Anyways I've noticed something why is it that a freaking copy of a used Majora's Mask for $30?! WTF? $30 freaking dollars to get a game on the N64 where the fact I could the same game on Zelda Collection for $35?! Why is it that some old games cost more than they should?!

What's the point in this? It's because it doesn't make sense a game that cost $10 in a X-box bargain bin and Sega Genesis game cost differently. For example if I tired to get Sonic and Knuckles for my Sega guess how much it costs?

...$20! THAT'S RIGHT $20! WHY! I don't understand this.

And yes you could get them on the PSN store, VC and the XBLA.

But come ON. ...What frustrates me even more is a game like FF VII. I had to buy another copy since I lost for $15! WTF! HELL, FF X is $10?!

..Does anyone feel like I do?

It's worth more, and to some, it's a better game than FFX.

I got mine off Ebay for about 30 bucks. Fallout 1 though, Fallout 2 and Tactics, I found at a bargain bin at Frys for about 5 bucks each. All the slightly newer ones(Brotherhood Of Steel, some other one)are at Used price.

It's probably because the game is no longer being made, and therefore you can't find it in local retailers for the most part. Therefore, it can qualify as a "rare" game and it'll cost you more. Same reason why antiques are valuable. You can't nab em just anywhere.

I know just how you feel..

I spend $29 at a flea market for the first Mario Party. (not in the box or anything..) What a fool I was to spend that much. Ace was with me when I bought it. He accidentally broke something that was for sale as I was buying this. rofl

I've been wanting to buy an used NES with games for a long time. I can't seem to find one for decent price let alone guaranteed to work..

They aren't rare. I usually find at least 5 to 10 copies of Ocarnia of Time execpt it's price at $20! Geez I get the point they are old games but come on, I don't want to pay that price.

@Daxel: Ooo, next stop Frys. I want me some Fallout.

Might want to bring a shovel and a bag of disappointment.

Lucky, Lucky day.

Although, my local Gamestop have loads of copies of Brotherhood Of Steel for the PS2. Wasn't all that good though....

Best Option. Who knows, might be a Special Edition with releases of Fallout 1/2 on them....

Or Amazon!
