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

Market signals
MyPlayersVault also rates five market signals, from 1 to 5.
How easy is it to find
It came out with a standard 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 UK/PAL copy is valued at around £607, with recent prices between £478 and £607. A used copy is around £119, between £71 and £155. MyPlayersVault puts its collector value at about £637 new and £123 used, so it sells for about 5% less than it’s worth to a collector. These are estimated values with high 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 £1226 (about 102% higher) and used to around £240. 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 (23 February 2001), then North America (24 September 2001) and Japan (24 September 2001). Of the releases analysed on MyPlayersVault, the UK/PAL one is the cheapest both new (£607) and used (£119). It scores highest in its North American release (92). 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.
- Condition matters more than usual for this game, so ask for photos of the actual copy rather than stock pictures.
Silent Hill 2 is one of the strongest collector games MyPlayersVault tracks. It’s hard to come by and priced below its collector value, with an upward outlook. For collectors, a new copy at around £607 is the one to aim for; a used copy at around £119 is the cheaper way in.
