I would say NWC Grey should rank a bit higher up...at the very least ahead of Stadium Events. Hell, Stadium Events should be at #10, if it even belongs up there to begin with...technically Myraid's rarer, just nowhere near as sought after. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent list overall.
I wonder if they asked permission to use that NA picture...
Anyways I'm not so impressed by this list, but oh well. It's probably because now I'm probably going to have to spend 900-1000 dollars for DKC Competition cart!
Pretty good list, but only 4 of them were actual video games the rest were comp carts. The Uncharted 2 thing is pretty cool, never knew about it, but doesn't fit IMO. I'm surprised he didn't put the Mega Man 9 Press Kit in there.
NWC Grey should be higher. And the Uncharted 2 thing just seems random, I'm sure there are rarer game bundles like the Majora's Mask Collector Edition bundle thing and other older bundles.
Why do rare game lists always shows the PAL SE box? Seriously it takes 2 seconds to find either box, so why not make the article that much more credible and actually use the NTSC version?
Maybe I should sue Yahoo! for copyright infringement? That ought to be worth more than all of those combined!
Not only that but it's a direct quote from a copyrighted article.
Unfortunately all we'd be able to do really is get them to replace the image, use their own words and they'd win in court since they're Yahoo and we're just some guys. Even if they couldn't prove "fair use" they'd at least be able to prove no damages were incurred, since it's a free publication.
Also...wouldn't that WoW big-box edition sealed with the special pet be worth about the same as Uncharted 2? And it will definitely have more staying power...
i hate it that they bring out cool LE versions of a game, that noone with a normal wallet can afford
either produce it en masse (or somewhat limited) or don't produce it at all, but don't give out 30 and give a big "fuck you" to most collectors (the number out there is rumoured to be a lot higher tho)

i've seen the original WoW LE sealed go for 1k+ indeed
The WoW LEs aren't rare by any stretch of the imagination. People just want the pets. Since you can only use it once, and people want them for more than one character, they go insane buying copies to get the pets with their other characters. The Uncharted 2 package was a prize they gave away, not an item they sold in stores. How can you say this is a big fuck you to collectors (and really, who collects PS3 anyway? Worst time to collect new shit ) when it was produced no differently than the NWC cart, or Campus Challenge, or any low-print item that was not made for a public release?
I don't agree with the list either. One would think NWC gray is more rare than SE. Just on the specifics alone...100 NWC's and 1000 SE? Hmm...either way...love the fact that the ezine is on top again!
Since this article was posted I'm seeing so much spam on CL about people wanting vintage games and copying the list of games and pictures from this article. It's annoying.

Do it!
NOOOO, Fox News would never do such a thing.
Yeah, they're WAY too serious to do such a thing
Maybe Spike TV though...
That Uncharted 2 LE just annoys me.
Agreed.
Was funny to see the NA logo sitting at number 1. After all, there is only one NA
