This is ridiculous. How hard could they possibly be to find...

Jeez, why don't stores re-order more copies, they'd make a killing with RE4 anticipation and the new movie in theatres and DVD soon...

I think buy.com has these title for sale for regular price ($30).

Also, gamestop.com and ebgames.com don't carry any GCN Resident Evil's anymore (not even REmake or RE:0 ), although they do have some used copies of some of them.

They should do a bundle set rerelease with RE2, RE3 & Code: Veronica X for $29. RE2 & RE3 should've really been bundled in the first place anyway.

 

[cvxfreak]

They should re-release REmake and Zero each with the RE4 demo this winter, and make a bundle of RE2 and RE3 for $20. I think CVX's still in stores somewhat, for both PS2 and GC, so they don't have to re-release that.

 

[Red Dolphin]

Sheesh. That's a lot of money for a PSX port.

You know I probably would have bought RE2, 3 and CV if they'd come in a cheap bundle. I definately would have bought RE2 if they did a REmake of it.

 

[Dan]

I agree. I can't find RE2 anywhere, nor any of the others in stores.

Buy.com has REmake, RE3, and Code: Veronica X for current retail prices last I checked though.

Edit: I see you already mentioned buy.com though. I should take advantage of that soon.

 

[human5892]

I would've bought any RE game remade in the same fashion as the first game (except for CV, for obvious reasons). For full price, even.

 

[thomaser]

I try to get those games into my store all the time, but I almost never get them. I get 2 or 3 once in a while, but the rest is impossible to find... the distributor simply doesn't have them anymore. Production has probably been stopped for a long while now.

They're quite sought-after, so a Player's Choice-treatment would be perfect right about now.

Don't you think that Capcom won't release a complete series box with the release of Resident Evil 4?!

 

[Lyte Edge]

eBay never ceases to amaze me. I used to be able to take used games purchased for $30-$50, put them up for auction, and get $80-$100+ for them. Crazy.

I'd like to see RE2 and RE3 bundled together as a player's choice package for $20-$30. Doesn't matter to me though; I got both games for $20 total when Gamestop had a trade in deal for them at release.

That box looks a bit long to just hold those games. What's at the backend of it?

WTH? Are they that rare in the US? Here in Europe you can get them for ~$25 new.

 

[explodet]

It's a very strange supply/demand thing...

Here's my educated guess:
Capcom didn't make many copies of RE2 and RE3, and because they were charging so much for them, demand wasn't too great. But, they kept on selling every month, a few thousand at a time. And now that they're harder to find, and with the hype for Resident Evil 4 and maybe even the second movie, demand has increased, resulting in prices like in those ebay auctions up here.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Are RE2 & RE3 improved at all from the PSX originals?

 

[Lyte Edge]

I know CVXFREAK will be able to list all the changes, but visually, the only improvements are really in the main character models (at least for RE3), and slightly higher resolution. RE2 is also on one disc.

The Wesker's Report Booklet is about twice the length of the games, which is why the box is pretty long. There's a piece of cardboard inside the box that allows the GC games to fit inside, perfectly.

I'm pissed at Capcom for not giving RE4 a slot. =/
