    Huh, I picked up Silent hill 3 on PS2 for no more than a tenner and it genuinely looked brand new.

      I remember you telling me that. Perhaps it's easier to come across a copy in the UK?
      Over here, in Virginia Beach at least, I can find every other Silent Hill title with no problem in good condition. 3 is just nowhere to be found, let alone in a condition that doesn't suck ass.

        I bought both 2 and 3 through Amazon UK actually, the special edition of 2 was used but in pretty good condition, Silent Hill 3 perplexed me because i'm certain it's an unopened copy (or was).

          I think I paid, like, a hundred US moneys for the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess.

                Back in the day I paid £60 for mortal combat on the SNES.
                That was standard retail back then, but I left it on the tube so I bought it again for the same price.

                  To be honest I'd gladly drop £49.99 on a PS2 copy of Silent Hill 3 than most games out now.
                  Odd that it costs so much in the US (I assume you're in the US). I can pick up a good copy for about £10.
                  I'm pretty sure I haven't overpaid for a game. I paid £35 for Zelda: Wind Waker on Gamecube earlier this year but I think I paid a fair price (With OoT Master Quest).

                    Paid around $70 for Stubbz the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse (XBOX).
                    That was the regular price of the game. I don't know why. I was excited to play it and it felt so mushy to control that I gave up.

                      The most I paid for a used game was the Taito Vol.1 collection. It was $40 in very good condition. Apparently not lot were made, because vol. 2 was cheaper; I only paid $20 for that one.

                            The entire price.
                            This is all subjective right? If you dont feel you got your worth for the price you paid, then anything you paid is overpaid.
                            Doesnt matter if its pennies or 100 bucks.
                            This thread is kinda silly really.

                                Accidentally bought two keys for Rainbow Six Siege and gave away the extra here. Ultimately paid full price after rusting up for a year while I waited for it to go down.
                                $94 for MGSV on launch day, when the special edition of MGS4 cost me around $86 in 2008.
                                Depending on how you look at it, I'm still paying for Doom 4 when you consider the computer upgrades and repairs. ~$846.

                                    Yeah, spent 80 dollhairs on No Man's Sky. Overpaid by about 80 dollhairs.

                                      Shadow Warrior 2.
                                      Buy that.
                                      As for overpaying, if it's a game I want, I don't consider it overpaying. If it's overpaying, I don't buy it. I bought second copies of Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 on Steam because I was too lazy to wait for my Collector's Editions to arrive in the mail, and then I gave the CD keys out to people on the board.
