Great video!! Top man, love what your doing man, good an bad times you always show 👍 you carry yourself on camera very well 👍 one of my favourites at moment 💯
Haha I knew it was going to be Castlevania and yeah, I heard that too about such a small print run/total sales. I bought my copy not too long actually but struck it lucky by saving about 100 quid on the asking price as I bought it from a seller in the States where I live. It's a really good game to be fair but for the high asking price you'd bloody expect it to be haha
Continuing to really enjoy your videos mate, such an awesome way to build a pot up and create a collection, gutted for you the game didn't turn out to be great, will make it sweeter when you get a decent one! Plus I went to school in Basildon so always nice to see/hear local people haha 🙌
I’m excited! For you You can add an alert with CEX and they email you when games in stock , Iv done that successfully with some mega drive games. That’s a big hitter I don’t believe you can get a copy decent on CEX for this value you almost must go eBay as the chances someone would trade a game of that calibre to a store is highly unlikely but I’m wrong all the time so who knows 😂 Really feel for you with this one mate sorry it didn’t work out
Yeah it’s back to the drawing board on this one! I’m sure i’ll get the game in the future just gotta work a little harder! My goal is to have it before the boot sales end this year 😅🤣
Ahh man gutting that is mitch at a hell of a price too, you’ve surely got to have a good run on this roulette soon, your definitely owed one…onwards & upwards pal👍
I had 123 PlayStation 1 games back then I didn't get this one I did get for xbox 360 but not my type Castlevania I prefer the modern 360 games I would like if they remade for series x or PlayStation 5
When I was looking at buying the castelvania game and spending a big wedge on it I had to get the limited edition version, I could not warrant spending 350-400 on the single case version when for £500 I could have the better version
Yeah if I’m being completely honest I didn’t even know there was a smaller version. I’ve only ever seen the big box ones! I’ll save up for the big box one on eBay I reckon. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🕹
@@retro_rummage_ you should put a video up mate of your ps1 collection it will be interesting to see what u have. I have just hit 336 games in my collection so far, all black label and all CIB
@@retro_rummage_ You could keep that one, and get the other one as well. You don't see the single case too often. I think if more people knew this, the single case one will get more expensive.ha ha.
@@SegaSentMe1 haha maybe I should keep it and start telling people it’s rarer. To be honest I did brace myself mentally for it being a small box version although I’d never seen one I thought there must be and if it had the manual I would of kept it 100% but not without!
Ah well, it's the chance you take...at least it can go back! I'm shocked they don't list the higher end titles with or without The ins by now. The question is why would anyone trade a game like that to CEX and 'not' take the manual out to maximise the value achieved, then just whack the ins on the bay?? I know it's frowned upon but, it makes the most of it for the seller. Best to go eBay after working the system and getting the cash out to ensure you get the version you really want 😉👍
Yeah for sure they need to differentiate w/manual for example or do a grading like the electricals. Thing is that game without the manual goes down maybe £80 in value so if you’re gonna split the game and manual I don’t really think you’re getting that much extra for it? Who knows!
Unlucky mate, but that was a hell of a gamble, sure your snag a copy sooner or later, I have castlevania the dracula x chronicles on the psp and Dracula x Rondo of Blood & Symphony Of The Night is on that. Not a cheap psp game now cex 52 quid for a psp game good wack so happy to own a copy. Not sure i will ever own on ps1 but never say never hea. As people say "on to the next".👍🎮🕹
Cheers mate I was gutted not going to lie 🤣 yeah the Castlevania series is brilliant and they all hold their value well so best to get copies as soon as possible! Defo on to the next one 👍🏻🕹
Oh mate that is a shame, I was looking at it as well, ebay is probably the best option for SOTN unless you manage to fluke it at one of the other second hand shops.
Castlevania is an awesome game mate, it's a shame about the manual when it comes to pricey games I think they should atleast let you know if it has a manual or not. I see the carboot pickups are starting to pay off 😀
Yeah I’m gutted about the manual! I’m sure i’ll get it one day 🤣 yeah it’s by chance I had this much vouchers at once as I’ve had no luck with the CEX roulette lately and loads of games have gone back! Thanks for watching 👍🏻🕹
CEX should be outta the retro gaming scene. This is a disgrace charging that much for a game thats missing the manual. The double case has the extras. The artwork manual, music cd and manual. You need that one. They don't differancate the versions in price. Everyone hated castlevania sotn when it first came out. I have the magazines that scored it 50percent and below. Everyone wanted 3d back then..amazing how everyone wants that game now, as 2d has aged better than 3d on the ps1. It's a great game, I still think the snes one edges it. Super castlevania 4. Hopefully you can get hold of it one day complete. Just save and get one off ebay. Rant over. Lol.
Haha it’s not good is it! Yeah to be honest when looking at this game online I’ve only ever seen the double version. That makes sense for the poor run! Funny how times have changed 🤣 i think that’s what i’ll do mate as I still really want this game. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🕹
If i was u mate i wouldnt bother getting games on line from cex any more as u most of them u have to take them back be easyer just to buy of ebay as u know what u are getting
Yeah that’s true mate problem is though I buy stuff at the boot sales to exchange for vouchers at CEX so I’m kind of stuck using them 🤣 don’t get me wrong though I’ve had some quality games from CEX it’s just last couple of times it’s been a stinker. 🤣👍🏻
@@Yorkshiregamer1 yeah don’t get me wrong if there’s one in the stores close to my house i’ll go down there but PS1 games are harder to come by now and some of the stores are 2-3 hour drive from me so I wouldn’t want to spend the petrol money
Castlvania. On the side is normal , even on the big box version.
Gutted for you mate!!! That’s a strange one!! I would only get the double one. Just keep looking for it! I was hoping it was all good for you too!!
Yeah mate I must admit I’d only ever seen the double version before! Oh well saved you the trip 🤣👍🏻🕹
@@retro_rummage_ 100% I would of been gutted driving down there and no doubt would of blown the vouchers on something else
There were times I would buy 2 of yhe same thing on CEX and surprise surprise one would have the manual missing or the other had a disc scratched.
I’ve actually been thinking of doing this! I have enough vouchers now to buy a few copies of each. Maybe i’ll do it next time 👍🏻🕹
Great video!! Top man, love what your doing man, good an bad times you always show 👍 you carry yourself on camera very well 👍 one of my favourites at moment 💯
Thank you mate I really appreciate your kind words. It really does mean a lot 👍🏻🕹

