That is truly epic! I've thought about what I will do when it comes time to collect for the PSOne and usually It gives me a headache thinking about achieving a complete collection. This guy went far beyond that with all his variants. My hat is off to him!

[Rickstilwell1]

I am in agreement with this guy that Playstation is my favorite system ever. I've logged more time into it than any other system and the vast quantity of games will keep someone busy for years. It is good to see that this collector actually plays each game, even the sports ones rather than just letting everything set there. I think instead of stopping at US games he should get into importing Japanese ones, especially the exclusives.

The owner is DangerBoy, correct?

The owner is DangerBoy, correct?

Gotta be. I think I sold him that crate on the left side of the first pic! I'm famous! /me end proud.

It truly is an amazing collection and he's a dedicated guy!

[MachineGex]

I do like how he has a specific goal for his collecting. He use to collect everything and it felt like a burden, I can relate to that. I have thought about collecting for one specific system, but I just cant do it. I just try and get the "best" or "top" games for each system.

Nice collection, great interview.

Great interview and amazing collection. As much of a fan of the PSX that I am, I don't have that sort of dedication. My collection will eventually be finished after I own all the games on the console that I enjoy.

[Mayhem]

Yes, it is Dangerboy ;)

[Dangerboy]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Nice to know a labor of love is appreciated. :)

Hats off to you dangerboy, truly admire your dedication, that is one awesome collection!

[Lady Jaye]

Seeing the pics of your collection was really cool. :D The interview itself is quite interesting too...

[RPG_Fanatic]

Great read, as a fan of danger-boy's site which I check everyday for updates. It's nice to here a little history about him.

[kedawa]

Pffft. He's not so big.

I knew it was Dangerboy before I clicked on this thread

Cool article, I'd been to game-rave plenty of times but it was cool to learn a bit more about the processes DangerBoy had gone through and some of the more interesting stories that had happened while collecting. I especially like the part where he talked about how game prices are inflating unrealistically due to people with more money than sense and resellers. It's good to know that there are still bastions of sensibility in this crazy hobby. :)

Excellent very impressive.
I wonder if he has the two Sony Pro/ PSX Pro cover CDs:

Sony Pro/PSX Pro was a shortlived UK PlayStation magazine, and they had two issues with cover CDs, until Sony stepped in for the second time and forbade it (First time around Sony didn't allow the use of the Sony Pro magazine name)

[Dangerboy]

Tom- I don't do import. US Only.

Even I have some sanity. :)

[otaku]
