Is the greatest hits version of SH2 different in some way? I got myself a black label copy in perfect condition for $25 including tax last year.
>>
>>333534361
It's supposedly the best version of SH2
>>
>>333534361
It's just to show its sold over a million copies I'm pretty sure
>>
>>333534361
>>333534849
They're exactly the same, it's just the black label is the original release and red label is the re-release after hitting some arbitrary sale count.

If you're going to buy second-hand used and both red and black label are the same price, grab the black label. Otherwise it doesn't matter at all.
>>
>>333535124
Well I know that much. The reason I asked is because the reprinted red label versions sometimes have fixed bugs/glitches or other things. I figured there was something like that because those prices are damn ridiculous.
>>
>>333535124
You are absolutely wrong. The Greatest Hits version of Silent Hill 2 includes the extra content from the Xbox port.
>>
>>333535547
Okay. Thank you for telling me. I've never played the games before so I just rule-of-thumbed it. That's typically what I do whenever I go and buy second-hand games.

It's just the original print of the game not the second release with greatest hits, and as for the price, they know some faggot with mommy and daddy's money will buy it

Hello underage
>>
>>333535996
Probably because it was shit (in comparison to the original) and barely sold for a console that most ignored by consumers for a DVD/Video Game playing gimmick instead.
>>
Although not really a ripoff, Bayo 2 with bayo 1 are now 70+ bucks for used copies. I rented it and never thought of buying it. Now that I want to replay it and actually buy it, I find out that the two disc version is out of print and the new print only has bayo 2, with bayo 1 being digital only. I regret that I didn't just buy it when it was on sale for 30 bucks, but then again, I didn't even know it went on sale for that much.

Fuck getting digital also. Nintendo is horrible with that shit.

>ITT: Autistic manchildren struggle to understand supply and demand

If the games really are overpriced, they simply won't sell. If the seller isn't willing to lower the price in order to make a sale, the product is evidently worth more to him than to potential buyers. He keeps his product, the buyers keep their money.

The fallout collectors watches can be put up for some stupid crazy prices

Red/Green greatest hits are awful looking. When looking for games I prefer to buy the black label, even if it means paying a bit more, however the prices in that picture are ridiculous.

Green looks great, it all depends on the game cover.

Most of Nintendo's look awful.

Someone post Digimon world ps1 from Amazon.

Jesus.

I thought the one I bought for $60 was bad. Just the disc in a jewel case with no manual, but even that was a ridiculous price.

Square Enix wanted something like $235. WTF?!?! That was far more than manufacturing could cost. The LE collectors basically padded final sales.
