Does anyone keep track of out of print / rare 360 games?
I can't believe what some of these games are going for at only a few years old. NFS Carbon CE just ran me $50 for a new copy. Between Amazon Marketplace, Half, and ebay there are only 2 brand new copies of NFS Most Wanted available: $60! There's actually a listing of Gun on Amazon for $80; most are around 50 though. This is pissing me off. I'd like to know what else I should be trying to pick up sooner rather than later. There are other good games I'm getting for $10-$15 off NewEgg, but these others that are only a few years old are costing me an arm and a leg.

You can always go here to get an idea of video game prices on the used market:

That said, there really isnt much of a market for collectable video games. PS1 JRPGS can fetch some high dollar, but 90% or more of old video games become worthless.
I thought I would play the market two years ago, and I bought a ton of PS2 JRPGS. Now, most of em have dropped in value even Baldur's Tate Dark Alliance. Also my entire Xbox 1 library is practically worthless except for KOTOR, and I never buy junk like sports games.
In the end, it's all about having fun playing the games, but kinda makes me sick to see how worthless my games are these days.

Yeah, gems like Operation Darkness, Spectral Force 3, and Zoids Assault, all of which are pretty easily available for 30 bucks or less.
Very few Atlus games seem to become rare these days, and they've even been reprinting older titles. I mean, Amazon last year got a re-release of Persona 2.
