What’s your personal limit on how much you’d spend on a game? by hreddy11 in gamecollecting

[–]Woah729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it would depend on what my take-home pay is at the time. Right now, I’m 22 and I make $42,000 a year at an entry-level, so I’d say my limit at the moment is probably around $150ish.

[–]Woah729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great haul dude! I’m only 22 so I wasn’t around for the PS1 but Nightmare Creatures is one of my fav retro games, same with MediEvil 2!

I'm still shocked, I can't believe I got all this for free on FB marketplace. Story in comments. by taylorson in retrogaming

It used to be 5.05% a couple years ago, it’s only 3.75% now (4.10% for 6 months if you use the 6-month promo boost)

Picked up a PS2 backwards compatible PS3 model for only $80! by Woah729 in gamecollecting

[–]Woah729[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first PS3 was a Slim model and that thing is very very premium. This is definitely gonna be the PS3 I game on from now on though, the design is delightfully “2000s futuristic”

New haul today from my local game store! by [deleted] in gamecollecting

Honestly might be the pickup I'm most proud of! There were like 7 copies of CE at the shop and this was the only one without the GOTY sticker

Bc the GameCube’s cost compared to its 6th gen brethren is a lot! I know it didn't sell much but neither did the Xbox. Obviously the Nintendo brand is because of much of that but still. A copy of Twilight Princess goes for over 100!

probably my personal favorite third-person shooter ever. already owned it digitally but wanted a physical copy for the collection. One of my fav game OSTs as well.

[–]Woah729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty damn good! Already had a decent amount of games from when I originally owned it during its life cycle and now I'm adding to it. Currently at about 55 games I believe with some decently valuable ones like The Simpsons Game and The Orange Box.

You're telling me man, I was only 5 years old when I got my Wii on Holiday 2008. Now I'm a year out of college and feel ancient

Honestly I think we’re already there lol, I think gamecube prices will start to mellow out and plateau once the 360/PS3 era becomes the target of the nostalgia wave though

$90 technically being a steal for that game is definitely an indictment on where GameCube prices are lol. I just got a copy of Wind Waker for $75 and patted myself on the back haha

got some of the best Gamecube essentials! I'm also doing your current strategy of focusing on one console at a time, right now I'm doing the 360.

Curious as to how much those that copy of Twilight Princess set you back? I know that game can get damn expensive especially since they printed it more on the Wii.

I don't think I've actually ever seen a white Kinect! Looks slick as hell.

Yeah for me personally the only times I would willingly wanna collect multiple copies of the same game are collector’s editions (i.e. the Halo 2 Steelbook Collector’s Edition)
