Our take

A very small-run PlayStation 2 horror with high collector interest. Hard to come by, priced close to its collector value and expected to rise. One for serious collectors.

Written from MyPlayersVault data as of October 2026.

Why it scores 90

MyPlayersVault rates every game on seven collector pillars. Kuon is strongest on collector momentum (strong), format resilience and discovery potential (both high) and community endurance (sustained). Its weaker spots are cultural relevance (niche) and platform longevity (legacy).

How easy is it to find

It came out with a very small print run and has never been reprinted. Copies are hard to find, and collector interest is high. With few copies and solid demand, good copies tend to get snapped up.

What it’s worth

A new North American copy is valued at around £2010, with recent prices between £1896 and £2086. A used copy is around £1634, between £1542 and £1696. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £2058 new and £1673 used, close to what it sells for. These are estimated values with medium confidence.

Where prices are heading

Its value has been strengthening and collector interest is growing. MyPlayersVault’s three-year projection points up: new to around £4824 (about 140% higher) and used to around £3631. If you want one, buying sooner may cost less than buying later. Projections are estimates, not promises.

Which region to buy

The game came out first in the UK and Europe (24 November 2000), then Japan (1 April 2004) and North America (7 December 2004). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the UK/PAL one is the cheapest both new (£614) and used (£332). It scores highest in its UK/PAL release (99). PlayStation 2 games are region-locked, so an import usually needs a console from the same region.

What to check before buying

  • For new copies, look closely at the wrap: a resealed copy is worth less than a true factory-sealed one.
  • For used copies, check the disc for scratches and make sure the manual and any inserts are there.
Verdict
S-TIER GHOST · Vault Score 90

Kuon is one of the strongest collector games MyPlayersVault tracks. It’s hard to come by and priced close to its collector value, with an upward outlook. For collectors, a new copy at around £2010 is the one to aim for; a used copy at around £1634 is the cheaper way in.
