The Most Expensive Game You Ever Bought?

[Sun Flash]

I paid £70 for the collectors edition of GTA IV, metal box, duffle bag and all, which is roughly $110/?80 , other than that, just the average £40/$65/?45.

If DLC counts, then Rock Band 3, I have over 600 songs for it. If not than the Collectors edition of Starcraft 2 for $99.

 

[Don't taze me bro]

I paid $178 (Au) for Super Mario Allstars on the SNES back in 1993. I still have the game, and original box (in excellent condition) to remind me how much I paid. Looking back, I also appear to have paid $129 (Au) for Final Fight.

Suikoden II for $99 on ebay

 

[CoL0sS]

Red Dead Redemption. Around $100 US.

 

[GavmatexD]

$80 on a sealed copy of Grim Fandango. Twas' totally worth it.

Grim Fandango is the best ms-dos game of all time and my most expensive game would be Fallout 3 Game of the year £50

 

[MetalDooley]

Turok for the N64.It cost IR£70 which is pretty expensive considering most games cost around IR£50 at the time

Or else Animal Crossing for the Gamecube.I imported it from the U.S meaning I also had to buy a Freeloader to play it so between the game,freeloader,shipping costs and exchange rates it cost me around ?100

 

[Demodeus]

60? for Starcraft 2 (or was it 50 I dont remember)
If you count money spent on ingame stuff then Granado Espada with around 300? (I know a guy who spent like 18 grands on it tho lol)

San Andreas. Pre Ordered it at full price, then that copy didnt work on PS2, so fixed up my Ps2, then that copy broke so I bought another, then I moved between disk regions so I bought another new PS2 copy, then I got an xbox 360 and downloaded it.

All in all, about $195

I've never spent all that much on a game, I'd guess the Morrowind Collector's Edition (which was $60 or $70).

 

[solemnwar]

Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2
I made the mistake of ordering it through amazon.COM instead of amazon.CA, so they slapped import fees on top of the shipping fees.
I am an idiot.
I am not even going to mention how much that cost me. You would all weep.

$80 on a sealed copy of Grim Fandango. Twas' totally worth it.

Can I buy it off you? I have an old pop tart and some lint.

I bought the Test Cartridge for the game Silk Worm for the NES. Back in the day they only made one cart to beta test the games prior to their release and I have the one and only of said cartridge for the game Silk Worm. It cost me $300. My Black Tiger arcade machine is a close second at $275.

Technically it was the Special Edition Modern Warfare 2 with the console. I needed to get a new xbox after my old one red ringed, and that 250 gig hard drive was too much to pass up. I think it cost me $400, and it was well worth it. Maybe not the game itself, but the console definitley.

If that doesn't count, then the SE of Halo:Reach for $80 bucks.

If console bundles count... $800.00 for a lightning edition (FF13) PS3

If not i think it was $220.00 for Halo:Reach Legendary Edition. maybe more.

Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2
I made the mistake of ordering it through amazon.COM instead of amazon.CA, so they slapped import fees on top of the shipping fees.

Can't have been that bad.

I paied over $200.00 for a game.

Well, living in Israel i've had to pay through the nose for games. Gaming shops here really take advantage of the fact that we are basically isolated and charge the equivalent of around 100 USD for new console games. I know that many other countries such as Australia have this problem, but hopefully with the growing popularity of digital stores it will be solved. These days I order my games from the UK or buy them on Steam.

 

[e2density]

Starcraft 2, $60.

 

[timeadept]

Bad Company 2 wasn't worth the 60$ i payed for it. I didn't play it nearly as much as other multilayer games, but i've been getting back into it recently so we'll see...

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

More than likely it was either Burning Crusade or Warhammer Online special edition. The art books totally made the extra cash worth it to me.

 

[fenderstrat]

heavy rain, the usual 110 aud.

How about we do this backwards, kay? Forget the name of the game, but I remember it has this absolutly massive controller and is about mechs. Was retailing used at Gamestop for around $200.00 and I got it for $17.00 at a garage sale, controller included.

Steel Battalion, I think. It was this controller, right?

Yep, I am pretty sure that is what it looked like. I sold it a while ago for a good sum of cash.

Just like Antiques Roadshow for gamer gear. Awesome.
