Gamefaqs insanity (Zelda bonus disc related)
http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genme...topic=11238778
It seems only one guy knows what he is talking about. I don't think the new zelda bonus disc will go for $200-$400 dollars anytime soon. I know people are paying stupid prices for it now but the same happened with the original bonus disc.

Most people on GFaqs don't know what they're talking about...that includes myself in some aspects. But, I try to stay away from those topics.

It's about the prototypes, baby!
Gamefaqs.com fucking sucks along with a majority of VG related websties and print magazines. I am disgusted by a majority of critics and a majority of casual gamers (it seems the critics these days are fucking casual gamers). Digital Press is pretty good though, I wouldn't post on here if i thought it sucked. Fuck gamefaqs.com!! fuck them up the ass!

Yep, that's GameFAQs for you. No idea, they just talk and talk about nothing of worth. That Minoru guy really has no clue about what he's talking about... guess he's never been here before.

Minoru From gameFAQs....
What a moron! This must be one of these "I only play new games cause the graphics are COOLER" gamers...those are the ones that really get under my skin. How can anyone say that games are worthless...not only does collecting games provide a worthwhile hobby (instead of say...baseball cards or something you cant actually use), it brings back old childhood memories and its well...just damn cool.Sorry to break it to you guys, but your gaming collections won't really be worth much.
Think of it this way...
- You pay $50 for a new game
- 1 month later, you get $25 as the trade in value
- 6 months later, you get $15 as the trade in value
- 3 years later, you get $5 as the trade in value
- 5-10 years later, if you're lucky, you can sell it on ebay for $30. If you're very lucky, you might get a little more than you initially paid for it.
But the fact of the matter is very few people are willing to pay for old games, especially with all the ROMS and ISO's readily available for free.
I guess thats what you get for posting on gameFAQs.
What did he say that makes him a moron? He's right. From a financial standpoint anyone who gets into this hobby as an investment or a way to make money is destined for failure.What a moron!

Hey, you're right man. I hate those fucking boards where the fucking kids swear all the fucking time instead of making their fucking points in a god damned intelligent manner.Originally Posted by RCM
Maybe they should all dig their heads out of their momma's asses and stuff.
I'm sure happy I found a more mature message board where I can get away from idiots who use the word fuck as a filler word.

I imagine the disc will be worth about $20 4 years from now. The print run was just simply way too large and the game is way too easy to get.
$200-$400? That guy is kidding himself
What made him a moron was the fact that he said our collections wouldnt be worth anything...not that you wouldnt make any money off them, just that in general they wouldnt be worth anything.
And any game collector knows this is wrong....hence the title "moron".
But yeah, I agree....if your out buying GC games and keeping them sealed to make money in the future its pretty stupid. Id understand picking up something like Kakuto Chojin for xbox and keeping it sealed since it was pulled from the shelves...but anything else basicallys pointless.
But thats not what he was saying still, he said "worthless"...not "profitless".
Well, I can honestly say that my parents and I (through my own contributions in allowance and such) spent roughly $!500 on atari stuff during it's hay day, and that stuff would be worth $50 now. Not as bad an investment as Enron, but still rather pathetic. Of course, I kept them because they represent good times of my youth and I love them.

GAH. That's can't be the Minoru I know.
Either of them.
(If it is one of them, he's being sarcastic, but I was under the impression he was focusing his energies elsewhere at the moment.)
Personally, I see the Bonus Discs as mostly good for playing. Someday they'll certainly be collectable...but I'd rather buy the real thing first.
The same with my nes collection.Well, I can honestly say that my parents and I (through my own contributions in allowance and such) spent roughly $!500 on atari stuff during it's hay day, and that stuff would be worth $50 now.

The NES board on gamefaqs isn't bad, if you are into playing the games like I am. Lots of people talking about the old games, you don't find that much anymore.
However, you get moderated for writing anything even remotely controversial...I used the word "bull$hit" and my post got deleted, complete with a warning. What's that shit all about?

"i have the info. and so should you"
--why not give it away, then?
Now I know why Jesus died for our sins. :/
what do the original ones go for now? i still haven't opened that damn thing.
My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.
Adaml....I didnt know you posted here...I wonder how many others post regular on the NES boards too.
$25-35

I disagree with you insinuating that I am an idiot b/c I used the word fuck. I guess it doesn't take an idiot to figure that one out! If I want to curse I will. If anyone wants to let them. I was in a bad mood at the moment and truly dislike that website and the general state of "gaming journalism." I wasn't singling anyone out specifically like you did to me. The most specicfic I was was naming a website that was being discussed but I did not name a specific editor or anything. I guess you read this message board a lot. It's true that I am the first person and surely the last to ever slip in a curse or type up a rant. It is obvious you've never read any of my other posts b/c they are more to your liking i'm sure (that means no curses to the slow folk that say fuck a lot). If you don't like cursing maybe you should move to an island where you can live alone. Why don't you start now, i'll help you.
