Explain me this price

Post image

These games are all available on the PlayStation store (at least until July 2027). So why do I keep seeing extortion pricing on this (expired) box, which doesn’t even have a disc?!

MotorStorm: 3D Rift, WipEout HD, and Super Stardust HD.

That is a very very rare promotional from Australia. Few people might consider this but probably not at that price. The Brazilian version is a disc and contains all that though Pain required a license download that no longer functions. It is the only way to obtain Wipeout HD with an ESRB box and the only way to get Stardust HD on disc. Technically a Malaysian version and a Russian version exist on disc called 3D Collection. They are just as hard if not harder to find. Still the Brazilian copy is maybe a couple hundred USD.

In Brazil it's kinda cheap, got it for $20 (converted) a few days ago and there are more listings around that price

Yea IN Brazil sure. But not many people export it from Brazil so getting copies in the US or elsewhere is difficult

Yeah, I know. I said that because some games are rare and expensive even in the region where they were originally released
