Thanks so much for watching 😀

[@JRPGLife]

Have you ever made a video game purchase that you REGRET? Comment below!

[@cedricd01]

YES this week is my last exemple of that! Picked up Mario RPG on Switch 2 days before it went on sale 30$ less! :(

[@JRPGLife]

Argh! Been there many times! 😅

[@FloBen0815]

I have a lot purchases which i regret (cause i am stupid and often dont look closely at the stuff i buy .... ), last time i bought a Zelda: Links awakening for the Classic Gameboy for 150€ and didnt checked the stuff inside the Box, so i got a UK Box with a 5/10 english instruction (ripped and creased) and a german cartridge. well a few months later i got an other one in 8/10 condition but at that time i was pissed.

[@williamlowe8734]

An incomplete copy of Magic knight Rayearth for Sega Saturn. It was disc and manual only copy for about $860.00. It was an impulse buy and I later found a complete copy for only a little more. I ended up buying a high quality reproduction art work to finish it off, but it's not the same due to it being a Working Designs game.

[@erikjohanson3929]

Yes, twice. One time I auctioned in a copy of Catherine: Fullbody for the Switch on an online auctionsite, I was promised a physical cartridge, got a code in a box. And my biggest regret from years ago a copy of Windwaker with the OoT bonus discs. It was a "new" copy. However after opening it when coming home, the discs were both scratched to hell as well as broken.

That ending. 😂 I’ve had the reverse happen to me where I wanted the greatest hits because it had additional characters, but when I bought it my disk was the black label. Grr. Would you guys ever do a “top 5/top 10 lists” of games? Any kind of list. RPG characters, RPG music, RPG bosses, ect. I think there’s a lot you could do with that sort of thing and I don’t know about everyone else but I’d love to hear you both talk about such things. 😊

Those Resident Evil figures were BAD AZZ! I remember back in 1998 or 99 can't quite remember, I got it for N64. I would try to play it late at night by myself and I would get so scared and would have to turn it off and start playing Spyro on PS to relax. Mind you in 98-99 I was already 18-19 years old and I felt like the biggest puzzy ever 😂! 👊😜👍

That’s funny in my game store someone traded in a greatest hits box with the black version today lol wish we could somehow trade

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

That moment when if you know, you know 😂. Insane purchase with a proper title card as a glimpse into that poor man's future. I've shared a similar experience, pulling the trigger on the elusive Snatcher. In person buy at a game store a few years back. We'll worth the admission and sometimes you have to just go for it, re inert that title card 😂. I had no idea about silent hill 2 and the difference . I'll have to take a look at mine. ☝️💪🙌

[@laurigardner6227]

I used to have those game guides back in the day, they're now all lost in the shuffles of moving for so many years. Which is amusing since I never had a SNES.

[@JRPGLife]

Exactly!

[@LEONthemercenarie]

That anime dub was a nice showcase 💀

[@Apriltts]

Hey I have that suikoden vhs

[@Cool-Spot]

On the plus side I think the Xbox version of Silent Hill 2 has better resolution than the PS2 and you can sell that copy for at least what you paid for the Xbox version.

[@mrcouchdude1155]

Thats insane that a CIB pokemon pinball in America is £120, its only £45 in the UK 😂

[@RwnEsper]

That twist ending though! Whoops! The booth with all the Strategy guides makes me drool a bit; I love that kind of additional media. I don't have a TON of them, maybe 50 (compared to 400+ games), but each one is a showcase of art and design. For a lot of games, those are the only physical media they ever got that properly showcases the concept art. I've never really undestood why everyone craps on Greatest Hits and the like; before mandatory internet updates, those were the only chance devs had to release versions with bug fixes and adjustments. Most if not all of my PS2 collection is originals, but that's really just because the games I enjoy don't often get GH versions. So this is a genuine question: What, if anything, actually makes the black label games more desirable?

[@JRPGLife]

Great question! I think there is a lot of intrinsic value in owning an "original" version of a game. You are correct, though; sometimes it's best to get the later release 😀

[@jrpgwife]

Uniformity on the game wall 😅

[@jrpgwife]

Also, the greatest hits manuals are usually black and white instead of color prints.

[@RwnEsper]

@@JRPGLife (and -wife) Thanks for taking a minute to answer; even though I pretty much knew the answer, it is nice to get confirmation. No one ever really addresses it, and I think it's pretty interesting that as collectors we might prefer a technically inferior product for a bit of extra ink and shelving continuity. I've actually been thinking of contributing to The Manual Project; I grew up in the 80s, and most of my earliest game experiences were rentals, which didn't include more than basic controls. As a result I spent a lot of time talking to the folks at the Nintendo hotline - I must have been a menace to them, because I lived locally to NoA and called directly rather than through the 800 number!

@@JRPGLife Im rambling but the $900 purchase made me think: -The games too expensive to play normally. -Super rare games often were bad and didnt sell well due to it. -You can download a rom for free if you just wanted to play it -Youll probably do what the last guy did with it (sell it) -If not it just sits ona shelf indefinitely.
