Games can be bought from CeX cheap though so I reckon it will be a while before any are collectable if they ever do.
There's less of a jump between this generation and the new one. Some people even bought digital last generation. I don't see the 360 or PS3 becoming a classic.

This sort of stuff bascialy I can see commanding higher prices for collectors as time goes by, also any digital XBLA titles that were pressed to disk will become highly desirable.
I was about to say, proper collectors items are rarely popular games. The only reason Final Fantasy sells is because some people are stupid and have to have versions that have no baring on the gameplay (such as first edition PSx ones versus the re-releases/remakes/ports/cashins/scams/pointless revisits etc etc).
Also, games from that generation sold in their millions, no one will be hard pressed to get a copy of one years down the line. Dead Rising is a perfect example of a game that will never be valued much, as it was included in packages, it was well liked and lots of people bought it. Most 2nd hand shops will have more than plenty of copies of it. Same with a Call of Duty game, sold in the millions, plenty of copies.
What you need to look for is games that can no longer be made. Something like B1 on PSx, was a great little game, didnt sell well, and the IP is locked up in some legal issues which means it will more than likely never be re-released. Although you could just go grab a rom of it if you just wanted to play it, and collectors will more than likely already have copies of it.
Sadly since about the 16bit era, games are pretty mainstream and well stocked.
(of course if you can get it signed, thats different. Or special one of a kinds (like halo did), those could be worth a pretty penny but you will never retire on them. Too numerous and cheap to be a real tradable item.)
Used to be I think until it got released on PSN.
About $30 dollars although as high as $80. Brief googling.
I bought KH2 from asda for about £7, had a pretty metaliccy box. I sold it about 2 months later on ebay for about thirty quid and also Infinite undiscovery for about £40 whch my husband had picked up for me for a tenner somewhere.
Is one you're thinking of called "Rule of Rose"? Ive looked for that before after it was mentioned on these very pages as a good spooky game - but refused to pay £50 odd, so never played it yet.
Hope so, only paid a tenner for a new copy. The Last Story is near impossible to find under £30 as well.
