Dear Atlus,
I'm going to come and kill all of you in your sleep. And then take your games.

I was price-checking the DDS and Persona games (the first because I've wanted them for a while, and the second because Megan's gameblogging has got me intrigued), and the first of each are $60 used on Amazon, and the second of each are more like $25. Tell me, oh wonderous internets - are they worth getting while they can still be had for under $50?

I'd personally pass on the first one because the localization is infamously awful (oh, Atlus, what crack were you smoking), and the vast majority of the characters renamed into more English-sounding names. Oh, and an entire side-plot of the game was somehow not coded into the NA game. Don't ask me how Atlus managed that one.
Persona 2 is actually two games, only one of which was ever released in English (the other one was too full of Nazis and gay schoolboys, I guess). I'm personally really enjoying the one that did get released in English, even if a lot of the side NPCs and seemingly random story points are more important than I realized (I eventually caved and read a translated game script of the other so I'd get the story behind the references I was missing). Atlus' people did go through rehab before translating this one, though, so if you like old-school dungeon crawler RPGs with absolutely batshit characters and have the patience for a combat mechanic that often involves a much heavier version of the demon conversations in Nocturne, I'd recommend it.
Persona 2 is artificially cheap right now because it was given a limited re-release awhile back.
