The Platinum Project PlayStation 2: Episode 12 - Is it Still worth hunting for PS2 games in CEX?

[@DarkSphinxx]

Im rebuilding my PS2 collection after stopping gaming for about 15 years and im so excited to get back into my passion

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Good luck with the building! What was it that reignited your passion for collecting?

[@Hstretch]

Great video very happy with the length 🎉🎉

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thank you, the platinum episode always seem to be longer as there’s so much to cover!

[@RetroMattUK]

Awesome video as always. Happy to have helped get you further along your journey - keep up the good work bud and always on hand if you have any questions for some of the rarer/harder ones to find :)

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thank you, couldn’t have dreamt of getting this far without the help of people like yourself, thanks again!

[@thekingofoldskool2]

Great episode Dan, quite the whirlwind for you as well. My local charity shops have started selling PS2 games. I have seen your socials and seen the games left to get (I have certainly seen Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - Anniversary, Platinum edition this week). If I get chance to get out of work, I will get it for you. Keep up the great work!

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thanks and if you can grab those two that would be absolutely amazing, let me know if you do, thanks in advance for the help!

[@TREV772]

My favourite series. You’ve inspired me to do the same Dan!

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Awesome! How are you getting on so far?

[@ItsTheKP13]

That English copy of Harry Potter has the BBFC rating so almost certainly was released over here or at least intended too.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@ItsTheKP13 it’s the Dutch release which means I guess they use the same rating system?

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@TheColehabo thank you, I didn’t know there was any NHL games released in the platinum pal range….

12:04 smuggling contraband?? 😜

[@DanTheGamesMan]

I did go back and check and the box was broken in the photo on eBay lol

[@yll5288]

He Dan, Astro zoo platinum comes originally with a platinum disc

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thanks another one to keep an eye out for, will try and find a copy before the next episode.

[@lucyaiston523]

Smallest PS2 section is that CEX I went in Newcastle. Was like half a shelf hidden right down on the floor. It was also the tiniest CEX too.. however thats the one I got those 2 more expensive ones for you

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Goes to show it’s not the size it’s the contents lol. Yeah it’s a shame but as long as I keep finding games I’m happy

[@lucyaiston523]

@DanTheGamesMan I've checked my local a couple times recently for you but no luck so far

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@lucyaiston523 thanks for checking, I think sadly CEX finds are going to get more and more sporadic sadly

[@lucyaiston523]

@@DanTheGamesMan yeah most definitely. Still keep my eyes peeled 👀

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@lucyaiston523 thanks and it makes it so much sweeter when you do find one!

[@jpsjkd86]

Yes the astro zoo disc is the silver one I've seen on Google images.

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@jpsjkd86 agh that’s a shame but another one to look out for I guess lol

[@RetroElijah1982]

Damn, those are quite the PS2 Platinum pick-ups. When you said Pes Game I thought you said it as Pez(the candy), I was like "Wow, I didn't know Pez had video games." Then I saw the game in your hand and I was like "WTF? That's not Pez, that's something else." Had a good laugh though 😂🤣, that's a cool PlayStation T-shirt. Reminds me of the Gameboy almost, great video as always Mr. The Games Man

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Thank you and thanks for watching! My wife said the exact same thing about the PRS games as she also thought I said Pez games and honestly with the number of games released for the PS2 and some of the shovelware I’m surprised we never got a PEZ game lol

[@Mantakev]

Regarding ps2 games and so on. You don’t see racks of ps1 games. Ps2 are being bought up. Look at ps3 they are shooting up in price. Xbox 360 are now being priced with/without manual. My local CEX manager said ps3 is going to be manual / no manual next. The prices are going to boom. PS3 is on the cusp of exploding

[@DanTheGamesMan]

This is true and something I didn’t think about so thanks for this comment, I guess it makes sense the older a console gets the more people seem to collect for it and thus there’s less games out there.

[@redditch11b]

For the 1 or 2 games that dont come with a platinum disc, you could get a silver promo disc to go with the case? Different but means they are all 'silver' then 😂

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Haha this is true, I’m sure I’ll find the platinum disks eventually, hopefully lol

[@mosephshneebly7758]

Hi Dan could I please see your list of games? I’m also hunting for all the platinums but I have a list of 266😅

[@DanTheGamesMan]

If you can send me a message on my socials I’ll try and find the original list and it would also be interesting if you could send me yours. As I’ve said my list is the list to the best of my knowledge but so much has changed over this year!

[@RetroMattUK]

Feel free to pass my list along aswell Dan. Nearly 300 on mine (including the special sets) and I’d go so far as to say all games on it are confirmed to exist for the PAL region.

[@oldandnewgamer]

15:50 Was that a KSI reference?

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Not intentionsally lol

[@oli_gordon]

16:21 what demo was in that box

[@DanTheGamesMan]

I have no idea I’m afraid

[@oli_gordon]

@@DanTheGamesMan you never noticed it

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@oli_gordon it was getting pretty busy by that point as I was mainly looking for Platinums

[@JimBob-vg2og]

Dan the amount of times you say “The fine city of Norwich” this video is just so insane. Seriously take a shot every time. You’ll need your stomach pumped. Got quite annoying tbh

[@DanTheGamesMan]

Sorry I think I’ve said it so many times now I can’t help but say it

[@tangoman111]

Once you experience The Fine City of Norwich you can't help but call it The Fine City of Norwich, it's like A Tribe Called Quest, you say the whole thing.

[@SPANISH-TARQUIN]

Platinum Project Playstation 2 😮 😂

[@DanTheGamesMan]

@@SPANISH-TARQUIN I’m also guilty of this one lol

[@DanTheGamesMan]
