Yes some games I've previously owned are now over $100 now there's a game i'm eyeing myself that costs 90$ but i'm saving that for christmas time if it's still there. it was a delisted out of print ps4 game. unfortunately i cant say which one it is but paying attention to the delisted games will likely figure out the answer. note: it isn't saw 2 (ps3) --- Republicans " hold together like a ball of lusty ticks" - drclaeys <cite>kingdrake2 posted [p:974856505] in Why is Ama...
