I’d also like to mention when SH2 came out I was 11. I couldn’t imagine touching it, as I’ve gotten older I’ve enjoyed survival horror so getting the games have been well worth it to me. I’m not scummy so I won’t resell them at an outrageous price
It's good to know there are people out there who won't resell for an excess price, I buy games because I genuinely like and want to play them I also refuse to resell for major profits.
Silent hill 3 was the game that got me big into horror games. I let a friend borrow it years ago and never got it back. Thankfully I bought it complete about 2 years ago at a game convention when it was still $30 so I can experience it again. I think a big reason it is expensive is also because the HD collection came out and was horrible and unfortunately the only easy way to play 2 and 3 aside from emulation
Good on you for getting it at that price. I do hope they come back close to what they use to be but that won't be for while. I'm so desperate to collect all the games in the series.
@@dstreet3818 I know it sucks buying games at high prices but sometimes it works out. I bought magic knight rayerth for Sega Saturn for $300 which sounds crazy at the time but now its in the $900 range making it damn near unobtainable now. The best way to pay for expensive games imo is with PayPal credit on ebay where you can pay in 4 for over $100 purchases. I think its better paying $30 a month rather than all at once. I can see silent hill 3 going for over $300 in the near future especially with Halloween coming up I always see horror games (especially on PS2) spike in prices
@@immitationstation3369 Thats insane lol. Honestly I'm the type of person where I want to pay up for the whole thing at once and not worry about monthly payments which I already have enough to deal with but thanks for the tip. Might be something I'll consider. Though I dont see the series getting VERY expensive cause the games are way more readily available compared Saturn North American stuff. But hey I could be dead wrong that we have to pay $500 for these games someday lolz
@@dstreet3818 yeah silent hill 3 isn't the rarest game by any means but much like Mario 64, sonic adventure, and earthbound it has a massive fan base who are unwilling to part with their cib copy which make them increase exponentially in value. I hope you do more videos like you did on the silent hill series and you have a fantastic collection of games 👍 keep up the good work and congrats on the 100 plus sub's homie
Two years later and prices havent moved much sadly. I really find it so surprising. Silent hill are great games but they certainly arent rare. At least the early games arent. So for the first and second game which both sold well over a million copies to stay so high is confusing to say the least. I suspect they will drop pretty significantly at some point but they are still just hyped up right now. And announcement of 2 remake doesnt help that.
The 1st and 2nd games fot sure sold more than a million copies since they got GH releases. It seems people who own the games nowadays don't want to get rid of them hence why they dont show up often. Like I haven't seen almost any of the games show up in my local game stores but we will see if anything changes in the next few years.
Would you rather own a japanese ps2 and all the silent hill games in japanese wich support full english in menus too....... or you can buy the 3 american ones for even more just so your NTSC ps2 can do more work. Anyone who knows collecting will know this anwser. Your welcome boys i like this channel.
We know the logical answer but for my goals for collecting if an NTSC version exists for a game physically I want that for consitency but if there is a difference in box art/name I will pick up the other regions as well which is the case with Silent Hill. Also personally I'm not really buying the games to actually play them. Buying them for the sake of having CIB copies cause its history to me and the series means a lot to me. If I want to play the games I would rather emulate them cause its arguably the better experience depending on what you do. Thanks for your support and glad your enjoying the content!
Well I'm proud to be the owner of these games nice and new, with a factory sealed copy of metal gear solid. Has the Walmart price tag too. I just hope we can maybe get a full remaster of all four games, not just the second.
Would be nice since game compilations is the only thing Konami knows how to do nowadays. But it won't happy due to Konami has lost the source code for some of the games like SH2 and SH3 hence why the HD collections are a broken mess.
All the other PS1 and PS2 games on eBay and Amazon are around $80 bucks or less from 3rd party sellers so why are people being soo greedy with this one franchise or series? I know Team Silent disbanded and probably won't get back together to make a good version of the series, but still I wish these sellers weren't greedy with the games.
Loose copies around $80-$100 rn but complete copies start at least $140. The biggest problem at the end of the day is people are actually paying those prices cause the demand is there. Its not just Silent Hill going through is, look at a lot of Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 games are going through the same thing.
Or Konami should release the definition edition for PS4, Xbox one, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It’s like how Rockstar release the GTA the trilogy of GTA III, Vice City and San address definition edition. Konami can do it even tho I never played Silent Hill 2 and 3.
Silent hill 1 is the hardest puzzles, silent hill 2 has the hardest monsters, silent hill 3 is the most fun game ever, silent hill 4 is beautiful and just insane to play.
Huh. I never knew that Dead by Daylight was a contributing factor for why old Silent Hill game prices have gone up. Honestly, I think another reason for prices going up is because of scalpers. I don't mean that people are buying a whole bunch of games and doing this but scalping has shown to be pretty profitable as stupid and slimy as it is.
