Someone traded in a used copy today at the gamestop I work at. I tried to talk the guy out of it, telling him he was getting rid of a great game. Trade in value on the game was $20.00. We are gonna re-sell it for 70.00. (by the way it is for the PS2)

I still don't understand why people trade in games.....it's crazy how much you pay for a game to get on the regular maybe 8-10 bucks for a game.....
I guess they're getting rid of it in anticipation of the HD remix? Just trying to justify a dumb action I guess...

Easily one of the best fighting games ever made. Thats sad but he must have been desparate for drug money. You can't argue with that kind of mind.

Shame he didn't have any patience. He could've made a killing on eBay.

Just the same old game which I already have on ps2. |

Yeah, I doubt he even knew the value of it if he was trading it in at GS for 20 bucks. Probably thought "hey this game is old, I need 360 games and it's coming out on XBLA anyways". And eBay is full of scam artists that don't buy when they win auctions. And it involves going to a post office. I guess this guy just didn't want to be taken for a ride.  |

Just the same old game which I already have on ps2. It will have an option for how the graphics lookThis doesnt surprise me at all. Usually when a game gets re-released, people start selling the first kind thinking its the best time to sell before it loses value. I remember when Kingdom Hearts for the GBA was hard to find, but now they're available all over the place since people traded it in for the PS2 version. |

A used game store in my neighborhood has a copy of it for both the Xbox and PS2. The PS2 one is selling used for $149. I'm not kidding.

It's either Dreamcast or nothin'. Both FTW. But I agree, Dreamcast is a beast for great fighting games. |
