Hmm... i would rather pay $50 for a good dreamcast game than $50 on most of the shitty games that come out now.

But thats just me.

How are you guys getting games so cheap? nearly all the games for sale are over $10 but that might be because of shipping expenses on my part.

Also, doesn't Shenmue 1 and 2 for PAL go for quite a bit of money? So does Seaman. I overpaid Jet Grind Radio because I neglected searching for the PAL version (my mistake) Other games like Crazy Taxi, Worms Armageddon and the Sega Smash Pack were all $10 or under though.

Mostly eBay and Amazon. I also get some of my games from Goozex which is a game trading site (You trade games to other users for points and use the points to get new games). If you look at my list of games here, almost every game there I got for $10 or less (including shipping). Here are the few exceptions:

Shenmue (eBay) - Not positive about this one but I think I paid about $12. It was one of the first games I bought.

Power Stone 2 (eBay) - As stated above, I paid about $1 for the actual game then another $14 or so for the case and manual.

Grandia II (Goozex) - I paid 450 points which is equivalent to about $22.50. Of course I technically just traded a bunch of games for it.

Armada (Goozex) - 250 points or about $12.50.

I don't know how you found Shenmue for so cheap, most of Ebay are going for $30 or more! (PAL Version anyway.)

Mine is the US version. It actually seems to have gone down in value since I bought it. I'm pretty sure I've seen some end just under $10.

There is no way to transfer a Shenmue 1 save to Shenmue 2 unless they are the same region, right?

Yes, unfortunately that is correct. Apparently there is a way to convert a US save to a PAL save but you need a way to transfer it to your PC.

So Shenmue 1 + 2 are going to be on PSN...

And I just bought both. Shenmue 1 + 2 were crazy expensive on the DC btw, since they were the PAL versions and I got the cheapest I could find.

I should of just waited, I thought they were only rumours but they seem pretty much confirmed now. Sorta feel like I overpayed because they will drop in value soon but maybe I'm overreacting?

Overpay for the two best video games ever created?! Impossible! ;) I doubt they will drop in price because of HD re-releases. It's mostly collectors that are buying them so it's not like they're going to buy the PSN version instead.

I'm pissed, Shenmue 1 came with a cracked case. :x

How much will it devalue it and does anyone know where to find a replacement case (has to be the PAL version)
