo Dagger/Art Book in the UC2 Collector's Edition.
skyblue14213  +   607d ago
The special editions of games that are worth having are games that have special additional content that other versions of the same game don't have. Otherwise all other types of special editions of games are a waste of money that contain a bunch of junk.

I know what someone will eventually probably come in defense of certain special editions of games like the modern warfare special edition game claiming that it comes with a pair of night vision goggles to justify the price. The fact of the matter is those night vision goggles are some of the cheapest on the market. If you want a good quality pair of night vision goggles you are going to pay 100's of dollars per pair.

I did get a laugh when I read up on the game called Hyperdimension Neptunia, because I sort of consider it the unofficial official game of n4g.
squeeb  +   607d ago
I have the MK Tournament edition. The arcade stick was worth every penny.
ssb3173  +   606d ago
i've got the lomited edition assasins cred 2 edition. it is acctually really cool and worth the extra money
Mgs4isOverrated  +   606d ago
Actually I get can all these games at gamestop. The only rare thing in these are the collectors content which no one gives to sh&$(@ts for.
SuMtOnE  +   606d ago

DFogz  +   606d ago

I thought it was going to be more than just bundles and/or special offers...

some games are consider rare just by themselves...

for example... it's not PS3.. but I think the original PSone version of Castlevania: SOTN is rare and I own it... not the version with the Green "Greatest Hits" written on it.. that was the 2nd one... I'm talking the one before that... I wanna say it's like 60+ if you wanna get it...

also what about the game Folklore??? I don't really know anything about it.. but I do remember reading it came out at PS3 launch and it was a pretty good game.... I bet ya that's considered a rare or hard to get game for PS3.
