Stupidly EXPENSIVE & Rare Playstation 2 (PS2) Games

[@TheAshevillian]

Recently hooked my PS2 back up & I am having so much fun playing through some of these games. Love collecting for the PS2!

[@JMS103]

[@jacquesdesforges1266]

TheAshevillian atm, im playin mass effect andromeda on ps4, and... disgaea 2 on ps2. your right. best console, imo

[@briancooley8777]

Ps2 was the best console of all time!

Same here. My favorite console to collect for

i am so glad my wife talked me into getting a copy of kuon years ago for only 12 bucks....

[@ryu_kazama0338]

You are so lucky in your wife

[@black.9453]

Kuon its a very expensive game but a mediocre gameplay i have but is a very regular game .

[@esmazufaireen3545]

@@black.9453 But is it only the disc/the game that can be so expensive or others?

[@waynetttttt]

Do you still have it today

[@The_RadicalOne]

Omg! I forgot about this video.

[@MikeandKatieShow]

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks for sharing your awesome PS2 collection!

[@The_RadicalOne]

MetalJesusRocks anytime bro!

[@patrickcaron6286]

I think you guys should check out Dragonball Budokai Tenkaichi 3. That game is also pretty expensive just being used!

[@andrewstephens4492]

you can get a brand new sealed copy on ebay right now for ....£11.94 from Gameseek (PAL)... love this channel but these vids just inflate prices for a few weeks

[@Zero118]

Thanks for showing these off, gives me more ps2 games to try on emulator that i otherwise would not have heard of.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

I remember preordering Meta Gear 3: Subsistence LE and when it came out, the sales associate tried to tell me that they never got it. I persisted and questioned him. He caved in and pulled one from that back that happened to be opened. They only got in ONE copy and it was my preorder copy that they tried to take for themselves. Lol! Just one of the many interesting stories of my EBGames/GameStop experiences.

[@treearchibald7573]

makes sense. kbToys sold me my ps2 3 weeks early in Memphis in the year 2000

[@JackMeyHoffer562]

What a POS employee

[@NYCJoeBlack]

Rick H - I could not believe it! I had my receipt and I just kept pushing the issue stating that the game/documentary arrived and I am here to pick it up. I was extremely upset that my box had been opened already, but was happy to pick it up. He had his head down during the whole transaction, I’ll never forget. That package was something you had to preorder to get, so if you missed out, you’d have to go on eBay or hope someone sold it to stores like GameStop or a retro store. I am proud of myself for standing my ground as I am not always that type of person, but I guess the fear of missing out factored and contributed to me being VERY persistent. I still have my copy in my collection till this day. 👍🏿

[@QFilmz]

NYCJoeBlack Metal Gear solid 3 subsistence was very difficult to get hold of back then , I remember it had a red front cover , the online was excellent on that , it was the first online game I ever played.. , I don’t doubt your story of the GameStop employee trying to take your copy , when it came to the store & they had it in there hand they must have realised they can’t get another copy so they tried to take yours

[@NYCJoeBlack]

Q - Possibly. I made it a point to preorder the game as it was stated before the release that the package would be very limited. Nowadays, I mostly shop for games at Retro Stores unless a game I really want is exclusive to a specific retailer and yeah, I strongly prefer physical copies of games.

[@AprilsMoon92]

I remember getting Kuon along time ago for like $8 it's crazy how much it's worth now lol

[@MadForHatters]

My jaw dropped when I realized I have a handful of these. Blood Will Tell, Haunting Ground, and Kuon sat on the shelves forever; I got them on clearance. ROR was a day 1 pre-order. I never saw those price hikes coming. I really wished I'd bought multiple copies.

[@StefanPiano]

Hey Metal Jesus, i really enjoy your videos but you forgot to mention Reggie's favorite game Haunting Ground in your price list. :)

[@giovannyd9349]

Love the channel, yes I think a part 2 needs to be done. You guys always have great info for gaming, and I like that.

[@odeghy]

If anyone was wondering, Haunting Ground is pretty cheap in the UK and also has the option to boot up in NTSC 60Hz. So, if you're in the US maybe it's worth importing it. On Amazon UK it's only £14.99 right now, but I bought mine almost a year ago for around £10 off eBay.

[@coflow9719]

wow what a great tip thanks man.

[@AidanBarnard]

Great tip! Just ordered mine. Was it more popular in UK?

