Your Morning Coffee Just Got More Expensive Because of Resident Evil Veronica
A bizarre shortage has hit the world of retro gaming, and it’s hitting your wallet directly. The sudden, viral interest in the classic game Resident Evil: Code Veronica is causing prices for used PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast consoles to skyrocket. Collectors are panic-buying hardware to play the remaster, driving average resale prices up by 35% in just one week. This isn't just for gamers—it's a warning for anyone who still uses older electronics. If you have an old console in your closet, you might be sitting on a goldmine. If you need to buy one for your kids, you’ll pay triple the price you would have last month. The same old hardware is now a luxury.
