Games are so expensive here

[zerodeth]

if you are buying it out here $6000 to $7500 but only if you cant do better

You would have to wait awhile for that. Sony normally have their games for download when they are old, with the exception of the games that are made for downloading. For example RE5 came out in 2008 but wasn't available for download until around late 2010. Two years after it was release. If you have that kind of zen like patience then your a better man than I am.

That's changing though. Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, Black Ops and some other fairly recent games are up as well. In my case, however, buying off PSN is more expensive than eBay 9/10 times...

Whats the typical price you pay on ebay?

[Makkah]

Generally $20 less than what it is on PSN. It varies too much to give a typical price.

Unless you have someone in custom or your a game dealer that gets them cheaper than retail, its going to be hard to make a profit from selling games. Unfortunately, what you guys are feeling is people trying to make a profit from games. Most are not aware or know much about gaming which is why you see "greatest hits" selling for the price of a new game. I saw it in just about every store I went. Hell, they even had PS2 games selling for $5000.

I've been watching a USED sega genesis in portmore mall selling for $5000 dollars since 2001. You could make a profit for selling games if you have a great variety, don't pay alot for rent and you buy them used from overseas.

[Stacomous]

That's the person you guys need to find. Someone that doesn't pay rent and can get them from overseas and have a lot of variety. Most retailers in Jamaica don't fall under any of these umbrellas. You find some that may have one or two of them. They may have the games but have to pay rent, may not have to pay rent but can't get the games, may have the games but lack variety.

Every now and then if I see a rare game I would buy it and play it for 3 months but some people are different. I saw Digital Devil Saga 2 for PS2 for $1650 + GCT in a store. worth it?

If you love shin megami tensei, i don't see why not. especially if it's new.

$59 USD isnt far from $7000 jmd.

So what is the problem?
