EVERY PS2 Game Worth $100+ In 2024

[@LightFykki]

If only we knew how the prices of these games would change starting from 2020... It is ridiculous how many of these games got so expensive, and while I can understand the hype and nostalgia coming back during the lockdown when people had more time to look upon and play these games, they prices are still continuing to rice, which is quite annoying.

100%@@PlanetsSameAsStars

[@tr1bes]

I have a little foresight in the mid 90s about RPG that it would increase in prices. The only thing that hold me back is $$$. By early 2010, I begin to collect horror games. Kuon which i bought was just $30 at Amazon. Echo night and other horror games were very cheap back then. This time, i have $$$ to purchase. And so I try to purchase RPG that were less than $100 as well. Almost all of Pete's mentioned, I do have.

[@williamcarswell3012]

Here's a fun question how expensive do you think they're going to be in 5 years-10years-20years they're not going to stay at this price in 10 years people will be saying the same things they're saying now

[@LightFykki]

@@williamcarswell3012 A fun and interesting question indeed. One problem with physical media is their longevity. They cannot work forever, especially disks. In fact, many media have already started breaking down. In the coming decades that process will exponentially accelerate, considering that most of those hardware have been produced around a similar time. That, coupled with the fact that the materials in general get worn down, especially if they are being sold so often and change hands, and you get less available products to be, especially in good and crisp CIB package. Even if the demand lessens, as long as it follows this trend of product availability, the prices will not drop as well. But these things are difficult to predict, we need to wait and see.

[@philiphanan1493]

I’m totally kicking myself for selling for selling my $1.99 copy of Fight For NY and $9.99 copy of DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for next to nothing.

[@Tony-914]

You an can me an I’ll kick you. I gave away a large Tupperware full of games from ps1 to ps2 about 6 years ago. A easy 1500 lost. I did find my silent hill an memory cards though. Went shopping on Facebook an eBay to try an redeem myself.

Would love to see a series of this Pete, it was very interesting. Seeing your breakdowns of other consoles and the games would be dope!

[@GungraveFreak]

Crazy going through these now as I always remember seeing lists of the "TOP 10 MOST EXPENSIVE PS2 GAMES" back in the early 2010s having games being mostly in the $60-80 ranges.

[@TheUltimateMarioFan]

I completed Blood Will Tell 100% and then sold it for $300. Made $260 profit. Totally worth it.

[@JohnDoe-kp3tf]

Love your videos Pete I must say! I started watching you in the early days of KZbin and you were the first gaming KZbinr I watched. Awesome to see you still putting up content much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@veliquence]

the Dragon Ball Z trilogy isnt one disc its just a box set with a copy of each game, what you're paying for is the card box slip cover the three cases go in.

[@PeteDorr]

Thanks for clarifying

[@Semikami]

I could listen to Pete talk about old games forever. Once I figure out eBay, I should probably sell my sealed (PAL) copy of God Hand, as the price is already much higher than I paid for it, and I think I might prefer having an opened JP copy that I can play. And the soundtrack it comes with! Classic Masafumi Takada.

I wisely grabbed a complete copy of Haunting Ground for around $80 on EBay about 8 years ago. Had no idea these games would go up so much in price, or I woulda bought other ones also. Regret not getting Rule of Rose when it was like $100-150.

[@mplsgamer999]

I grabbed a copy of silent hill 3 complete for 90$ just 3 years ago

[@TheDeniedhopedrummer]

Loving all the videos lately! Keep it up.

[@jeffmacknz]

I only recommend that when you make videos like this always work from cheapest to most expensive. It's more climactic that way. I could be wrong but I think my series of videos about 10 years ago, focused on a Kuon hidden at a Half Price Books to take advantage of a 50% sale....was the first youtube video highlighting this rare title and it's value at the time.

You aren’t crazy about Gitaroo Man, that’s how i got my copy was during the re-release. I vividly remember them being new at GameStop when i was trying to get it.