You may want to consider scripting these out instead of doing them extemporaneously, there’s lots of digression and cuttable anecdotes here which makes it pretty difficult to get invested into tbh
I’m honestly glad I got into silent hill series 3-4 years ago when all the games were fairly cheep. Got all the silent hill games for the ps2, one psp game, sh1 and all ps3 for less then $400 total. 11 games for $400 doesn’t seem so bad now that the price spike. I’m sad that I never got shattered memory for the wii and psp and book of memory and it’s unfortunate that it’s became an expensive game series.
Shattered Memories imo isnt that good really. Felt very short and lackluster that the game could've been so much more. I recommend only getting the Wii version cause it was made for that system in mind and lools the best. Book of Memories you can just ignore cause its not a real Silent Hill game. Only get it if you want every game in the series.
13:55 not really Sh 2&3 ps2 versions are agreeably the best way to experience these games, so that’s why these two are expensive and they have high demand. Sh4 is expensive because it didn’t sell, but I don’t think it has high demand because it has really good digital versions (gog &ps store). I think Sh1 is expensive because it’s an old game.
1. just wanted to say that I love your channel 2. I appreciate this video. I've never tried out the silent hill games and was thinking about picking them up until I saw the prices!
Bro what the fuck. I bought my game for like 7 dollars a couple years ago. I was looking at ps1 games to play something new and I happened to run across silent hill and it was like 300 bucks. This shit it getting out of hand what the hell.
I’m disappointed that silent hill games are expensive. I got to introduce from a video called haunt by GRZ and I hear soundtrack of Silent Hill 2. second I got introduce more Silent Hill which is P.T. Later 2020 I finally got introduced Silent Hill. I go on eBay, tried making offers and biding for Silent Hill 1,2,3 and 4, the user on eBay blocked me for bidding and bidding. I love collecting of PS1 and 2 games, sadly I never get a chance to collect Silent Hill 1,2, 3 and 4: the room.
Use to have Silent Hill, I kept my games mint, even as a teen. Sold it... yep, sold it along with Dino Crisis 1 & 2 (also going up in price) when I got a PS2. Speaking of PS2, also had SH 2 & 3. Borrowed them to a neighbor. Couple weeks later. He moved, never gave them back to me. This still pisses me off to this day and its been over 15 years now. I shouldn't have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to get them back. I do still own SH4 though.
I bought silent hill 2, 3 and 4 at a yard sale years ago for like 5 bucks each. Then bought the 1st one for $35 bucks at a comic store about 7 or 8 years ago. Wish I kept down pour. But I have pt on my ps4. XD.
I like your story we are the biggest fan of Silent Hill franchise... one notes... please try to give impression in your tunes I cannot fucus what you try to say because you talk all in same level tune like... no emotion experience...😑
You should practice giving speeches i feel like you have a genuine personality but are a little bit parsed out with dialogue i might he projecting because im dealing with that right now but your points are very well thought out and good.
Congrats dude, make sure you treasure them cause these games are works of art and nothing else in the industry is like them. Personally I'm waiting for the bubble to burst for the games and I have gotten the few that arent overpriced. I just need 1, 3, and 4 to complete the main series since I have the others
@@dstreet3818 I definitely will. SH2 blew my mind, the music , the story. It feel like the series is getting more attention in spite of like you mentioned they’ve always been critically acclaimed.
@@BEmagiK Its seriously thanks to the DBD chapter that it shot up in price which to me is BS. These games are not rare at all cause I can find them all over ebay. Also 1 and 2 got greatest hits varient so it sold very well. I remember seeing nearly the whole series going for $30-$40 per game forever! More than $70 is not worth it to me but for you that can be completely different and I respect that.
I rec u sell those games while the market is hot. You didnt hear it from me however the japanese version of 2-4 are some of the few japanese ps2 titles that support full english even in menus. You didnt hear it from me but u can pick all those up for less than a 100 all together. The silent hill games will be some of the few games that downtrend significantly. way overpriced.
@@xEvolusionxx Japanese versions will be ones that I have one day but only reason is for having new box art. Regardless I do want to have at least all NA versions but gonna currently waiting for the bubble burst for those. Thanks for your recommendation though!
Thanks for the in-depth explanation, I only played the first SIlent Hill for PS1 when it was first out and I couldn't understand why an original disc would cost me so much money today. I would've thought it would be worth less than one dollar by now.
Retro horror games typically cost a lot once they start having price increases. They usually mean a lot of people since its an emotional experience that sticks with you so there will always be people who want them. Many older games still have very high prices cause lots of people want them again and low supply of original copies hence why they need to be re-released today.
