15 Rarest & Most Valuable Playstation 3 Games

The fifteen rarest and most valuable games on the Playstation 3 and what makes them so rare.

[Dart89]

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]

Yeah uncharted was only 200 made.

And agree on the cod ones not rare at all.

[WhiteLightning]

Never understood that stupid decision...

Even if it was like £150...I would of still bought it.

[HebrewHammer]

And I have one! Courtesy of the 2009 tournament in Rosemont, IL! Team Drake represent!

[tiffac008]

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]

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]

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]

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

[UltimateIdiot911]

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.

[sealion88]

railfan games are pretty rare are they?

[noxeven]

I so angry I didn't buy elite when I saw it randomly on the shelf and I'm glad I got hyperdimension

[J86blum]

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]

Dude i would totally trade you my gf for the uncharted 2 fortune hunter set:P jk.

[Jobesy]

I sold a rare game not too long ago, it was Aquanaughts Holiday Korean/English version. Got $90 for it on Ebay.

[AHall88]

Any chance Ar Tonelico really would get re-released?

[FAGOL]

"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.

[ljh217]

Only the Amazon one came with the pip-boy alarm. Or so the article says.

[Tuxedo_Mask]

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]

The only ones I have a regret about is Assassin's Creed II: Master Assassin's Edition and Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition.

[rezzah]

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]

But what's this worth? As I understand it only twenty were made.

[rezzah]

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

Minimum $500 my guess.

[Miiikeyyy]

U want one :3

[rezzah]

lol no, i like things like this but i don't get money easily =p

[princejb134]

is that the staff from infamous 2

[DFogz]

Do want!
Where did you get that FacelessGod?

[FacelessGod]

I won it in a caption contest.

[coryok]

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]

Very good question. I always find that odd, does it really cost that much to make more copies?

[UltimateIdiot911]

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]

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]

I feel faint over the prices of Neptunia and Ar Tonelico.

[itz_zombies]

i got the infamous 2 hero edition for $59 from gamestop 2 months ago :D

[DeadIIIRed]

I'm surprised they didn't mention the launch PS3's at all. They're already starting to go back up in value.

[DFresh]

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]

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]

I have the MK Tournament edition. The arcade stick was worth every penny.

[ssb3173]

i've got the lomited edition assasins cred 2 edition. it is acctually really cool and worth the extra money

[Mgs4isOverrated]

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]

is the Sony PSP Portable DJ MAX 3 rare yet? the one with the 1000 limited copy ever made

[DFogz]

I own half the stuff on that list :)

[capcock]

"Rare"? can the peron who wrote this please expalin the defenition of the word "rare" by himself.

[SwampCroc]

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.