[@odeghy]

I honestly have no idea. I can't find anything online and I can only assume more copies were made. I doubt it really impacted HG much, but maybe the fact the PS3 didn't launch in Europe until 2007 had something to do with it? Probably not, but who knows.

[@hollywood21639]

Odeghy not true. it doesn't boot in ntsc format. I tried it

[@odeghy]

hollywood21639 When you boot up the game it will ask if you want to play in PAL 50Hz, NTSC 60Hz, or 480p progressive scan. If you're importing the game then you already need to have a PS2 which can play imports.

[@youngdefiant]

It's always cool when Reggie is on, really chill dude.

Some of these games aren't expensive here in Europe. And it is weird seeing American PS2 Black boxes. In Europe it is Blue.

[@Space-Holiday]

I'm from the UK and am happy there was no stress to get Haunting Ground, I think I got it for £10

[@DarthPhillius]

I still say the best thing I ever did was install a DMS4 Pro Modchip to my PS2 for importing. PS2 has an unmatched library of classic games and this great list just scratches the surface. Loved these picks. Excellent choices Reggie!

[@thejuggler268]

In the Pal region is Raiden 3, Tengai, Homura, .Hack series, Kings field 4, La Pucelle Tactics pretty expensive. Haunting Ground is cheap here

[@sudacagamer]

2 years later and haunting ground is still a cheap game in Europe, incredible

[@joshuaoswald2577]

Loved the video. Makes me feel like I got a great deal on a game or hang my head in shame on a game I sold for cheap years ago. You should definitely make a part two or do a version of this for the GameCube

[@Boojakascha]

the .hack games are pricey too. Especially the NTSC exclusives.

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

Boojakascha I saw a .hack 3 game for about 15 bucks or something

[@MikeOfMichigan]

Yeah, it's ridiculous.

[@LynnMooney]

I pray that .Hack Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, and Quarantine can re release on PS4 or next gen. Like .hack//G.U. Last Recode did for PS4. 🤞 Please.

[@dhollsynthmusic]

Funnily enough experiencing horror in VR with high-end modern titles like Half-Life Alyx etc has given me a renewed appreciation for early-00's console horror...back then they put just as much care & passion into creating atmosphere. I've been doing research and settled on a trio of sequels: Forbidden Siren 2 & Silent Hill 2 on the PS2, and Project Zero II Director's Cut on the Xbox (playable on the 360) which has a few extras over the PS2 version. As you can imagine these three cost me an arm and a leg! But first impressions are damn fine. Gonna alternate between them, playing on a 2x3m projector screen with big sound system.

[@cleitonfelipe2092]

Free McBoot, Free HDD boot, Free DVD Boot, PCSX2, jailbroken PS3, a modchip, and probably others I don't know about. Point being there are many ways to play games from other regions on your PS2, PS3, or in emulators.

[@zoozbuh]

Subsistence-Noun-the action or fact of maintaining or supporting oneself at a minimum level

Always love MJR and Reggie videos. Always good times.

[@Iroquois2688]

"Subsistence" is a real word. I know because I grew up poor.

[@russwaddel08]

Jackson Jack subsistence farming. Duh.

[@stratohealing]

I know subsistence is a french word and it pretty much wich means sustenance. Don't know if it actualy exist in the english langage.

[@supervillain3213]

Of course it exists in the english language, please just use google.

[@LizardGenes]

Yep, subsistence farming: crops grown purely to feed the farmer and their family, analogous to Snake's eating of food purely to support his own survival in MGS3.

[@pigs18]

Yes, subsistence means maintaining a minimal level of survival or production with no allowance for trade. In this case, it likely refers the alternate definition, maintaining the status quo.

[@GarlashZephyr]

Make this a series for every console! I'd love to see a playstation 1 version, with Reggie of course!

[@AyuCrazy]

love my ps2 so much, it's turning 18years this year and it's still working, and I've gone to buy a PS3 yet

[@papagaming6525]

What an amazing selection! Reggie you are great! Best regards from a big fan from France. I will watch the part 2!

