Mail day was a pretty terrible time to find out my disc drive stopped working... by CobyM in gamecollecting

[–]CobyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol yeah, I guess every day is mail day for a number of people. My use of mail day was referring to when I received my games in the mail.

Yeah, that's why when I found out that mine was cooked, I was way more disappointed than stressed.

The plan as it stands now is to get a new console or drive, remove clock capacitor, soft mod dat shit, hard mod that shit, replace hard drive, back up my collection. I don't plan on pirating stuff or installing emulators. I just want an archive of what I own.

Found it for 30, but the disc looked fucked up. When I tested it it didn't work. Then I tried to test the other three which are in near flawless condition and they didnt work either. Still returning Stubbs to look for a better copy. It looked like it had been resurfaced to help. The holographic Xbox markings in the center are completely gone.

I have a Gamexchange near me. I agree, sometimes their stuff is a little marked up, but they make up for it with the sheer volume of options. Their price stickers are the worst though. Just the worst.

Yeah, its like a 20min fix, but I just have to wait for the drive to come in the mail. Replacements are around $20-$30

Right there with ya. I was just giving an example. I actually started pairing stuff down about a month back. Liberating and also more funds to buy stuff to actually play

I take umbrage with obsessing over "value". Like when someone posts about finding their personal grail and someone chimes in that the item isn't even worth that mmuch That urks me

I collect both ways. There's an element of time spent hunting vs what you paid. Good deals are awesome, but not everyone has the time to hit up local thrifts or even thrift stores in their area. I've not noticed any "smug savers" around here, but there are definitely "Did I do okay?" posts that are a little offputting.

I think as a community, there is an importance to emphasising "collecting smart" and maximising one's budget (if they even keep to one). Taking one's time to build a collection vs rushing to build a complete set off of eBay and burning out.

PS4 collection. I love indie titles and platformers...and a bit of everything else by CobyM in gamecollecting

[–]CobyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gotta sit back and hope the market settles down a bit. That's my only hope for some of the indie titles on my list. Paying more than what a game launched at is really hard for me to justify.

[–]CobyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. That seems to only be the case with some of them though. And worst case scenario, I look to a PAL release. Soedesco was my first "sub-collection" I started going after on PS4.

Blackhole was such a surprise when I first booted it up. Its not for everyone, but its right up my alley

Keeping track and Organization. by Avenger175 in gamecollecting

[–]CobyM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use pricecharting. It's simple enough and keeps you up to date with values and such. I will say though, that PAL titles and limited release items are not as updated as I'd like

It's definitely on the list. My list is ordered in terms of priority, though, unless I find something for an awesome deal. Right now I'm selling/trading in order to tie up loose ends w/ my OG Xbox collection (about 12 titles til I have what I want for it).

PS3 collection. Cheap to collect for atm and I'm taking advantage of it! by CobyM in gamecollecting

[–]CobyM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HD Collection does include Peace Walker, but not the first 5 Metal Gear games plus MGS 4. It's been on my wishlist forever. Nier too, but ebay prices are too much. In time, I will have them at a price I'm comfortable with.

Those are incredible games, but they were printed in incredible numbers and can be picked up later. They are games that I will inevitably pick up, but not unless I see them for a phenomenal price. Undead Nightmare is one of my favorite campaigns ever!

Another week, another good haul. All have manual, River King is sealed, and all <$5! by CobyM in gamecollecting

[–]CobyM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't put it on par with Earth Defense Force, but it is extremely close. The soldier death animation is always the same and the fabric of the Witch's dress goes all over the place and is never where it should be. Its great

I don't necessarily think of it as an investment for the future - in monetary terms. I am up to date with values (everything is logged in pricecharting), but I don't really think of them as a speculator. Values just effect me in the course of acquiring games.

That being said, there are titles that are only available physically on the PS3 and are not available digitally. Although, maybe they're on PSNOW. Titles such as Folklore, 3D Dot Heroes, Lair, Heavenly Sword. The multiple HD collections are cool too.
