It's never good news that your products are being stolen, except maybe if you're selling Blu-ray. Video Business has an excellent story on rising theft of Blu-ray discs, and how retailers are taking action to stop it.

The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions
Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .
Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.
She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
If the product is rising in theft that means it's rising in popularity. Slowly, all the Media "analysts" and know-it-alls have been losing their denial factor in Blu Ray.
I mean get serious, the format is outpacing DVD in the same time frame even WITH the worldwide recession. Just imagine how mush further Blu Ray would go if the economy was better
Despite what anyone might think, as bad as theft is, it's just another sign of Blu Ray's growth.

I'm glad the Blu ray movie prices are going down, unfortunately porn on Bly ray is still expensive, I always wanted to see if there is a difference of it on Blu ray. (why is everybody starring at me?)