[@PeteDorr]

Thanks for confirming. Sometimes it felt like some kinda weird fever dream it was so long ago

[@WVRLORD]

I had hundreds of games with my PlayStation 2 and I sold it all bundled for 150$ when I was like 16… I had a lot of these games in that collection, one of the worst mistakes I’ve made lol. Worst losses for me were all the Budokai Tenkaiichi, Metal Gear solid collectors editions, Final fantasy and silent hill games.

[@ChrisMeadows92]

I sold my entire retro collection for $600 back in 2014. I feel your pain.

[@heatherfryling4868]

Love your price and gameplay insights! So helpful for someone weighing the pros and cons of buying expensive games to play.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Don't. Go online and download the game, play on your PC for free

[@VetoShizu]

I like to go back and look at prices just for fun, but I'm glad my friend convinced me to buy the Xenosaga and Shadow Hearts games around 2015. I don't think I can bring myself to pay more than $100 for a PS2 game even if I really wanted to play it. I still remember I managed to get Xenosaga 1 and 2 for about $16 and the only reason that's memorable for me is cause Xenosaga 2 was ten cents cheaper than Xenosaga 1. Xenoaga 3 did cost me about $57 but I won it from an ebay bid, totally worth it seeing the prices it go for now lol. I got all Shadow Hearts games for less than $30 too so thank goodness I got them when I did.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

You shouldn't bring yourself to spend more than 20-30 on a PS2 game

[@thechief237]

I'd love to see you do this for Nintendo DS games! Great video, man.

[@SolidSnake684]

I love these kinds of videos! Perfect thing to watch as I'm winding down at night before bed.

[@theredeft5319]

I remember like 10 years ago at a convention asking why Silent hill a ps1 game cost $60 and passing up buying it(not that I had a ton of money back then) I thought it was ridiculous to pay more for an old used game than a brand new modern one. Now I’m kicking myself for not getting it. The problem is at this point people who want ps2 games and games of that era are now adults with actual jobs and so now that people have money the price goes up as nostalgia demand increases. Not only that but because of the internet anyone can look up the price of something and so you are unlikely to find good deals on games anymore. I was shocked to see so many games, even games with greatest hits versions costing so much all of a sudden.

[@Dimensionaut_]

2:10 it's because your chart is showing "zoom all" instead of zoom 1 year to show the outliers. if zoomed out it will just display averages

[@Jliving8008]

Love these videos. Interesting to see the prices on PS2 games. Thank goodness I bought silent hill games when they were cheap. I have been watching rule of rose for the last year to 2.

[@Friesnchip]

Excited to hear you're trying out Steambot Chronicles for the first time soon. It's my favorite game, as you've heard many times over the years. Don't know how it'll hold up in the modern era to a new player, but I think you'll enjoy it, regardless.

[@tr1bes]

I didn't realized that Xenosaga 3 has 2 variations. So I have to check. I have the hologram lint version. I have never bought any ps2 games over $100.

[@PeteDorr]

Congrats, it’s really rare! I love lenticular effects, wish games still used it frequently for their boxes

[@hapero597]

How about a video about some PAL games that were never released in the US like Michigan: Report from Hell , Zombie Hunters 1 & 2 and Demolition Girl and possibly comparing some of the PAL stuff to US stuff? Japanese PS2 would be really interesting too! Thanks for these videos, absolutely love them.

[@pixxellie]

this is suuuuuch a good idea for a video. love it.

[@MrWrightWay]

So Shrek the Third GH IS on of the most difficult greatest hits PS2 games to find complete. It was a very low print run at the end of the ps2 life span. I made a video on this as im trying to get EVERY PLAYSTATION GH GAME 1-4 and psp. Now if you can find this game locally you'll pay less that $10 but on line this is normal.