I have complete copy of Silent Hill Shattered Memories for PS2. I didn’t know it was that expensive. I don’t even like it, I rather trade it for Origins. I like Origins better.
It was a 2010 PS2 release. That's 4 years after the PS3 has been out making SM a very VERY late release for the PS2 therefore not a lot of copies were printed nor sold well. I got my copy a while ago which of course wasn't fun to get lol.
@@dstreet3818 yeah it was a really difficult time for PS2 exclusive game releases after the PS3 was already out. I have always been obsessed with Silent Hill and I already owned the PSP release of Silent Hill Origins but also I beat it on the PS2. My PS2 has a modchip so I can go ahead and download the ISO online and burn it on a DVD 📀 and play it.
I own silent Hill 1 to 3 and have for around 5 years or so now. My copys of 1 and 2 are the US versions, and my copy of 3 is the Japanese version because it was cheaper at the time. I bought 1 and 2 over 10 years ago and didn't buy 3 until during the pandemic. I have played a finished 1 and 3 but not 2 because I don't really like that one very much. I'm probably one of the few people out there who don't love silent Hill 2.
So glad I kept my Silent Hill 3, loved it in my teens and kept rebuying it because I'd got rid of it. Brand new in a plastic case along with Haunting Ground, both of which I replayed once and stored on my shelf ❤ them. Silent Hill is way more scary than Resident Evil, Resi Evil are fun games though, but not scary. Need to plastic protect my sighed Revelations PS3 game of Catherine Disher ❤
I will never understand Konami you'd think they'd put the series on playstation 4 or 5 or at least make them easy to Access so people aren't breaking the bank to own the games really dumb on your part Konami it's a shame really and sad .
I love silent hill, I love all of the 4 original team silent games, I have sold them unfortunately, I'm trying to get them back, if I ever get them, I really need to never sell it ever again, no matter how short on cash I am, to prices is insane, I'm afraid the prices are only going to keep going up.
I'm pretty sure this series is expensive because Konami's lost the source code for the game. People who worked at Konami during that time admitted that when the HD collection was made, they had to basically build it from the ground up because of that exact reason.
I know silent hill series from dbd. When i was young i saw PT but i did not know what silent hill was, i only remember that game was scary, but nothing else. In 2021 i started with silent hill 1 then the 2,3 and 4. Actually, the 2nd game is my favorite game of all time
If dead by daylight could make a considerable difference like this what kind of difference do you think the upcoming silent hill 2 remake and other SHs being made will make?
If the SH2 remake turns out to be good (which I have a LOT of doubts) it can have an effect on OG game prices if new fans jumped with SH2 remake. For the rest of the upcoming games its hard to say since we still don't know a lot about them. Sadly I believe these high prices are here to stay, I been to so many game stores in recent years and I almost never see copies available.
I actually never got to experience the awesomeness of any of the Silent Hill games. I’m 18 now and wanna buy the series, but it’s just so damn expensive! How can I buy the games at an affordable price??
For Silent Hill 1 get it on the PS3 digitally for $6 and if you have no other choice for SH2 and 3 then you can play the god awful HD collection on PS3 or Xbox 360. SH2 and SH4 do have O.G. Xbox versions for like $40-$50 but do have same graphical issues that the PS2 versions are better since the games were were made for the system. SH4 you can get on GOG on PC. All other entries are still locked behind their original releases so if you want to be official you have to pay up for it. But then again, just emulate some of these cause if Konami doesnt want to sell you the games then why shouldnt care about emulation on top of all other reasons why its important. Regardless I do hope you play the series and enjoy it especially SH1-4. This is a series that shouldnt be missed if you like horror games.
As the years go by them games will go up in price I honestly have no problem paying that much everyone is different I’d buy stuff that I’m a big fan for you know? Let me know your thoughts I’m always open to other peoples opinion! :)
Would you spend over $500 dollars for one of those game's I think not it's not worth it. I really wish Konami released a whole collection of silent hill game's in one disc or two on ps4,ps5,xbox one or xbox series x.
@@granturismochannelgooned0069 that's insane wasting that much is just ridiculous 🙄 I'm sorry but it's true. I found a silent hill origins for only $10 dollars cib in a garage sale. Last month I found xenosaga 3 in another garage sale for $8 dollars cib. It's absolutely crazy how people would put a game's price that's wayyy to high? The people really lost there marbles big time. I'm not trying to be a harsh person here but to be honest when I see people spend that much money on a single cib game that's ridiculous to me. However it's a person's choice so I say do whatever you like with your hard earned money but just remember that's ridiculous.

So glad I kept my Silent Hill 3, loved it in my teens and kept rebuying it because I'd got rid of it. Brand new in a plastic case along with Haunting Ground, both of which I replayed once and stored on my shelf ❤ them.
