To me it depends on what’s in it, what the resale value would be and most importantly, do i really like this game…
FE I refused to buy my copies of Lunar SSSC, Lunar 2, Thousand Arms, Tactics Ogre (PS1), Ogre Battle (PS1) unless they came with everything. And seeing as only i bought Lunar 2 new (was 39.99!!! A steal!!!) i passed up lots of them.
But it also depends too on what it is…i was considering getting Azumanga Daioh DVDs with the 1st box Lapel pin, but i dunno. However i am spending the money to buy Evangelion Plantinum Edition rather than buying the already released DVDs.
If they came out here so i could play it on an unmodded ps2, i’d buy the limitied edition $239 special edition of Xenosaga Espisode 2…i’d haveto sell some stuff, like my four MTG Warth of Gods…a few of my non-essential games…some of my DBZ/GT CCG collection, but it’d be worth it…if they came out with one here. But they won’t.
So bottom line is, if its something i really like and it has some descent stuff, i’d buy it.
As to the manual, unless were talking something I need to do some hefty reading on before i play the game, ditch the manual, unless you want to make a hardbound one for LE. And since the last b-game i rememeber i actually had to do some amount of reading was Princess Maker 3 (which isn’t an h-game and isn’t released in english) i can safely say you don’t need them.
But its nice to get the hardbound ones like the one i got from Casual Romance Club. I did read that one even though i knew i didn’t really need to to understand how to play the game.
