I know it's a niche market I was wondering who else collects them

I only collect misprints if they are included in whatever other subset I'm collecting for. So for instance if I'm trying for a complete demo collection and one of the demo's has two different covers(one normal and one misprint) I'll get them both. But I don't collect misprints just for the sake of collecting misprints.

Haha! That's hilarious! But, then again, not really if you're expecting to play THPS :/

I don't seek then, but I've owned them here and there, but it was famous(infamous) stuff. The latest was Resident Evil Reveliations for the 3DS, and I recall having the way highly printed FF7 screw up. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something else but I don't look for it as I see no value in it.

One of my strangest Good Times season 5 disc 1
I kinda figured not many people would be seeking them out

I don't seek these kinds of things out, but would love to keep hearing about the ones you find! It's a pretty neat subset idea.

Wow it would suck to buy a rare sealed game only to have it turn out to be one of these fuckups.

The best part about it is that no one will ever know. :vamp:

I intentionally purchased the Xbox360 LEGO: Lord of the Rings that was supposedly being recalled because the game disc was labeled a Demo Disc even though it was the full game. There was no price difference between it and any other version, so I thought what the hell, why not.
But I don't intentionally seek them out or collect them and I would be disappointed if I were to find one by accident. I spend enough on games and don't care to buy anything twice.

I recently found out that ff7 has tons of different misprints i recently found a black label with a miss spell on the back. Turns out it was the second rib of the game to

FF7
Yes there are quite a few with that game
1) floating i
2) double Sephiroth
3) meteor on disc 2
4) spongebob supersponge on disc 3
5) greatest hits/black label
6) incomplete chocobo disc 1 (found on some double Sephiroth copies)
7) incorrectly cut page
8) Upside down page
I think that's all of them

I don't think it was brought up, but Super Mario Bros 3 the screen caps on the back of the box don't exist in the game since they were test/beta images someone screwed up and used.
http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/images/box/box_smb3_back2.jpg click that and you'll see, and it wasn't all the boxes either, just some of them.