[@Justinmeatybonds]

I remember that gitaroo man re-release! So glad you brought that up because I never heard anyone mention it. Bought it on my birthday and was so confused when I saw a sealed copy at my local gamestop.

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

I own a bunch of these games and Blood Will Tell along with Xenosaga 3 are definitely my favorites, such good games

[@ChrisMeadows92]

Def Jam: Fight for NY is a game you'll like for its cheese, but love for its mechanics. Easily my favorite fighting system of all time. Nothing like it before or since. It's so addictive and satisfying, especially once you beat the learning curve. A fight can literally be won in a single punch, it's all about timing and skill. Think Bushido Blade's concept planted into a Yuke's WWE vs. SmackDown game with a 50 Cent: Bulletproof theme slapped onto it. It's an incredible brawler. Please don't sleep on it.

[@capcomfan82]

Very cool video. Your one of the only guys who makes these types of videos, very informative.

[@IceKoldKilla]

I want to add that apparently Fortnite will include a mode made by Harmonix which is like Rock Band and will allow the ability to use old peripherals. Yep. So if thats the case, people will be buying the peripherals or at least the compatible ones.

[@rustyshackleferd22]

[@foodchaser716]

I honestly love Pete he seems so chill.

[@TevorTheThird]

Ooh, I actually have one of the pricier ones it seems. Well the bottom-ish of the expensive ones anyways. I wonder what happened for Blood Will Tell to spike so much compared to a lot of other similarly unknown games? I got that just off Amazon 10-15ish years ago for like $20 bucks. Canadian bucks too. Those are worth less than some. I think it was a sealed copy too but I honestly can't remember for sure. Decent game. I'd never heard of it until randomly someone online was talking about how a PS2 game based on Osamu Tezuka's Dororo got put out under some random name and no one seemed to notice or care. Being a huge dork for Tezuka I immediately hoped online and, sure enough, super easily got a copy for cheap. Real shame that people have to always get so weird about stuff like this. It was nice to be able to just, you know, but an old videogame for a reasonable price. It's not like Blood Will Tell is some remarkable treasure. A hidden gem sure, a historical curiosity for folk like me that know the lineage of the IP, but it's certainly not worth 500 bucks. Not simply due to scarcity anyways.

[@PeteDorr]

Just one of the harder to find of the bunch and it happens to be pretty good too.

[@fakealias]

I almost had a heart attack at the end when you accidentally said silent hill thinking there was some Silent Hill game I’ve magically never heard of

[@shadwtech8246]

I think I paid $90 for dbz bt3 on ps2 a few years ago. Never letting this game go again lol. But I have 2 copies of it, one for ps2 and the other for wii. For me, I’d rather play on ps2 only because on the wii version, for some reason, you can’t regular ascend/descend, only charge ascend/descend. If you’re a pro at bt3 you can utilize the regular ascend/descend to open your opponent up for combos. Can’t be done in the charged one. Sure, I can make do without that functionality, but I’ve learned to incorporate that into combat so I’d just rather play on ps2 strictly for that reason

This reminds me of that scene in Back to the Future Part II when Future Biff gives his past self a record book of every College Bowl Champion, and convincing him to bet on every winning team in the future to get rich. These gamers who preserve and resell these games have the same energy. It seems like the games that we own that will gain value is a matter of luck, and it’s a hard thing to predict.

[@bananonymouslastname5693]

People who enjoy PS2 should be keeping an eye on The Red Star and Under the Skin. Both are very uncommon. The Red Star is one of the very best action games on the system and fantastic co-op, as well as being based on a cult comic. Under the Skin is not only unique and strange, but one day people will learn about its ties to Resident Evil, and it'll probably get more attention.

What does it mean if something is "graded"

[@CanineGaming77]

So if you grade a game you send it in to a company to get it officially valued on its condition. Usually they score on a 1-10 scale. It's really common in trading cards but people started doing it with games as well. A game with a high grade will sell at a higher price than an ungraded game
