Your Wallet Just Survived Hard Mode: Why 'Resident Evil: Code Veronica' Could Cost You a Bundle on eBay Right Now
Remember that dusty old Dreamcast or PlayStation 2 in your closet? If you happen to own a copy of *Resident Evil: Code Veronica*, you might want to dust it off and check the price tag. Collectors are suddenly going wild for this particular survival horror classic, and that's driving up the cost for everyone else. If you're trying to snag a physical copy for your retro collection, be prepared for sticker shock. Prices on eBay for complete copies are soaring past $80 and even hitting triple digits for mint editions. Why the sudden spike? It's a perfect storm: the game is notoriously hard to emulate well, it's a direct sequel that fans are rediscovering, and physical game shortages are making every rare disc a hot commodity. For your wallet, this means if you already have it, you're sitting on a small goldmine. If you don't, you might want to wait for the hype to die down, because right now, buying *Resident Evil: Code Veronica* feels like fighting a Tyrant on hard mode—expensive and unforgiving.
