That's only a little over $3 a piece. Not bad if your looking to fill up the collection quickly.

You're right, that's not bad, but most of them are sports games which even new aren't worth $1. What of those games are worth picking up? I have maybe 3 DC games. I saw a few there that I'd love to get like Tomb Raider and Wetrix but I don't know enough about most of the other games...

EDIT: nevermind. I hadn't seen that they are both used and nearly guaranteed not to come with box or docs.

I was interested in going for that deal, but I wanted to get a confirmation on which ones I'd get the manual with for sure.

Emailed their customer service, and I got a reply back that there was no way of checking before hand. Too bad.

He's right... those games are kinda weak. I'd like to add Tony Hawk to my collection, but I'd pass on many of the other ones.

All titles are preowned merchandise. Some titles will not include box or instructions

Those friggin pricks. If I knew they'd come with box and instructions, I'd buy each title...been meaning to get my DC collection up.

No way to check before hand...that's such bullshit. I hate snotty crap like that.

I've started collecting DC games about 2 years, once I get above 100 games, trust me, you'll want every game complete, in fact, I don't even take used games for my collection.

If you check eBay, most games are pretty easy to find, but certain are impossible to find if you're looking for sealed and new copy (shall I say increasingly difficult). My collection has gone past 150, since I've only opened a few, I've decided not to open the rest and get used, cheap copy if I actually want to play them.

I've been picking up used DC titles from EBgames.com every now and then. Whenever they have a 30% off sale I order like 20 titles. About one in ten on average has arrived loose. Sometimes more sometimes fewer.

Spent $14 on Gundam 0079 and it only came with the manual.

$9 on Midway Arcade vol # 2 and it was complete.

like $1.40 on Space channel 5 and it was complete and in great shape while Chu Chu for $1.40 was loose. It seems like they have raised the prices a bit lately though, hardly any titles for $1.99-2.99.

I usually trade-in any games that I get loose or partially loose, but hang on to the manual and or back cover. So next time I order I can possibly puzzle together a complete copy.



Bought about 10 Genesis titles a few months ago and 4 of them were loose. Though the wording on the site says that they are invariably loose.

I'm veeeeeery close to a complete DC collecton (damn layoff killed that hunt pretty quickly)

I have over 200 CIB... and only one that is disc only - Sonic Adventure Limited Edition. It's still pretty easy to get CIB titles - and always remember that the cases can be ordered online if the contents are intact

Even those (in my opinion) goofy blue European boxes can be ordered online at NCSX... although they are a bit pricy.

Never underestimate the sticker and dirt cleaning power of a little lighter fluid... 8-)

On a releated note, anyone have an extra case/manual for Sonic Adventure LE? Or even a nice high-quality scan of the CD Case backing and manual cover (open)?

I'll even make my own from scans since I'm not gonna sell it, I just wanna make this ugly blank case in the middle of my DC games have the casing it should O_O
