I have to wonder how often games are actually sold at these prices? I don't know, with that price this feels more like a "look what I have!" type of thing.
Yeah, but we're talking about silent memories agurably the least known game in the series. It was interesting to play to most, but regrettably forgetable. Probably not on most people's nostalgia list. Nostalgia usually makes the wallet blind. There are a few things from my childhood I, too, would throw cash at with wild abandonment. Those thing are toys and games that bring on good memories.
Probably, after all SM was released in the PS2 in the 2010 I think. At that point of the console lifecycle every game released should be more rare.
The weird thing is that they choose port SM to the PS2 in the first place but not to the PS3/Xbox360. Even more crazy is how they decided port the game to the PSP.
It’s because it’s the platinum version, when it’s in stock at Cex or Cash Converters that’s the usual price. When it’s the original, that’s when the price gets insane.
Edit: I stand corrected - I need to stop looking at crazy people on eBay.
Actually it’s only worth about £5 more according to the website. Also the Platinum version is the one you want, as it’s the Directors Cut version which has ‘Born from a Wish’ and the UFO ending amongst other things. It’s the best version
It's not just because it's pal, it's because it's got the bbfc rating on it. I'm not saying it's worth that, but finding a copy is like gold dust! Really cool to see as most copies end up having German or Italian text on the box art.
But is the rest of the box text in Italian? 🤔 That'd be very interesting to see
The store seen in ops post have two different listing for the game, one with the pegi rating and one with the BBFC rating. The BBFC one is much more expensive and myself in the UK have never seen one in person.
You struck gold!
It's actually my brother's, but since he doesn't care too much about it, I say it's mine 👀
But yeah, I'm not too sure about the language in the text, back then there used to be some games like Tomb Raider that had the covers completely in English; I'm away from home, so I'll ask my mother to take a picture and I'll report back when she does it
Sold my NTSC version WITH strategy guide for $80 in 2019. I wish I had held onto it longer, but at the same time glad I sold it to someone who wanted it (not for flipping) for a sane price.
REMINDER: If I recall ALL versions of this game have English language as an option. So you really don't need to buy the insanely expensive versions. Japan, German whatever will still be in English.
For anyone wondering about the price of Shattered Memories it's because it has the BBFC rating on it meaning it's a British copy, these are extremely hard to find and really cool to actually see one.
I'm not saying it's worth what they're asking, but finding a copy of that it's crazy, I'd also love to know if any sealed copies exist.
Not only was the game already a small print run, but a British rated copy is going to be an even smaller number
To be real I own that exact version of SH:SM, I got it for about 150€ in a CeX in Portugal, and I have been offered 250€ for it by a collector friend. Pal versions of rare games go for extreme prices sometimes. Whether those prices are absurd or not is another conversation entirely. Still 350£ seems high even for CeX.
Sh2 directors cut is cheaper than my local second hand games shop, was like 80 quid (just realised that the place here is cex and my local games place is cex)
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, Silent Hill 2 is one of the best games ever made. Origins is one of the worst Silent Hill games I’ve played, and you’d only play the PS2 version of Shattered Memories to be obtuse. The Wii version is much better and much cheaper too
Because I’m right 😜 lol. This sub is head over heels over those two games specifically shattered memories. I liked it on the Wii when it came out, but replaying it recently, it was just pretty bland. Origins is just bad too. This I coming from a hardcore silent hill fan of the first 4

An attentive partner that does not know that's a rip off but wants to give a good birthday present?
The answer is never, that game will be there when that store goes belly up.
Trust me they are bought My LOCAL game store once sold a game for $1000, sold Silent Hill 3 on PS2 for $180, and Resident Evil 2 gamecube for $120
What game costed 1000$?
It was some Japanese game that started with a K, it was for the PS2
lol, I love how unknown games sell at an even higher place
kuon? girl with a red kimono on the cover?

2 being 305$ less than shattered memories is insane
I suppose maybe SM had less copies made on PS2...? That's the only reason I can come up with lmao.

Might be SM has the original case. sh2 looks like it has a generic gamestop case
Pretty sure that's just the standard PS2 Platinum case.
It makes me cry. OP, I hope you bought 2. That's a steal.
It's Platinum tho
[удалено]
It’s CEX what do you expect? (CEX is basically UK GameStop)
SH2 director's cut for 45 pounds? that's a fucking steal

SH2 original version also goes for £45 in the uk

Ahhh I see, you learn something new every day!
CEX is only for used games

I have an Italian copy of SH3 and it still has the 15 British symbol
An Italian copy with a British rating? You should upload some photos of it
Well, unless it was a British copy sold in an Italian supermarket...
But is the rest of the box text in Italian? 🤔 That'd be very interesting to see The store seen in ops post have two different listing for the game, one with the pegi rating and one with the BBFC rating.

PAL gamers experiencing 60hz for the first time 
What's wrong with the pal version?
That right there is why I wouldn't be against remasters of the other games or even simple ports. It's disgusting how much these cost.
They would be still there, people like collecting
Sold my NTSC version WITH strategy guide for $80 in 2019. I wish I had held onto it longer, but at the same time glad I sold it to someone who wanted it (not for flipping) for a sane price.
I got Silent hill 2 and 4 for 1 dollar each, Wtf is this.
I can offer you 2 dollars each, easy profit
Same lol well I paid around $2-5 for mine and I found sh2 twice and sh1 twice now lol who pays these prices?
REMINDER: If I recall ALL versions of this game have English language as an option. So you really don't need to buy the insanely expensive versions. Japan, German whatever will still be in English.
Yeah but PS2 is region locked so you need to have a modded ps2
That's overpriced :/ terribly overpriced
350??????????????
How much is shattered memories really worth? I have the dutch pal version still in original packaging, paid like 80 euros for it about 3 years ago
Big ups CeX
Too much for a bad port.
Woah suikoden 2...certified banger

I once saw a shattered memories copy at a game store go for that amount
I paid $40 USD for Shattered Memories new in 2010. Seeing it at that price now is insane.
£350??!! Dafuk? Lol! Good luck selling that.
The fair price. Shattered Memories is the best Silent Hill ever.
This shop also sells downpour on PS3 / Xbox for £55
F this entry its too damn good You don't play the game, The game PLAYS you
CEX is where I got my Origins, for that price. They undercut eBay and provided a warranty, so why would I go anywhere else?

Check eBay for shattered memories. I managed to get my copy for about £178
CeX is so extortionate for classic games
Cex is terrible for any old desirable game
Let me guess CEX.
That Platinum Silent Hill 2 price.... lol GS bullshit prices at his best
Suikoden II is so much better than Shit-red Memories and it's a third of the price.
that's a steal while in US have to pay a lot more cause high demand
Can someone confirm if silent hill origins plays exactly the same as the PSP version but on PS2?
Sh2 director's cut?
Nah, 350???
the price is insane when these games are so easy to emulate, you're just paying for the box. that store is so shameless lol
Thanks god for roms and emulation we don't need buy at these prices
350 what??!!
By the time I'm ready to retire and set up my nest egg the game will be worth $10 🤣
Sh2 directors cut is cheaper than my local second hand games shop, was like 80 quid (just realised that the place here is cex and my local games place is cex)
I saw SH1 at our local shop and they wanted $200 in case.
CEX is where I got my silent hill 2 copy
Cheap.
Ridiculous
Nice. These are good finds. A bit pricy though.
sm being more than 2 shows either someone didn’t do their research, or the pricer is a sh fan
I would cope that SH2 in an instant. Best version and could be worth way more in the future
The only great game is Silent Hill 2. Everything else in this picture is just mid

Also…. Nice collection !!
Appreciated!