[@FullContactGames]

90% of metal Jesus and reggies conversations: Jesus "so what have u got next reggie?" Reggie "oh this is super ultra Yokohama fire blade akwbdidodhajshjefr of the starlight renegade 7" I can't say I've ever seen him bring a game up in one of these videos that doesn't originate from Japan lol

[@shuriken6688]

Haunting Ground is a lil cheesy, but it's a great horror game that any PS2 owner should give a try. You form a bond with the canine, and you start worrying about its life, too. I found the dog gameplay interesting, too, you can use your gamepad to give it commands. Depending on how you treat it, it will refuse to follow your orders. So if you decide to be a horrible master, be prepared to suffer the consequences in the moments where you desperately need the dog's assistance.

[@RetroGamingManiac]

Great video and what an awesome ps2 collection! Blood will tell looks really fun

[@oediCatman]

Blood Will Tell is amazing and a great story.

[@largolagrande]

Haunting Ground is still very afordable in Europe. Rule of Rose was always very expensive due to his history.. especially in Europe. It got banned so hard. Many of these other games were damn cheap... like Kuon, Blood will Tell, Michigan Report, Dragon Blaze... no one cared about them a few years ago.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

LargoLaGrande - I foolishly sold off Rule of Rose and I have seen it for more than $275. Lol!

[@danielbogota5457]

I picked up Haunting Ground in pristine condition for as little as a £5 and there's loads on Ebay too. It doesn't seem as rare as they're making out in this video. The Project Zero games seem more rare and more expensive.

[@gowary]

Oh man, the memories from blood will tell. If memory serves me correctly, the story is written by the same person who wrote the manga astro boy. I was much younger at the time but the beggining got to me because of the "baby's will to survive", much feelings for Hyakimaru and the great adventure of the game.

I've just started collecting for ps2 and I picked up Suikoden 3, 4 and 5 for around 80 bucks. I picked them up completely on a whim having never heard of it before and I looked them up and found out suikoden 5 alone is worth 50-80 dollars. I just wanted to share this story with you as my appreciation for your channel for solidifying my decision to collect.

[@JW29967]

Great video! One idea I've had is that you should totally do a prediction episode where you estimate what games you think will get expensive or highly collectable within the next few years! Just an idea :)

[@wizzgamer]

Now even more expensive lol

[@sudacagamer]

go check blood will tell now

[@ryanramsey7105]

Love the video. Very Interested in the topic, so many games that I traded in back when i kid for pennies now worth more then when i bought them.

[@TG_Sponge]

Expensive and rare? Ohh nooooo. That means I'll never get them.

[@TheLastLineLive]

SpongeMattb you can mod a ps2 and get a harddrvie for it, let it RIP with free mcboot.

[@kflemonice]

downphoenix It's about owning the games, not playing them. Why? Well... cuz collectors

[@Walamonga1313]

downphoenix Or just play them on a PC with an emulator

[@jngx80]

I have about 200-300 PS2 games and plan to collect again. It's very satisfying and I enjoy looking at the cover art; like when I look at Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Maximo, Jak cases I am instantly reminded of the good times I had playing them. And I'm so glad there's the PS2 emulator; it guarantees that even if all 3 of my PS2s die (I have a hard drive and mcboot in all of them) I can still play the games. I think I will only use the PS2 for the eyetoy games and guncon2 games.

[@Sparkykelly1]

Always great having Reggie over. I hope you are feeding him.

[@DURRRRHURRRR]

And even more stupidly EXPENSIVE after this video!

[@xTHETRAINx]

[@Gameplayer-vm5ml]

[@thejuggler268]

Gameplayer 119 most of them are Just not cheap, Maybe haunting ground

[@Gameplayer-vm5ml]

The Juggler Still, why do you think they got some European games with the blue cases? Because they are cheaper over there. Sure, some games aren't cheapnin Europe, but aren't expensive.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Too bad your nephew lost that Volleyball, that makes all the value of that LE Reggie ;) That was a good episode guys.

I’m so glad that they featured Bully in here. My favorite game of ALL time.

KOF2002UM is rare? Thank god it's available digitally cause that game is my least favorite KOF not worth any price

[@CykaBlyatAlex]

Is it the version you don't like or is 2002 your least favorite KOF

[@ForeRunnerODST]

I haven't played vanilla 2002 so I'll say it's just 2002UM I don't like. Vanilla 2002 has some great stages while 2002UM has boring stage, music, and pretty meh gameplay

[@5Pixeloficial]

They're wrong. KOF2k2UM isn't expensive. Expensive is "KOF2K2UM Tougeki Version", the release for a tournament in Japan with rebalance and correction of some glitchs and bugs.

