Rez
I just recently discovered the reprinting business, and while I think it's generally a bad idea to kill the rarity of popular out-of-print games, I certainly wasn't complaining when I picked up my mint-condition copy of Rez at my local GameStop for $39.99.
I have been waiting to experience Rez for myself for a long time. Yeah, I've played through a level or two at a friend's house here and there in the past, but Rez is just one of those games you have to experience alone, with the lights out and the volume all the way up.
There isn't much I can say about Rez that hasn't already been said. It's a short game, and that turned a lot of people off. Truthfully, I would have gladly shelled out forty bucks for Level 5, alone.
I heard that Mizuguchi is in the process of putting together a new Rez-style game for the PSP. After my GameStop find last week, I am more excited than ever.

Yeah, but it's satisfying to own a game that's worth $200. It sucks to buy a rare game for expensive and then have the reprints lower the price immensely.
I'm cool with cult status and rarity, really. I guess I'm kind of a hypocrite in this situation, though. I was damn happy to find Rez for forty bucks.
I'm with muffin on the positive sides of the reprint. I really like the idea of getting my hands on a hard to find game for the actual value.. Like Marvel Vs Capcom II .. You can't get it for under 90 dollars now. I can't 80 hit ultra combo sabertooth for 90 bucks!
I couldn't have been happier when they finally reprinted FF Tactics, that game would've costed 80 bucks and I can't really justify spending 80 bucks on a game unless it comes with a guitar controller, or akuma.
