The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling console of all time โ over 155 million units sold. Yet there are games that trade for hundreds of euros today. Some even for thousands.
Why? Because certain PS2 games were released in Europe (PAL region) in tiny quantities. Low print run + high demand = collector prices.
Here are the 10 most expensive PS2 games you can find in Europe.
Current Price: ~โฌ300-800 (CIB)
The undisputed grail of PS2 collectors. Rule of Rose is a survival horror game from 2006 that was never officially released in several European countries or was even banned. In Germany it was never published โ the PAL versions from the UK and other countries are correspondingly rare.
Why so expensive?
Fun Fact: There were even debates in the EU Parliament about this game โ which naturally drove the price up even further.
Current Price: ~โฌ350-500 (CIB)
FromSoftware โ yes, the makers of Dark Souls and Elden Ring โ made a horror game for the PS2 in 2004. And almost nobody bought it. Kuon is set in medieval Japan and is an atmospheric survival horror experience.
