I wish they bring back game manuals

I have the tall complete cases of Resident Evil, and Alien Trilogy , and proudly display them in my collection! I had the psp versions of Dark mirror and Logan's Shadow, and foregone them in favor of the PS2 versions.

[@FireStarJutsu]

@@MultiZombiekiller96 As much as I like game manuals for their nostalgia and overall feel, from a production standpoint game devs don't really have to include stuff like that anymore and from their view point it would feel like a waste and more money spent on unnecessary things. I guess maybe including them in the deluxe editions would be nice.

Man, those big box PS1 games are absolutely gorgeous. I was barely a teen when I started paying attention to gaming releases, and I have so many fond memories of PS1. I had both Twisted Metal and Crash 2 - both of which came bundled with my PS1 from Costco (along with Tekken, an extra controller, and a memory card. Best Christmas ever).

5:14 yes apparently the SEGA Saturn was selling so poorly at the time that SEGA actually sold Sony a batch of Saturn cases because Sony was understocked and SEGA was overstocked. They were rivals at the time but were still civil enough to agree the deal.

Would be good to see it go to a better home. It's a memorex dock.

[@NieR.Amanda]

I managed to pick up a near mint SixAxis by accident when I bought a used PS3 Super Slim for my collection. It wasn't mentioned in the listing and I was expecting a 3rd party controller, so imagine my surprise when I made out the logo thru the bubble wrap.

Man I remember some of my game pick ups in the day. Last year I was on a hunt for anything Spyro related. I spent close to about $350 getting all the manuals for the games and 3 GBA games. I actually ended up getting a conplete copy of Spyro Season of Flame for about $30 and I was completely shocked. The current game I own in all of my gaming collection is the PS3 version of Spyro Dawn of the Dragon, been seeing prices for that version of the game now go for close to $100 dollars.

[@GaggleofDoozies]

I've got a sealed copy of Dawn on the PS3.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Disco Elysium is easily the best modern game ever made. You will be happy to know they finally fixed the slow loading between areas on the new consoles too in the past few days as this was the only drawback. Now it takes about 1/2 a second to load new areas instead of 10 or so. i no longer game on PlayStation but i checked before posting here and the patch has fixed this issue on both PS5 and Series X. It is just great to see a Developer go back and add worthwhile quality of life updates. I did pick up a physical copy of a Syphon Filter game on PS2 a few years back but i can't think of the title offhand. It was pretty cool though.

[@beau-urns]

And i started selling my ps1 collection and made many thousand due to the crazy pricing. Managed to buy myself a series x, series s, new top of the line gaming PC, and other things just with my games that sat on a shelf. Loving this market nowadays

[@marccaselle8108]

Sellers market if you have the rare and sought after ganes

[@hydralicmonkey6490]

This is perfect timing! I just started on my PlayStation collection again. I could not believe the price of some stuff. Unopened controllers over $100, rockband/guitar hero stuff $150 or more. I dropped like $600 on some cool stuff. I remember like three years ago when I would have paid like $200. Enjoying my collection so far.

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Just keep in mind there is no guarantee of future value on these things. I used to get all the collectors versions of games but you soon realise the amount of room all this stuff takes up that you will never even look at.

[@user-tb3ih9lt4f]

Funny thing of you ever wondered why so many sellers on eBay ship games in those black bubble mailers. It’s actually because those are the cheapest ones that you can buy from Amazon that fit games without being too small or too big, because they are the actual advertised size unlike a bunch of the other ones.

[@Sinn0100]

I'm a gen 5 collector myself and while some of the original PlayStation stuff is indeed expensive...it's the Neo Geo AES/MVS stuff that keeps me up at night. Thankfully, my fiancee is a diehard gamer like myself and she's totally into it as well. We also play all the new games as well. For example, we picked up both the Xbox Series X and PS5 *physical at launch from GameStop.

Vintage is expensive these are things you'll never get again so although expensive I understand their value. I bought many myself I love my physical game collection it's the only way to go! to many folks these days don't understand the value of a dollar so they throw their money away on digital giving away free money to these companies they hold absolutely no value it's the smart ones who know and grow .

If you wanna get rid of sharpie, all you have to do is scribble over it with a dry erase marker and let it sit a minute or two and then wipe with a soft cloth and then BAM! no more sharpie. Works much better, much faster, and with minimal effort and risk compared to alcohol.

I understand the shade of the cheap 3rd party per controllers out there on Amazon and eBay, but when I got my refurbished pee slim from GameStop, I got a busted Sixaxis that barely held itself together. I'm grateful for the knockoff that works fine. I'd probably never use that $100 controller and kept it in the case.

its going to drop, im seeing a lot of people cant keep up and realizing just how much it is affecting their life due to the amount of money spent. at the same time you have less people who are going to start collecting due to the crazy prices. thirdly, the people who have been hunting are going to keep their items and dont need them anymore. so resellers will be stuck with a bunch of items that barely anybody is buying.

[@residentevilclone]

@@pt8292 it’s interesting to me that so many people sell their collections. They don’t just STOP collecting- they decide to get rid of it all. This makes me think it was less about the games, and more about an obsession- or maybe it was always about flipping them for profit.
