I think it is actually this demo.
http://thesims2.ea.com/about/console/demodisk_ps2.php

Only 2,500 copies released.
None of which i recieve :(
Anyone else know about this/recieve one before it was over?

As far as actually published full games go, the US release of Rez goes for ~90 sealed.

I don't believe there si a ny "rare" PS2 games. There are some harder to get games but not rare.

Yeah I don't think there are any true rare's yet either.

REZ  :laugh:


Sought after maybe , rare..... No. As it is with any proudction PS2 game IMO  ;)

I got mine for $19.99 at Toys R Us. I hear Gitaroo Man is fetching a rather hefty sum on ebay as well. picked that one up at Media Play for $9.99.

Personally i would say 2,500 copies of a game denotes a rarity.

Though it is only a demo.
I think the rarest things for the system are probably gonna be demos.

your still peeved about not getting that demo aren't you?

demo shmemo...... Who cares about demos ?   :P

I'm peeved about nmot getting alot of stuff that people who signed up after me got
LOL

@ Tyn
You might not care aout demos but some people colect specifically demos.
I think they are prety cool to have personally.

That was Cap that said that not me. I have a shit load of demos.

It's too bad I'm not a PS2 collector- life would be pretty easy. The rarest games on the system are all easily obtainable from what it looks like.

I've probably put more hours into PS2 games than any other system, although there's very few games out there for the system that I still like. I grew out of Grand Theft Auto and I burnt myself out on Gran Turismo- those were the 2 series that I played the most. Katamari would be my third most played series on the system.

I would think it would be Rule of Rose, but I might just be thinking price and not rarity. The .Hack series would put you back a couple hundred bucks alone as well though.

Nearly 10 year old thread makes me sad.

Racketboy list is 5 years out of date too.

I didn't even see the earlier dates, but that just shows this topic can stand the test of time, although I am probably thinking a few PS2 games have become more rare than they were ten years ago.

I like how someone posts something negative sounding and you automatically assumed it was Tynstar. Some things never change :p

To be fair, that was 10 years ago Crabby.

That's what I mean. Izret still complains about Tynstar being "crabby" after all this time ;)

FWIW, for PAL, there were quite a few banned and recalled games for PS1 and PS2 that had a few copies slip through.

Tintin - Destination Adventure for UK comes to mind for PS1 (banned in UK for racist portrayals, but supposedly a few were sold at Tintin stores), and there was another UK title for PS2 that I can't think of that only had something like 12 copies get sold from one store in the UK that broke street date.

As far as priciest goes, I guess that would be .hack Quarantine and/or Rule of Rose. I, fortunately, was able to purchase both for significantly cheaper than the going rate....and Rule of Rose seems to continuously climb in price.

As for rarity, hell, I don't know. My guess is that we won't really know the truly rare games (if there are any) for several years...

10 years ago Tyn and Capn were a dynamic duo on here.
I had more trouble remembering who was who back then. I also confused Hydrobond and "The Black Perl"

But I was amused too lol

Hey now,

Its not like we all have the same speech patterns or anything after all this time spent together?

Right guys?

Anyway, back to the Skylander-calculator orgy!

You could just try asking Ken (Mezmoron), as he has a complete set of NTSC/U PS2 he completed last year.

Which is absolutely incredible, given the huge assortment of games that were released for the platform. 2-2.5 times that of the NES, Genesis or SNES.

There are others with "Complete" collections, including a well-known SEALED collection.

Yeah, that one is berserk!

A complete sealed collection???

That's insane! I've been collecting PS2 now for about 8 years, but until recently, it's been very slow, and mostly just games I had specific intentions to play. Now that I'm finding CIB copies for between $2 & $3.50, I'm buying them left and right (as I find and can afford to), sans sports titles. I should probably get some of those as well.

I bought a lot of PS2 lots a couple years ago, between 80 cents and 2 dollars a piece. mostly sh*t games and sports titles but still fun to collect nonetheless. there's a few games I learned about that I never even knew existed til I started just going crazy with the PS2 buying- Total Overdose, Goosebumps Horrorland, Haven, to name a few. None of them are worth playing for more than like 15 minutes but they're unique at least and something different.

I wish I could find more PS2 titles in my area, but PS2 is pretty hard to find around here... Though I *did* find a pre-owned copy of 'Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus' at my local Wal*Mart for just $4.99. That was a pretty great purchase, I think.

So how did longbox PS1 games come, brand new? Generic shrink wrap with a hangtab like the Genesis games?

For the most part, just like most Saturn games. Shrinkwrapped with the horizontal seam, plastic hangtab slapped to the back:

cool! yeah, it amazes me how people have been able to hang onto sealed copies of ANY game for any length of time. for 99% of people, your first instinct when you buy something is to open it up, like you would anything else. I imagine a lot of those are copies of games that were in possession of store owners and they couldn't sell them?

Did they do it the same way for the cardboard boxes?

The second picture is A-Train, which was a cardboard box. The hangtabs aren't necessarily part of being NIB, as those are typically applied by the vendor after being removed from the box (in case of orientation changes). Here's the front to show the seams in the plastic:

Quoted for Kombatness

I figured you'd enjoy that.

I'd say it's between Rule of Rose or Kuon though it's always likely it's an overlooked shovelware title.

Futurama is rare right, didn't it have short print run?

I thought so too, but I am told some on here come across it frequently. I have been looking for one for ages, it seems.

I've only come across one PS2 copy of Futurama ever. Seen 4 Rule of Rose in my hunting. That's just anecdotal though. There are tons of other PS2 games I have never seen, several of which are sports titles too.

there's a futurama PS2 for sale locally, $30 canadian (about $24 USD) if anyone wants me to pick it up for them shoot me a pm :)

Fantavision sealed. Trust me on this one. My statement has nothing to do with the fact that I have a sealed Fantavision (please make me an offer on my Fantavision).

I've seen Kuon and Rule of Rose dozens of times. It's going to take some time to find out what's truly rare for PS2, not just what's in demand.

I hears the game play is amazing and rivals Silent Service in terms of quality!!