Silent Hill is way more scary than Resident Evil, Resi Evil are fun games though, but not scary. Need to plastic protect my sighed Revelations PS3 game of Catherine Disher ❤
I will never understand Konami you'd think they'd put the series on playstation 4 or 5 or at least make them easy to Access so people aren't breaking the bank to own the games really dumb on your part Konami it's a shame really and sad .
I love silent hill, I love all of the 4 original team silent games, I have sold them unfortunately, I'm trying to get them back, if I ever get them, I really need to never sell it ever again, no matter how short on cash I am, to prices is insane, I'm afraid the prices are only going to keep going up.
*Spoiler for Jumpscares in Midwhich map in DBD*
That goddamn locker gets me every time.
I'm pretty sure this series is expensive because Konami's lost the source code for the game. People who worked at Konami during that time admitted that when the HD collection was made, they had to basically build it from the ground up because of that exact reason.
Its true for SH2 and 3 but not 100% sure if its the same for the rest of series but wouldnt be surprised if thats the case.
I know silent hill series from dbd. When i was young i saw PT but i did not know what silent hill was, i only remember that game was scary, but nothing else. In 2021 i started with silent hill 1 then the 2,3 and 4. Actually, the 2nd game is my favorite game of all time
SH2 is the perfect horror game imo. Its my 2nd favorite game ever.
Hey i have sh 2 , 3 and 4 in good condition i want to sell but i live in colombia someone interest
If dead by daylight could make a considerable difference like this what kind of difference do you think the upcoming silent hill 2 remake and other SHs being made will make?
If the SH2 remake turns out to be good (which I have a LOT of doubts) it can have an effect on OG game prices if new fans jumped with SH2 remake.
For the rest of the upcoming games its hard to say since we still don't know a lot about them.
Sadly I believe these high prices are here to stay, I been to so many game stores in recent years and I almost never see copies available.
It is a rare commodity for such an old game franchise.
I actually never got to experience the awesomeness of any of the Silent Hill games. I’m 18 now and wanna buy the series, but it’s just so damn expensive! How can I buy the games at an affordable price??
For Silent Hill 1 get it on the PS3 digitally for $6 and if you have no other choice for SH2 and 3 then you can play the god awful HD collection on PS3 or Xbox 360. SH2 and SH4 do have O.G. Xbox versions for like $40-$50 but do have same graphical issues that the PS2 versions are better since the games were were made for the system. SH4 you can get on GOG on PC.
All other entries are still locked behind their original releases so if you want to be official you have to pay up for it. But then again, just emulate some of these cause if Konami doesnt want to sell you the games then why shouldnt care about emulation on top of all other reasons why its important.
Regardless I do hope you play the series and enjoy it especially SH1-4. This is a series that shouldnt be missed if you like horror games.
Thanks for the info! :)
one of the best horror games you can get 1,2,3,4 great games can't say the same for origins or shattered memories
Team Silent games will always be near perfect games.
Wait, was I actually the first comment?
I mean you can check the section right lol
Something
As the years go by them games will go up in price I honestly have no problem paying that much everyone is different I’d buy stuff that I’m a big fan for you know? Let me know your thoughts I’m always open to other peoples opinion! :)
Would you spend over $500 dollars for one of those game's I think not it's not worth it. I really wish Konami released a whole collection of silent hill game's in one disc or two on ps4,ps5,xbox one or xbox series x.
I’d pay five hundred for a sealed silent hill 3
@@granturismochannelgooned0069 that's insane wasting that much is just ridiculous 🙄 I'm sorry but it's true. I found a silent hill origins for only $10 dollars cib in a garage sale. Last month I found xenosaga 3 in another garage sale for $8 dollars cib. It's absolutely crazy how people would put a game's price that's wayyy to high? The people really lost there marbles big time. I'm not trying to be a harsh person here but to be honest when I see people spend that much money on a single cib game that's ridiculous to me. However it's a person's choice so I say do whatever you like with your hard earned money but just remember that's ridiculous.
Yeah I like certain games and they mean more to me
So how about you sell me that xenosaga lll for 40 bucks then ?
@@granturismochannelgooned0069 after seeing people online putting that game to high sorry man if I do that I'll never see it again who knows? Sorry I'll have to pass on your offer.
I think I going to pirate the games and play them on my modded ps2 thru freemcboot.
I don't blame you. Not only that but playing games on a modded ps2 is the way to go if your using a hard drive which I will be doing soon.
@@dstreet3818 I have a 250gb ssd on my modded ps2 and load times are nonexistent. I orginal brought a PS2 2 months ago because I wanted to play orginal ps2 ratchet and clank games since the games are hard to emulate on my pc especially deadlocked and hd collection on ps3 sucks.
