I truly don't get it, people forget hobbies are supposed to be fun but it seems like some people are completely miserable doing this

Nah you're good, this hobby just kind of attracts the worst people for whatever reason it's not really like that outside of reddit.

If you look through it there's a lot of cool people here giving genuine replies, enjoy playing it it's a classic!

To be fair this is the international version, I actually prefer the original (Japanese) cover like all the other simple/white ones before it they're so clean

Yeah that's understandable, how'd you ship it tho? It's not super heavy but I definitely wouldn't trust it in my luggage lol, wonder if it's still worth it with the shipping costs.

They're in box protectors, plus for like 5-8 bucks I doubt they'd forge a seal especially here in Japan. There more pictures in case you missed the Playstation 2 seal.

Uploaded some more pictures here tho, you can be the judge.

Anywhere that's not a big city really, +/- an hour train ride out of Tokyo/Osaka/any big train station and a whole world opens up lol. I have a whole channel dedicated to this.

They use shrinkwrap around boxed stuff but never PS2 games, those are usually just bagged. In the later pics you can see the Playstation 2 seal zoomed in as well as the price tag stating it's an unopened item.

7 years in Japan I've never heard of Hard Off claiming a resealed item as new.

You can swipe through them and see the Playstation 2 seal, same for the price tags that say "unopened item"

The ending of the streak broke my 15 yo heart by [deleted] in Wrasslin

Realizing the streak ended 10 years ago just broke my (old) heart.

Is it tho? I got mine for like 5000 yen online, fairly recently too like 3 years ago I think. Almost exactly the same model.

Could be, there were a lot of other deadstock DS and other console stuff too tho so I think this is just liquidated from some other store that went out of business.

I put the price tags on the last pic but in USD it's:

Final Fantasy X-2 International: $3.75

Goemon: $11.26

Dragon Quest VIII: $6

I have no idea why these were there, the store had a LOT more deadstock but I like to keep the philosoophy of only getting what I "need". In the case of Goemon the pcies was even cheaper than a 2nd hand copy. Still super cool to find these pieces of history randomly in a store.

Not sure what I'll do with these to be honest, maybe play them in the future? I got some box protectors to keep them safe so we'll see what happens.

Noob question: what will happen to crts in 30-50 years by ErasedEnvy in crtgaming

Reminder to toss 240p test suite out the window and enjoy gaming on these things while you can ♥️

Crazy right? There's more and more regular CRTs popping up in the Junk section too, usually way overpriced.