Nice mate wish I could get a cheap copy 🤣 one day for sure!
£340 for that is beyond a joke
For sure it’s a pricey game even with the manual. 👍🏻🕹
Unlucky, I remember getting the limited edition version for £50 on eBay years ago. One of favorite castlevania games.
Nice mate they are definitely increasing in price. I remember looking about 18 months ago and the big box version was £250 and now it’s £500!
I like how you do all your little edits in your vids 👍
Cheers! 👍🏻🕹

Agh what a nightmare, I wish you could see pictures before they dispatch something like this.
Yeah for something over £300 you should be able to see before you buy! Oh well I’m sure my luck will change 👍🏻🕹
Ahh man gutting that is mitch at a hell of a price too, you’ve surely got to have a good run on this roulette soon, your definitely owed one…onwards & upwards pal👍
Cheers mate my luck has got to turn around soon! 👍🏻🕹
It's not the limited edition with the art book
Yeah I’d never seen this copy before which is what threw me. I’ve only ever seen the double version on eBay tbh..
I recently made an online cex purchase. I got the same game twice 🤣🤣🤣 I wanted Tony hawks underground 1 and 2 and I got 1 twice
Haha I’ve had the same mate ordered dino crisis 1 and get 2 and the same with vigilante 8
I think I remember the video
What a shame, serves you right for not picking up 🐿 🤣🤣 as you are doing, send it back 😎
Hahah the karma comes back around! It’s going back today 👍🏻🕹
That is lucky because you can get a whole lot more for your vouchers now 👀
Haha we’ll see. I still really want this game so maybe i’ll try to convert my vouchers into cash and buy it from eBay 👍🏻🕹

Wow mate that’s a lot of games! I’m no where near that amount 😅 i’ll 100% be doing a video going over my games soon though 👍🏻🕹
Also, I will.say this, the single case one is actually rarer, but the other one is worth more because of what it has with it.
Ahh wow I didn’t know that! Like I said I’d never seen this version before !

Ouch.. U on Facebook mitch? Saw this on cex page 5 days ago going back to Lewisham. Keep hunting 👍
I’m not mate Facebook is evil 🤣 I suppose it’s good for things like this as I may have noted it. Thanks for the heads up 👍🏻🕹
Oh mate that is a shame, I was looking at it as well, ebay is probably the best option for SOTN unless you manage to fluke it at one of the other second hand shops.
Yup I think i’ll stick to the original plan and try to convert my vouchers into cash and buy it online. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🕹
Your work gave you money for games? Where do you work?!
Haha sorry I didn’t explain it well enough. I’ve changed jobs and as a leaving present they all had a whip round for me. 👍🏻🕹
Cex £340 no manual no thanks
Yup you know! 👍🏻🕹
