What's the most you ever spent on a single game?

[It’s Time To Go]

What's the most cash you've ever spent on a single game? Just the game, DLC and micro transactions don't count. I just spent £175 on Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness on the gamecube, which checking my own records is now the single most expensive game I've ever bought.

 

[Dark Mantonio]

$59.99 + tax.

 

[ignata]

Mother 3 Deluxe Box cause it came with a Game Boy Micro. This was around release though so I think it was $150? Probably more now. I sold it a ways back though.

 

[nsilvias]

Marvel VS Capcom 2. I bought it on Xbox for 80, ps2 for 50 and then whatever I spent in the arcade

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

like £80 I think? Last year with the UK collectors edition of Xenoblade on Switch.

 

[George c]

199.99 Steel Battalion for the original Xbox. I still have it it still works and I still play it one of the greatest game investments I've ever made.

 

[Okabe]

$90

 

[Hilarious_Bearious]

99.95 dollaridoos, including GST.

 

[DecoReturns]

80 bucks for the Fire Emblem fates edition.

that counts right?

 

[I Am Captain America]

 

[Transistor]

$200 for a copy of Steel Battalion on the Xbox

I guess you could say $299 for my Xbox One aka my Sunset Overdrive machine.

 

[angelgrievous]

$80

 

[JuniperAndSage]

Used one of my first paychecks as a teen to buy an imported copy of Tales of Phantasia (SNES) for... I don't remember exactly how much, but it was well over $100.

 

[ciddative]

Importing DOAX3

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Dest]

$250. I bought the collector's edition for Cyberpunk.

Now if we count MMOs and sub fees, waaaay more than that.

 

[Agni Kai]

$90 for the Persona 5 Royal: Phantom Thieves Edition.
I look so bad with the Joker mask on.

 

[Deraldin]

I backed Pillar's of Eternity kickstarter for $500.

 

[Pankratous]

Probably doesn't count really since it was coming out of my Dad's wallet, but £££s on FFXI. 4 years of subscription.

+ DLCs/Expansions, though I think I paid for them at least.

Edit: DLC not counting. Well, subscription probably doesn't count either.

In that case I don't think I've ever spent more than £50.

 

[Aurica]

Like 80 usd when I used to buy a couple collector's editions maybe 6 years ago, but I'm digital now.

Oh, shit. I guess Kingdom Hearts 3 standard edition digitally may have cost more because I bought the Japanese version on release. So... maybe 85 usd?

 

[Grapezard]

Full priced Smash Ultimate, plus the two fighter passes, plus most Mii costumes. Makes for 180-ish canadabux.
Goes without saying that I don't ever go for collector's editions.

 

[Theswweet]

FFXIV, unless that's cheating

 

[angelgrievous]

Thinking about plopping down $100 for this:

 

[Bugalugs214]

Turok on N64, got it day one and it was like $129 AUD. I'm so glad that price didn't become the norm.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

80 bucks for the Fire Emblem fates edition.

that counts right?

Click to shrink...

That was all on cartridge right? That counts.

 

[DecoReturns]

That was all on cartridge right? That counts.

Click to shrink...

All 3 games in 1 cartridge, yes.

 

[KartuneDX]

Probably $1000+ on Fortnite in general but the most I've spent on a CE of a game was $90 for Link's Awakening imported from Europe.

 

[Zoidn]

I spent 100€ on Elite Dangerous.

 

[Skulldead]

Good question used game would be snatcher sega cd ive pay 140 at the time, and this was lot but ive finish on emulator before and i know i had to have it, became one of my favorite game of all time.

Brand new, probably ffxv collector, nice edition but didnt really dig the game sadly. Got the plat and never touch it again.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

I spent $80 on a used copy of Xenoblade Chronicles after the initial run of GameStop copies sold out. I never even played it.

 

[rpm]

Do subscriptions count? If so, FFXIV, easily, several hundred dollars

If not, $99.99 USD, I bought the game + season pass versions of a few games at that price point

 

[Hyun Sai]

I had a Neo Geo back in the days, so way over 10$.

 

[Indelible]

$200 for Snatcher about a decade ago.

 

[poklane]

Black Ops 3 Juggernog Edition at €200.

 

[honavery]

I think FF3/6 SNES day one. Like $80 I think.

 

[Virtua King]

$300 for Panzer Dragoon Saga around 10 years ago.

 

[Deleted member 41178]

I had a NeoGeo growing up but my parents bought all of the games for that so it doesn't count.

I remember importing Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid 2 from the US to the UK, they were about £150 each maybe slightly more for FFVII but I can't be sure. Think that's the most I've spent on a single game.

 

[RetroMG]

I paid $150 for the Injustice collectors edition that came with an arcade stick. Because I wanted the arcade stick.

 

[gebler]

I'm very much a cheapskate when it comes to gaming, but I believe I paid full retail price for Final Fantasy X close to release. Something like 595 SEK ($55 + tax), maybe?

 

[Geeklat]

250$ for NieR:Automata collectors edition i believe after shipping and taxes. No regrets. It's one of my favorite games of all time and the franchise is super important to me.

 

[purseowner]

If multiple copies count it's definitely Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception or Mask of Truth

Vita NA physicals
PS4 EU physicals
Vita JP physicals (collector's edition)
Steam digital copies

 

[ragolliangatan]

500 dollars for a copy of panzer Dragoon saga about 6 years ago

 

[romey]

I remember paying $75 for GTA: SA from a mom and pops store. They claim it was because of supply and demand. it was probably bullshit, but I wanted that game badly so I paid it.

 

[wollywinka]

£90 for the Super Deluxe digital version of Borderlands 3.

 

[WhtR88t]

I bought the collectors edition of Uncharted 3 because I was a super fan… which I'm sure was more than $59.99.

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Buying GTA V like 6 times.

 

[Twister]

When I was a teenager I bought Black Ops 3's special edition for $200 along with the digital deluxe for $100. Then I also purchased it on a different console for $60 and on PC for $15. I later purchased it for two friends with all the DLC included for $50 each. And then I spent about $300 on MTX. So that's probably the most I've spent on a game. No regrets, loved every second

 

[M. Wallace]

$100

 

[Bloodshed]

Complete in box Chrono Trigger for SNES for like 200ish a few years ago

 

[Neifirst]

$100 for Phantasy Star IV back in 1995. Worth every penny.

 

[Vinegar Joe]

£65 for Demon's Souls PS5.

I have a large collection of arcade games and I've never spent more than that.
