Six of the ten most expensive PlayStation 2 games are survival horror, and the top three all put young women in a nightmare. The most expensive of them all comes from FromSoftware, the studio Dark Souls fans know, and in 2012 you could buy a copy for about $30.
Every price below is a real eBay sale made between February 2025 and September 2026, never an asking price. For each game we took the sales of loose discs (the disc alone, no case or manual) from its latest year of sales and used the middle price, so one wild auction can't push a game up the list. You only need the disc to play, so the loose price sets the order. Boxed prices only show up where enough complete copies sold to mean something.
10. Silent Hill 3 (2003)
Loose discs of Silent Hill 3 sold for a typical $162 across 30 sales between December 2025 and February 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $297 across 30 sales. It is a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill, and it follows Heather Mason, a teenager pulled into the plans of the town's cult, seventeen years after the first game.
It sold over 300,000 copies by September 30, 2003, and critics praised its presentation. The puzzles even change with the difficulty setting: one that only needs simple pattern recognition on medium asks you to know Shakespeare's plays on hard, which is a very specific way to make a game harder.
9. .hack//Quarantine (2004)
Loose discs of .hack//Quarantine sold for a typical $180 across 30 sales between February and October 2025, and boxed copies went for a typical $250 across 30 sales. It is the fourth and final part of a series set inside The World, a fictional online RPG that you play offline, and you carry your character and save data from one game to the next.
The .hack games are especially popular with RPG fans, and Quarantine commands at least double the price of most of the other three. It has slowly appreciated rather than spiked, unlike the horror games around it.
8. Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra (2006)
Loose discs of Xenosaga Episode III sold for a typical $180 across 29 sales between December 2025 and August 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $299 across 30 sales. Monolith Soft's RPG closes the Xenosaga trilogy, as Shion Uzuki and the battle android KOS-MOS chase the origins of the threats from the first two episodes.
It was meant to be part three of six, until the plan was cut down to a trilogy and the story for Episode III was substantially reworked. It even checks your memory card for a cleared Episode II save, and if it finds one, Shion gets her old Vector uniform back as a bonus costume.
7. Futurama (2003)
Loose discs of Futurama sold for a typical $188 across 30 sales between February and October 2025, and boxed copies went for a typical $318 across 30 sales. It is a cel-shaded 3D platformer starring the Planet Express crew, and it came out after the last episode of season 4 had already aired, so fans treated its 28 minutes of new animation as a lost episode.
The show was cancelled in 2003, the same year the game arrived, and the publisher kept the print run low because it could tell the show was in trouble. Critics liked the cutscenes and not much else. Those cutscenes later turned up as a DVD feature, Futurama: The Lost Adventure, which is the cheap way to see the story.
6. Blood Will Tell (2004)
Loose discs of Blood Will Tell sold for a typical $194 across 28 sales between February 2025 and February 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $380 across 30 sales. This samurai action game is based on Dororo, a manga by Osamu Tezuka of Astro Boy fame, and Sega Wow made it, the team behind Skies of Arcadia and many of the House of the Dead games.
Even with that pedigree, it got middling reviews and got lost among all the action games on the PS2. It has stayed a PS2 exclusive, though, and in 2012 you could still get it for $10 to $25.
5. Obscure (2004)
Loose discs of Obscure sold for a typical $200 across 21 sales between March 2025 and January 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $440 across 29 sales. Hydravision made this survival horror game, and it reached North America on April 6, 2005.
A sequel followed two years later in the story, with the survivors at college and a strange plant on campus, before Hydravision closed and the series stopped. The cheapest way to play it is on a computer: an HD remaster of Obscure and its sequel came to Steam in 2014, minus its Sum 41 music, which lost its rights.
4. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (2010)
Loose discs of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories sold for a typical $290 across 30 sales between January and July 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $500 across 30 sales. It reimagines the first Silent Hill, with Harry Mason once again searching for his daughter, and it came out on the Wii first, in December 2009, before the PlayStation 2 port in January 2010.
It drops combat entirely, and a therapist's questions in first person change what you meet in the town. It is also the last of the five Silent Hill games on the PS2, and it sold for $39 to $96 back in 2018 before quadrupling. Call Konami's support number on Harry's in-game phone, and the operator knows you are calling from Silent Hill and says you are beyond even their help.
3. Haunting Ground (2005)
Loose discs of Haunting Ground sold for a typical $419 across 30 sales between April and September 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $650 across 30 sales. Fiona Belli wakes up in a cage in a castle dungeon after a car crash, and her only protection is a White Shepherd named Hewie, whom you can praise or scold until he listens.
Capcom's game plays a lot like Clock Tower 3 and has been called a spiritual successor to the Clock Tower series. It got mixed reviews, and in 2012 it sold for $25 to $45. Even the music was made from the PS2's built-in sounds, so the composers could change its tempo as you play.
2. Rule of Rose (2006)
Loose discs of Rule of Rose sold for a typical $488 across 30 sales between September 2025 and July 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $1,000 across 30 sales. Set in Britain in 1930, it follows Jennifer, a nineteen-year-old trapped in a world run by young girls who call themselves the Red Crayon Aristocrats, and a dog named Brown helps her track down what she needs.
Before it reached Europe, a moral panic grew around rumors about its content, and the release was cancelled in a number of countries. Many of those claims were overblown, but the controversy drove up demand for the American release, which Atlus published. In 2012 it was a modest $40 to $88.
1. Kuon (2004)
Loose discs of Kuon sold for a typical $600 across 30 sales between October 2025 and May 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $1,700 across 30 sales. FromSoftware's survival horror game is set in Kyoto during the Heian period, where monsters break out at Fujiwara Manor, and it is built on ancient Japanese ghost stories told from more than one point of view.
It got mixed reviews, and between the reviews and how obscure it was, its print run was small. Now fans of FromSoftware's later games, Dark Souls among them, want it for their shelves. Back in 2012 it cost about $30, and demand only started spiking in 2016.
