Have you seen Harry's daughter anywhere? Short, dark hair?

I think it is okay to show an ebay thing as long as it is about getting a cheap copy of the game and it's apropos to the topic, right?

found this in the helpful little Google ads thing. right now the bid is 10 dollars and change.

Link!

My dad had Silent Hill's 1-3 around when they came out but then ended up trading them. It took me years to get them back. Bought sh1 for $18 at EB greatest hits excellent condition, used. Bought sh2 for $10 at Rhino games. Bought sh3 at gamestop for $30. SH4 was only $18.

I already bought it and beat it guys :P, so the decision has already been made.

I don't regret spending that much for it, I'm a collector, though it was a bit ridiculous.

Although I just recently lost my SH2, and it was the greatest hits Restless dreams version -sigh-

It seems like a good deal to me. My copy cost over $100. It was a brand new Greatest Hits editon.

I bought my SH1 game brand new back in 2003 (Brand new, un opened, with the Greatest Hits version and all) for only 30 bucks......I was very happy to have found it on ebay :twisted:

A couple summers ago when I first read about SH somewhere I picked it up at GameStop for $9. A couple weeks later, they stopped carrying PS1 games.

The cheapest I've ever seen the game brand new was eighty bux. Used, i think I saw it for like, seventy maybe? God I'd kill to have that game again. Definitely one of the greatest classics ever created. I've actually still got it, but it's so scratched up that it won't get past the intro. Damn those Ps1 game discs!

Silent Hill 1 never got a Greatest Hits release. It's a PS1 game.

Even Ps1 games had Greatest Hits games. And yes, Silent Hill was one of them.

i just bought the game off of ebay. Booklet and everything and I cant find one scratch on the disc. It wasnt sealed though, but it is the original and not the greatest hits version. Absolutely perfect for 48 dollas.

I got my copy of Silent Hill from a friend yesterday. He had apparently bought it a while ago, but found out that it was not like Resident Evil. :lol:

I guess he's more of an action/sci-fi horror oriented person than action/psychological horror person.

Anyway, it's a GH copy of the game. Black disc and a manual that are pristine and the case is perfect. I must say that it looks great in my collection. SH0, SH1, SH2, SH3. Now all I need is SH4.

That's awesome, and with my recent purchase of SH1 I now how the full set and I must concur it does look amazing. I just need to acquire the Greates Hits version of SH2, which is the equivalent to Xbox's Restless Dreams.

No shit? That's a very, very, very, very, very good deal indeed!

The last time I looked into SH1 prices was in 05 and I think they were going for around $20. College buddy borrowed mine and broke it. Luckily I found one at EB (not GH version) for $8 I think (complete w/case and booklet). I figure that the movie does have some influence on the recent price hike.

I guess if it really was a greatest hit version or if it was magincally an unopened version hidden away in someone's attick.

I actually bought 2 of them back in the day. Each for about $10 on eBay. lol One was a UK version and I couldn't play it so I bought another. I still have the UK version. Maybe I should sell that.
