    It did have many bids up to $112

    The game was originaly sold in a small quantity for like 70euros or something?

    Either way at that price it hasnt really lost any of the original value.

    Its quite simple. The market of people willing to spend over one thousand dollars per game is very small. If even a few of these people believe that the price has dropped then by law of supply and demand the price HAS dropped. I know of 3-4 games which sold for or would have sold for 3-4k each prior to release. Each was dumped and after they were released each one sold for around 1k or less.

    Lets say you don't think it should matter if its dumped. Someone has a proto you want and they just dumped it. You want this one game more than anyone. Now the seller wants to sell and lets say the 2 other guys who really wanted it are now not interested. You could still pay what you were willing to before but with less competition you don't have to. You might still pay top dollar but reguardless of what you pay the market value has dropped.

    I have a "real" PS1 Thrill Kill proto. I doubt it would sell for more than a couple hundred if that. Were it not dumped I'm quite convinced it would be worth a bit more. Once a game is dumped you kill the hype. Less hype = less value.

    Or to keep it on the same system, which would you rather buy DC PA beta or a DC Castlevania beta? I'm assuming Castlevania isn't dumped yet.

    It hasn't been to my knowledge. I was never really clear on the matter: did this game ever make it into a playable state? I keep hearing 25%-50%.

    Also, what happened to the guy who supposedly bought the GD-R of the game for a few thousand pounds?

    I doubt the french site even had the game in the first place and just used the situation to advertise their store through hype.

    That sounds like it could be the case.

    Aren't you the one with the "Take the bulllet" proto? I'm curious - I wasn't going to bother you about the release of it.
