PLaystation 2 Collectors...Where are you in your collection?

[Bronty-2]

[quote="ProgrammingAce"]

And the fact that a single PS3 dev station costs roughly $60,000 means that it's well out of the realm of posibility for indy developers to pump out the hits.
[\quote]

wow, that sounds damn high (considering you might have 50 people working on a title - 50 x $60,000 = not a pretty #).

But I have no frame of reference, what's a 360 or wii station cost?

[ProgrammingAce]

Good point, sorry.

360 : about $35,000 with all the bells and whistles. Give or take.

Wii : I don't work with Wii, but i've heard as low as $2,000 but i highly doubt that's for the high end dev station.

[CosmicMonkey]

Blah, blah.....mark my words children

Um, yeah ok. Very, very worrying fanboyism.

Out of interest, are you planning to collect empty PS3 games too then?

But then, if you've just spent $600 on a games console, empty boxes are all most people could probably afford!

M$ might not be my most favorite company on the planet, but they do have their heads screwed-on when it comes to consoles. M$ will own this generation.

*the sound of an ass flapping constantly*

You really have no idea do you?

[CosmicMonkey]

@neonesmaster - Please don't PM me calling me a 'dick'. It's a waste of your and my time. You're the one who collects empty (stolen) boxes, not me.

[ProgrammingAce]

I'm trying to figure out if this guy is an intentional troll, or if he is honestly this misguided... hard to say.

Ditto

[neonesmaster]

must suck trying to have an intelligent conversation in a forum on the dp....oh wait!


i think this conversation is done....

please close this discussion oh mighty dp gods......

THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY NO SONY FANS HERE SO THE DP CAN STAY INSIDE OF ITS OWN LITTLE WORLD....ACE IS STEPPING OUT...


nice to meet all of you people that have been nice.

not so nice to meet the dicks...

[Daria]

I don't get it. Why is it going to more fun collecting empty PS3 cases as opposed to empty 360 boxes?

[badinsults]

Or how about downloading scans of the PS2 cases and putting them in empty dvd cases.

[steveant1636]

i just got my 299th and 300th PS2 game today, I finally picked up Kingdom hearts 1 & 2 at a pawn shop. got them both for $25.00. You have to love getting games from people who have no idea on how new games are or what to charge for them. Kingdom hearts was $6.00 and Kingdom Hearts 2 was a wopping $19.00.
I do plan on getting a bunch more tomorrow when i get paid, they had Devil May Cry 3 and Resident Evil 4 for $10.00 each. I hope they are still there.

[cyberfluxor]

First time visiting this thread, all I know is: haha, great thread!

I have a total of 2 PS2 games, both are loose with gheto plastic sleaves.
Silent Hill 2
Winback: Covert Operations
and then a ton of PSone titles, a few crappy ones. So by any means I'm not *yet* a collector of PS2 games.

However, I'm quite currious how neonesmaster is a "collector". Works at a game store, gets lots of free cut-out stands and promos for games and has a bunch of PS2 titles (Most are empty?). Are you one of those bastards that steals those complete boxes and the manuals from the inside? And how do you get all this money to suddenly own so many PS2 games (If they are really complete) when you work at a game store? Do you live with your parents, $0 rent, ride a bike to the store and get free food? Spend 100% of your checks on games and steal what you can't afford? Selling drugs under the table? I mean come on, I'm lost. What's your secret?

A little on the side though, you do have a lot of misspellings and grammatical errors, in addition you seem to have some failed logic in your discussions (and throughout it BTW) so to say everyone else isn't intelligent (maybe because they figured you out) and acting like a child calling CosmicMonkey a "dick", I mean come on! Grow up and stop having double standards and shit. Maybe you don't belong here if you can't apologize to both the other users and the administrators. If you do decide to stay then make it a bit more friendly instead of a hostile initial post.

Good day to your sir.

[CYRiX]

Eh I've got 60 Mint games, but I'm trying not to buy cheapo PS2 games because I know they'll all be like 99 cents in a year as oppose to being $1-10.

[Nature Boy]

What's wrong with you people? If you don't like the guy or topic, stop posting already!

I kinda liked the original thread, until it wallowed in the muck. Why? Well, mostly because it gave me a snapshot of what I had at the time, which I find amusing to compare to what I have now. But also 'cause I like reading about what others like to collect.

So what if someone likes to collect empty boxes? If you feel betrayed that he was misleading you then shame on *you* - this is the internet, you shouldn't believe *anything* you read anyway!

Now, for the next time I come across this thread, I'm gonna say this: After last time I actually took advantage of a Blockbuster trade-in deal and got some credit for some of my games (RPGs, compilations, generally stuff I wasn't happy playing anymore). I got rid of maybe a dozen games, which put me somewhere in the 50s for a total.

The last game I bought was Baldur's Gate II (finally) a week or two ago, which funnily enough put me back to 61. So I guess in the end I've done *nothing* since last time out

[roushimsx]

Up to 199 games total. Cursed dvd rack is out of space at this point, so I'm at a stand still.

It's for the better, I guess. I really should be saving up to overhaul my ghetto PC instead of blowing yet more cash on yet more games. Started working my way through the PS2 backlog, too!

First PS2 game I beat this year: Lego Star Wars.

Hey, it's a start!

[Juganawt]

I have a relatively tiny PS2 collection. I usually only buy the good exclusive games for the system, so right now the Ps2 is sitting at a grand total of 41 (ok well I did get a few stinkers with the last of my 4 PS2 machines - Tekken Tag, Silent Hill 2 and Glass Rose. So technically I have all 38 decent PS2 exclusives, as well as 3 shitty games)

As soon as more good PS2 games get released, I'll add them to my collection, but right now I don't think I'm missing any of the small handful of good titles for it.

I'll wait till the games are cheap before I start collecting the monumental amount of junk released for it.

[Sothy]

neonesmaster:

Please dont let the door hit yer ass on the way out.

Im sure theres a "I LOVE SONY" forum out there where you can have an intelligent conversation about how nintendo and microsoft suckxor balls PS3 4 LYFE!!!

[cyberfluxor]

Might as well add to what I've got since I randomly decided to buy a few PS2 games today at Circuit City.

So before I had loose:
Silent Hill 2
Winback: Covert Operations

Now I just added new:
Castlevania Curse of Darkness
Haunting Ground
Wild Arms 4

[Flack]

must suck trying to have an intelligent conversation in a forum on the dp....oh wait!

You're not even a good troll. Calm down, or move on.

neonesmaster,

Would you be interested in selling some of your demos? There are quite a few in your list that I would be willing to pay for. If you're interested, please PM me. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ryan
