WTF Is Amazon Thinking? [CLOSED]

So I most recently just had some overwanting urge to play YOTD for some reason.
I can say it's been a rough, 5-6 years since I even played the game. This also being my favorite game of all time, I wanted to get a nice copy, and thinking I could get a nice copy off of Amazon with my most recent gift card(s), why not?

oh boy.
maybe I should have rethought that, look at these prices?! $25.00 for "Disc Only" and the *insert curse word here* behind people is beyond me also, "might not work or play"

LOOK AT THESE PRICES: http://www.amazon.com/Spyro-Ye...d_bxgy_vg_img_z

This would be one thing if it was Very Good or New condition, which when the money comes to me, I will be definitely getting one unopened for my collection, but geezus, Amazon must be, idk. Trying to keep the trash talking at a minimum on this. smilie
(eBay sells copies for $20.00 COMPLETE people!)

Actually, I think those are actual sold copies from Amazon, which i'm hopefully guessing they're sealed.

I'm lucky that I still have my own original copy still working. And I bought a cheap one from Amazon a few years ago, that's in really good condition. I went through a phase of buying all three of them again to keep them as spares.

Those prices are insane! I once bought a copy of Ratchet and Clank for £50.00 and my PS2 doesn't read it. 50 quid down the drain.

And it's the original black label too. The Greatest Hits version runs you a bit more money. What I really don't understand is why the heck Sony and Insomniac would put the buggy original version on the PSN when the Greatest Hits version fixes everything that was wrong with the original. *grumble*

Congrats! You wasted five seconds reading this.

I never knew the black label version was buggy? Is it as bad as Enter The Dragonfly?

^No, no, not in the slightest. But there are some indications it was rushed out the door before it was completely ready. @.@

There is a brand new, factory-sealed original labelled disc for £200, which is a hella lot.

Wow, When I got my YotD it was really cheap from amazon, but next time I checked it was much more, lucky.

You should check Crash Bandicoot 2! I almost jumped out of my chair.

Ridiculous Prices for brand new copies.

Well you could just get the PSN version, but apparently Sony was drinking too much and forgot to use the version that had support for the analogue sticks. DANG IT, SONY. >.>

It's not just Amazon though. The price for retro games have gone up due to the retro video game craze.

You gotta believe! Heh heh.
