The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions
Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .
Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.
She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

Hello Games founder Sean Murray said the letter "broke our hearts and made us want to set things right". It has now been relaunched on iOS.
What an amazing story, Joe Danger was a fantastic game and hearing about these kinds of stories makes me much happier than hearing adults bicker back and forth about which animations a game is re-using and the amount of pixels on the screen.
This is what gaming is really about and I feel like some people just tend to forget that
From Xfire: "You'd think that there would be more good comic book video games (outside of the obvious superhero ones) released over the years, but the truth is, they are quite rare. Thankfully, a growing number of studios are tapping into this valuable resource to bring audiences the best comic book video games."
I really need to get my hands on Dead Nation.
Good choice. I haven't picked up the game yet but I was in the beta and loved it.
I'm really surprised at this, I thought for sure Lara Croft would win.
I concur with this article, Dead Nation did the whole zombies thing correct, it would be more bad ass though if it was like an open world MMO style zombie shooter though, like that Dead Frontier Browser game, but still Dead Nation is pretty killer.
I wonder what the odds are they will release an endless mode for DN like they did with super star dust...that would be brilliant!
DN is brilliant...but be warned, it get's hard (real hard!) if you go it alone.
