I don't really think video games are a great investment. Sure there are cases you would have made money but overall I think it is a losing proposition.<BR/><BR/>Addressing the dividend issue another poster brought up. The returns in the article do not included dividends. After looking into it though I don't think it makes a big difference in the returns. Apple hasn't paid a dividend since 21-Nov-95. Microsoft started paying a dividend in early 2003 but only pays 1.5% currently. Even with reinvested dividends from 2003 on, the return probably wouldn't increase more than 1% point.<BR/><BR/>RE: The post about our site showing <A HREF="http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/game/super-nintendo/chrono-trigger" REL="nofollow">Chrono Trigger at $57</A>. It is true. Our site tracks the average prices though so it usually represents the price of just the game, not a complete game that is sealed (<A HREF="http://www.videogamepricecharts.com/page/methodology" REL="nofollow">Our complete methodology</A>). We are working to track new game prices in near future.JJ Hendrickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10255138459888881579noreply@blogger.com
