Have you bought any of the $9.99 PS1 games?

It's sad to see gaming companies gouging the public. Most PS1 titles on PSN are $5.99, but as you all know there are a few games that have a price tag that's nearly double.

The purpose of this thread is to see how many people here actually think this is an acceptable practice.

I'll admit that I'm guilty of purchasing SOTN for $9.99...but I'm not proud of it.
Then I see Resident Evil and want it...but I'll naver pay $10 for something that could (and should) be around half the price.

So what's up? Do you think this is an ok thing for game compaies to do, or do you see it as nothing but a weak cash-grab?

Also: have you bought any of these $10 titles, and if so would you do it again?

MGS

well i bought RE 2 buts thats it. I cant remember if it was 10 or 5 but i will say it was worth it. 10$ is not a lot of money even if you dont have a job. I played through all the sections pt a and b for both characters and had a ton of fun. It was also quite lengthy. I feel because of that it was worth it and what your really paying for is convenience. You could always go and find yourself a copy of the game on ebay or something like that but it might be more expensive and you dont have instant access.

Only the first RE is $10 I think.

FFVII, VIII, and Grandia are games I bought for $10. Each game offers enough playtime that I have no problems spending $10 on them. I also got SOTN but that was half off so it doesn't count.Eikichi-Onizuka

Yeah the FF's have to be worth it as well. If you had to get a disc copy you would probably be paying much more.

Can you tell me who the hell are you to say a product (game) should be the price you want? No offense but your comment about you feeling guilty for spending $9.99 for SOTN is the funniest and most ridiculous one i have heard in a long time. $9.99 for quality tittles that are fun is right.

I paid that amount for FFVII and Grandia. You should be glad the cost just $5.99 and $9.99, i can't imagine you in the SNES, Genesis and the N64 and PS1 era. Take a look at the prices of games back then:

Hey look SOTN for price was $49.99.

I bought RE3 Nemesis....it was somewhat a ripoff in price but what the heck!!! lol

I've never owned a Playstation one.

only PS2 and PS3.

so....

I have bought

Final Fantasy 7

Final Fantasy 8

Final Fantasy 9

Metal Gear Solid

I've only finished Metal Gear Solid.

I've been interested in

Castlevania : Lord of Shadow and the OddWorld games.

mgs, ff 7 and crash 3, i liked crash 3 a lot never played it beforegreatsharkhunt

I bought MGS, they cost the same as N64 games do on the VC. I don't see the big deal

Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 9, Castlevania: SotN.

FF7, FF8, RE1, RE2 and RE3(I think it was $10). I feel perfectly fine paying that price tag as they are amazing games except RE3 which is probably my least favorite in the series. I mean, I've gotten more time from some of those PS1 games than full $60 PS3 games(looking at you GoW3) especially FF7 and FF8.

scratch that just picked up the Oddworld games (both of them) for a tidy 10 bucks.

only one on the catalog - AT THE MOMENT - that has gotten my interest is Castlevania : Symphony of the Night. Primarily because it looks neat, and my friends rave about it.

I feel they should have done what they were originally going to do with that game and not have a number "3" in the title. It felt too much like a side story to RE2 to called "Resident Evil 3", CODE:Veronica should have gotten that title imo.

Metal Gear Solid.

I really think they should be $5.99 because buying the physical disk of said games are even less now, floating around all second hand now...

Vassup gamer007! Good ta see ya!

I've purchased "Castlevania SotN", "FFVIII", "Metal Gear Solid", and from the amount of fun they've brought into my life, I vote $10 as well-worth it. Now, asking $10 for "4x4 Hardcore" or "Ford Racing" would be gouging. The three games I have listed here (and I might have more of the $10 games on my PSP, it's been awhile since I took stock) are not only good games, they are classics of the time period and examples of how great viseo games can be... They've aged well and demand respect. As someone has already stated, they are the perfect addition to one's PSP library as well as excellent history lessons for any gamer.

I've said it before, say it again: a Great Game is a Great Game, and time has no meaning when it comes to works of art. They only become more valued if they were of any value in the first place.

Gladly pay the price again, for the right titles...

*koff* "COLONY WARS ALREADY" *koff*

(HA! Saw your post after I put mine up, doesntcare!!! We are united on this Colony Wars topic...)

;)

I got Resident Evil 1 and MGS for $10 each, but I would've paid $15 for each.

I don't go back to PS1 or PS2 games now, I had fun with them at the time but would never go back and play them.

Nope and probably never will buy any games online.

I've bought all the final fantasys, SoTn, and Rayman 2.

*sniff sniff* oh the memories. lol, where did u get that?PSP107

But on the real, I can't say I've bought many PS1 titles off PSN (still need to get MGS & RE), but clearly the OP haven't looked at some of the prices ppl, on places like Ebay and whatnot, charge for some of those old PS1 titles (especially the good ones). Hell, I was glad to pick up SH for 6 bucks compare to what some of these dipsticks like to try and rip people off on Ebay for a copy (kid you not, I've seen ppl sell it well over 50+ bucks if not more!!).

As soulreaper perfectly pointed out, the PSN prices are a drop in the bucket compared to how much many of those titles originally cost back in the days.

SOTN wasn't worth $10? You're crazy! I was more than happy to pay ten for that game, it's a piece of nostalgic game awesomeness!

I will probably get mgs sometime soon because its one of my favourite games and its great to have access to it even though i sold my old ps1 years ago. I wish the games were cheaper but i will still spend $10 on mgs but thats about the only game i will pay that price for.
