  • The Sony PlayStation was released in 1994 and is home to a ton of iconic games like Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, and Final Fantasy 7.
    Playstation prices have remained inexpensive for years, but since 2020 they have exploded in value. I track 22 PlayStation Game prices including Tomba!, Parasite Eve, and Echo Night.

    What do you think about PlayStation prices? Will they rise or fall in 2023?

      My old original playstation still alive and strong nowadays thankfully, my paremts bought it for me a bit late ,though. Around Feb 2000 I got it as a surprise, during high school a year later I go out of our village to city where my school located and only play at home during weekend (usually until 3 am in the morning), thats also probably another factor it still usable today

    I think prices will start to drop slowly next year, but in the next 2 - 3 years, drop to reasonable levels. It takes a few years when people start to lose interest and move on to other things.

    2:30 jewel cases can be a nightmare to ship sometimes. Just glad my psikyo bravo soundtrack worked when rhe case broke and technology is better than when I had my Saturn. Funny how shipping services still beat up packages whule they raise the price.
    Surprised tactics ogre had value, and reborn went on sale (which yeah its flaws no way worth $50, and cutscene channel helps). PS3 includes manuals that probably won't be in Suikoden remake for $16 combined.

    I got to be honest, I’m a little surprised that games from this generation and before still go for so much. It has never been easier to play PS1, N64, SNES, etc games than ever before. Are there really that many “physical collectors” still? Because back in the day, the only reason people bought games was because, well, that was the only way to play said games.
    Can of surprises me.

    • @SuperNicktendo
      @SuperNicktendo  Рік тому

      Nostalgia is a hell of a drug - no different that comic books or baseball cards. Except these don't seem to lose value when you play with them. I can't say for the modern collectors, but I still play my original games more than I do digitally.

      I also collect cards and it is more expensive than videogames. People pay thousands for htf cards, that you only look at them and put them in a case. Videogames at least you get hours of fun with them.

      @@SuperNicktendo I mean I have all my old stuff too. But playing a SNES cart on a system takes so much more time, money, and/or effort. So what happens to my copy of Earthbound now? It sits on a shelf, like a figurine, doing nothing. I guess I’m just surprised there are enough buyers that prices are able to soar. I got out of the collecting game 10 years ago when prices were starting to go up. But when I see SoTN going for north of $150…. I’m just like “who in the hell is paying that much?”. That game sold a million copies. You can download it for 10 bucks on Xbox and it actually loads faster.
      Just continues to mystify me is al. I guess I’m just not as materialistic as some people. I wish I had LESS shit, not more.

      @@leeartlee915 yeah I personally wouldn't spend that much money on something unless it was a personal experience attached to it. If I was just starting collecting today I would have a fraction of what I have and emulate the rest. The prices are getting so out of hand that my collection is becoming a liability.

      Yeah it's been a rough year at my full time job so I needed to prioritize that first since it pays the bills. I've also been trying to make some evergreen content to draw attention to these videos since sometimes UA-cam just stops promoting the retronomics episodes after a week or so.
