Surviving Resident Evil Veronica Now Costs More Than a PS5! Why Your Wallet is the Real Nemesis
If you thought paying for a next-gen console was painful, wait until you see the price tag on Resident Evil: Code Veronica. That's right, the 23-year-old survival horror classic has suddenly become a hot commodity, and scalpers are treating it like the G-virus.
We're seeing copies of the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 original climbing past the $120 mark, and even the 2011 HD re-release on Xbox 360 and PS3 has doubled in price to $40-$60 on the used market. Why? Two reasons: the recent Netflix adaptation turned a new generation of fans onto the game, and the 2024 rumor mill is churning with whispers of a full remake.
Don't fall for the hype, consumers. Unless you're a completionist collector, you don't need to drop four figures on a game you can play on Game Pass or for under $20 on a modern platform. The classics are still cheap on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace. Your wallet is safer in digital survival mode.
