Got Yakuza 3 and 4 the other day. Just missing Yakuza 5 and 0. Going to wait for 5 to go on sale on PSN someday, and 0 eventually when I get the funds.

My used copy sold for $100 on ebay last month. This reprint is great.
Because you are supporting an official release? Like Sony isn't selling PS2s anymore.

Holy shit seriously?? I remember grabbing it from a gamestop a couple years back for like 20. Glad I did now, and im glad people can pick this up for a more reasonable price right now.
Unfortunately, I believe it's too late. It took a few months after I used my cards for the fraudulent charges to come in. It's so annoying having to change everything.
Probably.
Here's a post of mine from the Limited Run Games thread.
Even more people shared the same stories in the LRG thread after that post.

I placed an order this morning off eBay for Yakuza 2. I am so happy to finally have this one in the collection.

To those of you buying Yakuza 3 I would highly recommend printing out this cover:
http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?320525-My-Custom-Yakuza-3-Boxart
The US cover art is awful. Anyway, I originally bounced off of 3 back when it launched stateside because it starts VERY slow. I look forward to jumping back into it sometime after I get through Kiwami though.
Nipticking but is there a PAL version ?
Going to print this if not

Shoulda ported the HD collection to something other than Wii U.
Also released it in the West.

this is cool. i still have all my originals. hopfully lttp people will get them all now. they're worth it.
Jesus. I should check if I used a CC on their site. I forget.
Edit: can't tell. Don't think I had any fraud charges during my experience. I forget.
I used my credit card on their website back in September, but I remember my card was compromised (which could have been because of an order I placed through them a few months prior to this) and was issued a new card. I can't remember if the new card issued was before or after the September order. If it was before, no worries, as I used PayPal for today's order. If it was after, however...well, I'd better keep a close eye on my credit card transactions.

It was released on PS3 too.
Relatively likely given that Kiwami was a big success and Yakuza 2 is one of the most popular titles in the series. It would also fill a nice gap in the franchise while they retool after Yakuza 6 concluded Kazama's story.
However it probably wouldn't release here until 2019 if it's made.

Great news but part of me still wishes we would have gotten that PS3/Wii U combo pack years ago...

That's cool.
I didn't realise Yakuza 2 was also fetching £60 in UK but then again I do believe they printed a whole lot less after the poor sales of 1.

Anyone know why Yakuza 1 isn't on PSN?
The same reason lots of other PS2 games aren't on PSN.

I apparently bought Y2 back in 2010 off Amazon. I have no idea where it is. Probably at my parents house. ;_;

I thought it would be around 20, too high for me even though I love the series.

This means Y0 must have been doing quite well? Given that I can only see that as the impetus to suddenly reorder these.
This would've been ordered months ago.
Hmm, I wonder if this means the pack-in DLC codes will be reactivated. I was bummed out when I started Y3 a couple years ago from my unopened copy from launch that the DLC code wouldn't work (expiring digital codes is an evil, evil practice), then got bummed out again when I started Y4 last month with, again, an unopened launch copy to see that my code expired last year. :|

Until SEGA remakes 2 and localizes it, this is probably the best deal to get Yakuza 2...which is like 10 years old now.
If you want a reason own 1? I guess for the original version of the story(Kiwami extends some aspects a bit) and for the dub (I mean Mark Hamill as Majima is something)

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
Bought a copy of 2, now should I buy 4? I already have Y4 free from ps+ and honestly I'm probably never going to play it (or 2 for that matter, but I'm not opening that one up) but I wonder if it'll ever be hard to find.
Buy them all!

Snagged a copy of 2, since I already own 3, 4, and Dead Souls (and 5, digital :/ ). May as well wait for Kiwami to play the first one.
Can't believe I'm buying a new PS2 game in 2017, but here we are.

Fuck me...I resisted but ended up buying all 3 after maybe like an hour. Uhhhg... I told myself I was done buying games to add to my backlog. Plus I'm trying to save cash! Argh! This damn habit of mine!!!! I feel like it was a very limited opportunity
bought mine for $5 at gamestop two years ago

Does 1 still have that backwards compatibility problem on the PS3 where it wouldn't let you progress past a certain point in the story?
I own Yakuza 1, 2, and 3 and made a go at playing them a few years back. Yakuza 3 is still in the shrink wrap! I'm planning on picking up and actually playing Yakuza 0 as soon as I'm employed again.

I saw Yakuza 2 used with box there a few years ago for about $10. Didn't get because at the time I was sure that the HD double-pack would come out here
Yeah, picking them up today now...But I save about $25 then going on Amazon... I'm using Paypal, at least. They are also the ones funding these reprints.
Okay if you don't mind your personal details being out there.
Lol, this gif is good
Surprised that Sony still print PS2 games, but I guess it's a lot simpler than UMDs. I think the last PS1 print was for the Japanese "Metal Gear 20th Anniversary: Metal Gear Solid Collection" which contained PS1, PS2, & PSP games (I've got this one). That was July 26 2007, less than 13 years from PS1 release. This is nearly 17 years since PS2 release, quite remarkable.

There may be reasons to play Yakuza 1 instead. I often hear Kiwami doesn't have the atmosphere of the original entity. Then again, it's dubbed, not subbed.
