What's The Most You've Paid For A Game?

[wraggster]

Time to Tell Us Dammit, no make that, TELL US DAMMIT. Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know ****tons about us — more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob — and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban your ass. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion. Who knows! Not I, not I.

Question: What's the most you've shelled out for a game?

[firemaster#1]

MGS4 Limited Edition 85.00+tax=92.50

[ICE]

Hmm I think it was around $100. It was Perfect Dark and the expansion pack for n64. Totally worth it.

[Brainy142]

$60 for a game

(However now I only buy if it's around $20)

[irishwhip]

£147 for mario kart 64 with the two tone controller.
yes, i felt robbed.
but i know people who owned neogeos, so that made me feel a bit better.

[Shadowblind]

$85 for Special Edition Tales of Vesperia, with shipping included. Worth every cent.

[glenmcfar]

£70 for Street Fighter II: Turbo on import. Then another £20 for the new Universal Adapter after finding that all the old ones made the cartridge reset every five minutes.

Glen.

[edit: for the SNES]

[bumfacekilla]

£120 for King of Fighters '99 on Neo Geo AES, but I know people who have spent more...

[mike_jmg]

Around 80 bucks on Killer Instinct Gold for the N64, worth every cent

[gelon]

83.84€ (13950 pesetas)

Street Fighter Alpha 2, probably the most expensive SNES standar game (not rare japanese game)

[gutbub]

Well, I can't recall paying a high amount for a game, but I do remember one time my brother did. He bought my older brother True Crime: New York City for Christmas, the collectors edition. It cost him $70 I think. The game sucked so bad, that literally one week later, I saw the same exact game, new, at Gamestop for $20. Rubbed it in y brother's face for weeks.

[livnbob]

$5000 and counting. Well, just 100 hundred for the game, but I was content to live with a lame PC until I found out Bethesda was making Fallout 3. Since then I've been building the ultimate system for it, and my obsession is growing faster than my computer. I could easily add another 1000 to its final cost, before the 28th, and much more after.

[WhizzBang]

I paid £50 for Formula 1 97 (Playstation 1) on pre-order. I was supposed to get a free book about the 1997 F1 season when I did this but when I made the order the shop (EB, now called Game) said the book wasn't available yet but I could pick it up when I got the game. When I went to pick up the game they told me they had run out of books, so I just got the game.

It wasn't as good as the F1 95 game (although it had a better menu system), and it can now be easily picked up for around £3.

I have never bought anything from EB or Game since.

[KeenCommander]

$50 (USD), and sadly - probably only half of the games I bought for that price were worth more than $20. Usually I'm a bargain bin shopper, though.

[mikebeaver]

Orignal street fighter 2 on the SNES, £64.99 from my local Currys for my 13th Birthday, lol, also managed to spend £54.99 on Mortal Kombat 2 when that came out, lol.

Mike..

[HydroJohn]

£50 For Gears Of War

[brandonheat8]

$87.89- metal gear solid vr missions (ps1) i still play it on a monthly basis, and its currently in my ps2 right now, or is that dino crisis?

[Zack]

65 euro for Too Human....

[Auriman1]

Ever since the US's economy started to suck and I became unemployed, I'm a bargain bin shopper ($40 or less, preferably $10-20).

Before, though, the most I'd pay for a single game was $50 plus tax (which came to around $53).

[repuken2]

$120.- Super Street Fighter 2 (snes) , japanese import, i just needed to have it inmediately after release (1994).

[goshogun1]

I remember paying $135 or so on Final Fantasy VI first came out on the Super Famicom. Then I paid a stranger to pick up final fantasy III for the famicom for like $100. Worst one ever was paying $150 by mail for Tengai Makyou 2 Manji Maru for the PCECD. Only to open the box and find the "demo" of the game, which was worth nothing. I was scammed. Sadly he never replied and disappeared out of contact soon after. :mad:
A good deal was getting dracula X directly from a friend in Japan brand new for like $40.

[dgbbad]

$100 for Lunar 2: Eternal Blue for SEGA CD unopened from ebay. Sad part is just a week before I lost an auction on Lunar 1 and 2 both unopened for the same price. i already had lunar 1 i just wanted another unopened one to keep around. still i think it was worth it. greatest games ever.

[rokumanxes]

$250.00 US.

Damn, Wii Sports was expensive.

[p1220drs]

the most was about $50 US for a game before

but, Im a huge PC gamer, does spending over a grand to build a gaming rig count?

[robman84]

about 75 quid for samba de amigo with maraccas. Probably a bargain

[quzar]

$350 For Star Wars Episode I Racer. It's a sit-down arcade game, Hikaru based, 40ish inch screen, and awesome controls.

[hack.fool]

100 eu for Super Mario RPG complete in box..it worth every cent

[mcdougall57]

$60. GTA for the psp.(My first and only bought psp game)
Before that. $50. SMB3 for NES.(when it released)Old school sh!t. I hardly ever buy games.
edit: Oh yeah, I spent what seems hundreds if not thousands of dollars in quarters on the Street Fighter 2 series in the arcades. HADOUKEN!!! That is where most of my money went as a youth.

[RicardoG]

Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition
99€
Oh what a day...just when there was the strike of the trucks in Portugal.

[nebno6]

This is madess,

PAYING for games?

[lipnox88]

RockBand $169.99 Plus another $90 for the guitar hero 2 with controller needed to play 4 instruments, plus the endless amount of downloadable content... so maybe somwhere around a total of $500?

[Aryn]

$100 for Chrono Trigger, the game was so good in the SNES era that I just had to own it for awhile.

[Jayenkai]

£30 , or £40? Can't remember..

I paid full-price for Phantasy Star Online (DC), never played PSO, and instead played the Sonic Advance 2 demo..
So.. £30/£40 for a demo..

[Emulation_Chief]

Hello:

Some of us will pay for what is worth on a game, basically for one of these 2 reasons. Rarity or Egoism. The first one, make you more than a gamer, a collector; the second, the most popular guy or gal in your neighborhood.

I pay for Battlesphere of Atari Jaguar $200 plus shipping for the first reason. And it worth it.

[Joe88]

only $60 USD :3


most expensive game i bought hmm... lets see... oh yeah Nintendo DS Lite Polar White + Nitendogs Dalmation Edition = $194.45

thats a game system not just a game...

[mib_]

£160 for a Tekken JAMMA board.

I also have another 7 or so boards ranging from £35 to £120.


But all that's nothing compared to the £2000 I paid for my 1st a PC... just to play Doom. :D

[SSaxdude]

How much ever Rock Band cost, that's the most I've ever spent on a game. I did buy Chrono Trigger in box... for only $18 :)
