So that's where the "rare" games are coming from!

I would if I had a ps2. My cheapness kept me from ever getting one and since the 'new pricedrop' never realized in Europe I probably won't.

A representative spokesperson has said that they decided to unload a sizeable amount of inventory to Gamestop at a bulk price. However since Gamestop sells used copies of these games at a higher price they’ve taken the liberty of unsealing and selling the brand new game as a used copy.

No wonder copies of Rhapsody were turning up in Gamestop's used PS1 bin recently, in perfect shape no less.

If you are collecting games then you have no reason to sell them, so the price doesnt matter. Anyone who buys games to profit is retarded, and anybody who thinks theyre a collector because they have Rez and Radiant Silvergun is even more retarded.

Quoted for truth. Glad to have you back, diffx.

Those re-prints are a brillant idea !!

However I must share some of your comments. Selling REZ reprint for $49 and saying you save $40 on the retail price is a bit overboard. Re-printing games is one thing, making large margins (if this is the case) because of the actual market, I do not agree. I never collected game for their value but to play them, so I'm 100% for it. But all of this will only apply to CD games I guess, I doubt anyone will get anywhere near producing cartridge re-prints though :)

Producing cartridge costs more than CDs, so cartridge games you wont see..only bootlegs.

Telegames did reprints of Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800 games. They also made a Colecovision clone and several reprints of the carts as well. They've just recently stopped production.

Very cool, and they even do titles like Rez and TG-16 Cosmic Fantasy? Awesome. A company whose sole purpose is to make money by detsroying ebay gougers! I like. A lot. Here's hoping they do some Saturn and more TG-16 titles.

Probably due to costs.

This is a great idea. Too bad they won't reprint imports. I bet they'll do a Panzer Dragoon Saga reprint.

Still looking for Rez and Guitaroo Man.

I would be all for reprints of Valkyrie Profile, Radiant Silvergun, and Panzer Dragoon Saga. I also think a reprint of Castlevania: SotN should be in order.
