thats scary to think of for people who spent whopping  amounts of cash on US superCD2s' , haha. Good think I didn't  Hmm... but do you really think that the value of the rare superCd2s' will go down? Will it really be the death of the collectors market?

It would be awesome if it killed the collector's market, but I fear that it won't change things much.

In fact, one could argue that an increased interest (a larger audience) for CD games will inevitably increase demand (the number of buyers). This would drive prices up even higher.

I would love to buy games for reasonable prices, but with my luck, it won't happen.

I would love to buy games for reasonable prices too. It would really suck if the prices went up even higher

Prices will either go up or not change much at all.

I say there is zero chance anything gets cheaper.

[Dark Fact]

Exactly, and in the free market, sellers can charge an arm and a leg if they felt like it.

That said, how are the PAL versions of these games? Any better? Worse?
