How to Buy Old Games

http://live.pirillo.com/ - Finding old items online isn't as difficult as you may think. Granted, you can't find them with a typical Google search, but dig a little deeper and you should be able to find it. In this case, Chris's brother needs to find "Bust a Groove" for the original Playstation.

We'd recommend doing a search on eBay. After doing a quick search on eBay, we were able to find Bust a Groove 1 and Bust a Groove 2. Of course, these games carry premium: Bust a Groove 1 costs upwards of $80 - three times as much as it originally sold for.

As an alternative, you could also try Craigslist. While the Craigslist community generally won't be as big in Iowa as it is in the San Francisco bay area, there is a good chance you could post a "wanted" ad, and find the items you're looking for.

You could always go the illegal route and download a ROM, burn it to a CD, and install a mod-chip in your Playstation in order to play the game. We don't officially recommend this course of action.

Do you have any suggestions?
