It should be more than enough. A limited edition without the game loses big on value unless its Dead Space ULE or a numbered limited/special edition game. The 2 big factors are: 1. box is not sealed 2. no game

And knowing the box has been open. There is a big chance that the corners/sides are dented or scuffed adding less value overall.

Yeah but it's got the steelbook, artwork and soundtrack and the box would still be intact, so I think maybe $40+ would be closer to what you'd need xx

I'm interested to know as to how you put a figure that low??
Some PAL regions sold these Crystal Edition unsealed and are no longer available in-stores. I would have to assume Ryaku's copy is brand new even though it's not sealed.

Gameshark actually downplayed a lot of Ryaku's stuff
Like I said, unsealed Crystal would sell anywhere between $150 and $200;
Batman's are not $15-$25 too, especially if they have game inside at the very least it is $40-50

May be he posts prices that he is willing to pay for it?

It would be around that price range if he were to sell it on USA ebay. When his competing against sealed and shrink wrapped version of the game like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FINAL-FANTAS...item4162e7c6b2

Does a sealed shrink wrap matter to collectors? yes, and adds value.

Take this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FINAL-FANTAS...item4162e7c6b2 (about $150) (he has sold 0 copies so far) (and its sealed/shrink wrapped)

Batman steel book is going to depend on if the "right people" are actually online to bid on the item. $15-$25 would be for most avg collectors. It may sell for $50+ if advertised through the collecting community

Yeah, there are listings like these on eBay, but even so it doesn't stop people from purchasing copies for $200:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1413

or even $350 (this is Australia though):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_636wt_1396

plus he has PS3, and not Xbox 360, PS3 is in more demand

Yes, I'd agree and understand about the Sealed vs Not Sealed. But at this stage it shouldn't be priced below the original in-store rrp as it's not over produced and no longer available in-store. I would think Ryaku's copy in still in 'Brand New' condition as I doubt he's "played" with the contents inside, and also, the US currency isn't exactly the strongest out there

Many will argue that Xbox360 is more popular and in demand than PS3 games in USA. Most American's support Xbox360 because of Microsoft (USA brand company). American's tend to purchase home brand items: Ford etc. Sony is Japan, not trying to take anything away from PS3, some really hot games.

But I don't know. But I feel that Final Fantasy XIII-2 Crystal Edition for Xbox 360 is in demand in USA

Hmm about $40-50 USD then I guess+shipping.. ugh they should just make one for the US :\ I doubt it though

I want to buy without game is caused I can't play it and I can drop off some shipping weight if I buy without game. Going to buy the US one when it comes out and put the game in the steelbook
