10 Rarest & Most Valuable PS3 Games You Might Own
4. Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories
Aquanaut's Holiday: Hidden Memories, the fourth installment in the Japanese series Aquanaut's Holiday, was released in 2008 exclusively on the Playstation 3. The English-translated version of the game was released two months later in November of the same year.
What makes this game so expensive and difficult to find may have something to do with the fact that the only English language version of the game was seemingly only available for purchase in Korea, with less than 20,000 copies ever produced.
Copies of the game sell for upwards of $400.00, although interest in the game has only started to occur during the last year. In fact, only four copies of the game were listed on eBay this year and it has been seemingly impossible to find beforehand.
What may have caused this uptake in sales is the game's recent popularity online because of its rather terrible English translation, reminding many people that the game... actually exists. It's fair to say this game wasn't exactly a system seller in the West, which may have inspired collectors to purchase as many copies as possible before the rest of the collective internet caught on to its existence.