[@residentevilclone]

I remember Kuon being a straight Resident Evil clone. Fixed cameras, tank controls, jump scares, the works.

[@romanromero473]

I think reggie is missing the point... It does not matter if hes not trying to make those games more expensive. They will become now because of videos like this that give them more exposure. Come on Reggie don't be so naive you know whats going to happen.

[@Ash113Lynx]

I actually own Blood Will Tell! Back when Gamestop was starting to phase out PS2 games, I massively lucked out and found this one, with box and manual, for under $10. I'm also slightly obsessed with Osamu Tezuka, so it's more surprising I didn't have this game earlier than I did. I bought Astro Boy: Omega Factor around when it came out too. The platforming in BWT is horrible (thankfully there's not a ton of it that requires any precision), but all the bosses are fun. And for having 48 bosses, they actually all feel unique (you only need to do all 48 for the true ending though), and even the ones that are palette swaps of others will at least attack differently and be in different styled arenas, it's an excellent low budget way to keep 48 bosses fresh.

[@jngx80]

I got it at gamestop as well. I loved shopping for games that received mediocre and okay scores. I think I've beaten more okay games than outstanding games. And being a comic book fan back then I knew I had to own Blood Will Tell - it's got a unique story. I never picked up Astro Boy but I did play the demo and didn't think it was bad. I'm thinking about collecting PS2 games again and plan to buy it.

[@Ash113Lynx]

Did you play the PS2 Astro Boy or the GBA Astro Boy? Because they were made by two very different companies with two very different games resulting. The GBA isn't just a poor rehash of the console version, as was common in the day, but an amazing beat 'em up by Treasure and one of their finest games and one of the best games on the GBA. The PS2 game was honestly a joke (and it was made by Sonic Team)

[@BigGanja0]

Collecting videogames used to be fun but it has become frustrating no thanks to self proclaimed KZbin celebrities... It honestly makes me laugh how these people that talk about retro communities within KZbin channels with collections of games claim to not influence the market and yet you guys talk about 'sought after' games that are in a video named most expensive PS2 games... Talk about double standards... You guys are killing it... ...and not in a good way !

[@ArmyGreensTanBoots]

BigGanja0 Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

[@TheZeroSbr]

Not really. MJR could always just do reviews of really obscure games. Alternatively, the collectors could just get used to things getting harder to find. Prices will get jacked up sooner or later anyways, and everyone else who wants a game has just as much of a right to own it as you do, so long as they can pony up the cash for it.

[@BigGanja0]

TheZeroSbr like I say I'm done with collecting games... First and foremost I am a gamer and so it is more important for me to actually play the games I have than to collect them all like they are Pokémon or something. All I am going to say is when I 'collected' games, it was hit and miss... luck played a part and sometimes you just had to guess what you were getting into... These were some of the things that were fun and exciting about this back then... fast forward 20 years we have youtube, click baity thumbnails, titles like rare and most expensive video games... I never gave a shit how expensive a game is or what it's worth... for me, like I say I care about playing the games themselves and enjoying them first and foremost... for me it's all about that. I fail to see why people try to collect every game and make a KZbin 'community' channel about these collections of games and keeping them stored away, stopping somebody else the chance to play / own that game while talking some shit on some videos and creating hype for games which are not even in print anymore. . . Does that money goto the developers...? Honestly, because of people wanting celebrity status and posting up sources of information out there like this one... it has already given rise the notorious scalper and as more and more channels put up content like this it will only serve to educate people who want expensive games which in turn will make the practice of scalping even more popular looking into the future, simply because people 'collect'.

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

it isn't them. it is reseller speculators ala the housing crash of 2009 in the stock market who bet on mortgages (mortgage backed securities). once the fad dies, market prices will come back to normal. this was the same for beanie babies or whatever fad there was that brought in all sorts of hustlers.

skin19head69 Go on. List more overrated games. Uncharted series - decent at best, poor and unoriginal mechanically. Horizon Zero Dawn - decent at best, poor and unoriginal mechanically. Tomb Raider 2013 - dumbed down TR game

Don't know if anyone commented on it, but I'm loving Reggie's throwback Blockbuster lanyard.

Only game I have in this video is Ar Tonelico II, and I must say it’s pretty good :) Nice video guys !

Dang Reggie! I've been trying to get Ibara in my collection for forever!! I'm a huge Cave Shmup fan but that game is to rich for my blood. ;) Great vid guys, keep up the great work!
