the jerk who has it listed on Ebay for 440 goddamn dollars is insane. it's not worth that much. i've seen it go for $150-$200 many times.King's Field: The Dark Side Box
Ungodly expensive and hard to find, but oh so awesome.

Mushihimesama fox Xbox 360. I want to get it but it's region locked, so I'd have to buy a Japanese Xbox 360 as well.
I want this but it would cost thousands, I'm sure.

Games wise I'm pretty happy... but game related would be this:
Just... can't bring myself to spend the money for that one. Too much.

I'd just like to play it once.
I find this post humorous considering the web site the image was hot-linked.
This fucking game, my white whale. Didn't get an NA release, I can't even find it used on international auction sites. I know that I just mentioned this in the community buy/sell/trade thread, but if anyone in the UK or Australia knows where they can get a copy for a non-insane price and would be willing to forward it along I neeeeeeeeeeed this thing.
ARRGH!
I thought it was pretty boring, if that is any consolation.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
For me, it's
I suppose I could go ahead and get it, but I'm still not 100% convinced I want it.
Fortunately, I've got most of the rare games I really wanted to get.

Two other games that I'd love to have but I can´t because of the price ... and the space in my house.
This game really needs a digital release.
Spent so many hours playing that one game...
really that rare? i bought 2 copies when amazon had it for $10

I thought it was excellent, though I suppose that might make it worse.
It's a very divisive game, which makes it tougher to justify buying it, I suppose.

Yeah, don't feel too bad. I like G.Rev and while it's a decent shooter, it is highly over-valued in my opinion.

I found it when I stopped looking for it at a used game shop while on vacation. I paid 29.99 for it a year ago, and loved every minute of it. I wonder how much I could sell it for now, there doesn't seem to be any on ebay. It's actually turned out to be one of my favorite ninja arcade games.
How much are you willing to sell it? I've been looking all over for that game. Let me know if you are interested.

What game is this?
Absolutely.
Found one in mint condition last summer, fully restored + original parts package. Printer was blocked, but repairable. 9000 euros. Thought about it for one day and realized I can't justify that. I am sorry sometimes.

You lucky bastard!
I bought mine exactly 2 years ago for 210, perfect condition with all the inserts and spine, so you're gonna make a nice profit on it.

I want both this:

Neither of which are all that rare. I'm just lazy

I picked up my copy off ebay.co.uk
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=one+piece+wii&_sacat=0
They say that they don't do shipping to the US but if you message the seller they can probably oblige. They did for me anyway.
Prices seem lower than when I bought them.
this. FU Nintendo.

First time I've ever heard of a Little Nemo arcade game. I have it for NES and it's pretty fun. Wonder how this one is.

Senkyu for the psx
My favorite puzzle game of all time and I can't track down the psx version or the arcade board
There is a bunch of other stuff but those are a matter of just not having the money for them
Space Channel 5 part 2 LE, Segagaga LE, Cosmic Smash, etc.
I also considered starting a SEGA CD collection but the region locking and high game prices turned me off. That, and my inability to find a wondermega for sale.

Another one for me:
And the accompanying Robopon: Cross Version for GBA. I've wanted these CIB for years but they virtually never surface.
Wow, thanks for the link. I'm definitely going to try to get this seller to ship here, as this is the cheapest I've seen the game in years. Traditionally it's been $100 and above used.
Was your copy actually the UK version or was it the version with German packaging but still had an English option on the disc?

Though, as someone who owns the Trilogy, I'd actually recommend getting the original versions... for the missing effects and such. I was fine with the GC controls for the first two games though (since they were designed around them rather than the Wii control scheme), so fuckin'... I don't know.

I didn't think the Little Nemo game was that great. It had really clunky controls. And I am a big fan of the Windsor Mckay comic strips. I believe this one was based more on that anime movie that came out (which I didn't think was that hot tbh). Damn, someone really needs to make a Little Nemo game.

F-Zero X Expansion for 64DD. I'm from europe and I'd have to get a japanese N64, a 64DD, a japanese F-Zero X and F-Zero X Expansion which alltogether costs up to a thousand dollars. For two new cups... It's hard to justify really and my girlfriend would kill me if I wasted that amount of money on a few more levels for a game I already own, but it's really a thing I'd buy in a heartbeat if I was sure I wouldn't have to worry about money all too much.
A few years ago after trying various ways to emulate it, I finally broke down and bought this:
It's not very good.
But there's other games I've desperately wanted to get, but just can't find the time/money/opportunity to actually acquire most notably...
What are some treasures that you really want, but you've resigned into just assuming you'll never have?
That Metroid Prime Trilogy Collectors Edition is £56.00 brand new on play.com (uk).

CIB, I know there are copies out there for purchase...but as others have stated it's me against my wallet.
Fiance got it for me as a birthday present a few years ago
Great gift.I'm with the OP on Metroid Prime Trilogy now... god damn I wish I had just got it when it came out! I feel so stupid now. Echoes is the only one I don't own (though I've played it). But man, I don't know why I slept on something like this. Figures that it'd go rare so quickly.
I picked up a used copy for $15 a couple of weeks ago. This from a shop that uses ebay to set their used prices.... No idea why they didn't price it at $40
Edit: I love Elvira and the Party Monsters - there was one on local Craiglist for $500 a year ago, but couldn't afford it then - If it comes up again, I will be ready. Adams Family would be ace, but the only one I've seen locally was $7000 - which is insane.
