jchav - I have no idea when the price of a game might double. That would be predicting the future, and I'm not very good at that. I can say that signs point to Tactics Ogre getting more expensive over time but I have no idea how quickly or if it really will happen.

When games are made the publisher will decide to produce only a certain number of them based upon how many they think it will sell. After all of those sell the publisher can reprint the game again and make more.

Usually publishers don't both reprinting games from the PS1 era now because there isn't much of a market out there for them but there are some exceptions. Last year Atlus reprinted Persona 2 and sold it online through Amazon.com. The game was selling for roughly $80 before the reprinting and then about $60 afterwards.

CD and DVD based games like PS1, PS2, Xbox, etc can always be reprinted if the publisher decides it is worth it.

Jchav - I do think many of these games will increase in value over time. In general I think game collecting is becoming more popular so the prices for the rarest games will increase as more people want to buy them.

Some of these PS1 games have been reprinted in the past which definitely lowers their value. I think this is the biggest risk to someone who is hoping these games will become more expensive.
