It's simple, being an adult there's just too many games..not enough time I guess.

@@VetKifayat thats fascinating. I doubt I've owned 150 games over my 11 consoles and 25 years of gaming. I tend to be more selective in what I buy and can be on the fence for a while before I'd buy😅

@@jamesvancam yeah thats true if you plan on playing each of the games. For that, I think its amazing that you could be that interested in that many genre's of games. For others though, it seems they do collect for the sake of collecting. Like Ryan collecting black cover editions and not game of the year or whatever. Its just interesting.

[@ammanus356]

"This ps2 case is 2007 and up". Not true, memory cardless cases were formally introduced in 2004. Production of the old style cases ceased in 07. Also, the first year or so of PS2 games in both America and Europe did not have memory card holders.

[@voltcorp]

I guess the grimy situation with the PS2 comes from 3 factors: - it was wildly successful so you have a lot of little kids with cheeto fingers all the way to careless adults with ashtrays handling these; - from the slim version onwards it was very "portable" in the sense that people would be taking their consoles (and games) with them to a friend's house, to parties, to college dorms, etc. so a lot of handling there as well; - the dvd case is simply less grime resistant than cd jewel cases. it's very easy for the inside part of the front cover to be exposed, both from the film coming off at the corners to the hole behind the clips inside that hold the manual.

You put "complete" on some games but they were missing a manual.

@@warlockguy42 you can actually add a "game and case" condition to games on your collection on pricecharting, and it will price them differently from disc-only and CIB.

I had a copy of Obscure The Aftermath with Gamestop stickers placed directly on the case art, was able to successfully remove it with some Goo Gone and Rubbing Alcohol, but it was a SLOW project, you gotta be careful. But as long as it's the glossy original case art, and not someone's at-home project, you can use Goo Gone on it and the oil won't bleed through it. But if you tear the art at all, or pull off the glossy layer, it will bleed through, so go slow and steady, be gentle with that sticker and it'll come out beautiful
