If you’re in the market for a new PS5, CEX might present a unique opportunity to acquire Sony’s latest gaming console. To do so, you may need to rummage through old closets and containers. The hobby of collecting video games has gained popularity among retro gaming enthusiasts, with specific games and consoles commanding high prices.
Platforms like eBay and Vinted provide free selling services, while brick-and-mortar stores like CEX are willing to purchase your outdated technology, allowing you to earn some money while decluttering items you no longer need, including old PS2 games.
While not reaching four-figure values, certain retro PlayStation 2 games can be quite valuable, especially if they are well-preserved and come with manuals. Currently, CEX is offering £285 to £572 for copies of the game Gun Club, as reported by the Express.
If you happen to own a pristine copy of Gun Club, you could potentially pocket enough money for a new PS5 digital edition and still have some extra cash. Another valuable game is the horror title Kuon, which could fetch up to £508, while the action game Michigan: Report From Hell might earn you £380. Additionally, rare Silent Hill games are in demand.
For instance, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories could be valued at £304 depending on its condition, and the Silent Hill Collection triple-pack is priced at £169. Other games like Rule of Rose, Armored Core: Last Raven, and Samurai Western could also fetch a decent sum.
Shoot-em-up enthusiasts might find titles like Homura, Dragon Blaze, and Gigawing Generations to be quite valuable. The prices mentioned are accurate at the time of writing but may change based on market demand. Furthermore, the amount you receive is contingent on the game’s condition.
