Still happens to me, but it seems to happen alot in PS4/Switch Era.
There just so many video games released, with very small batches of print, especially in recent months, games that just came out recently, are already hard to find, and going need to buy a couple.
Also with whole Playstation Store shutting down, going need to buy/download couple PS1 games i want on the go/Exclusives on PS3/PSVita that only came out Digitally.
Like:
PS3:
Battle Princess of Arcadias PS3,
Legasista PS3,
Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment PS3.
Class Of Heroes 2G (i have physical release, but its very low print run, so most people can only get it digitally, and dont want to open my copy)
PSP:
Brandish: The Dark Revenant
Cladun: This is an RPG!
End Of Serenity
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of The Lions
Mystic Chronicles
PSVita:
Adventures of Mana
Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star
Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines
Soul Sacrifice Delta
I am defiently also going to pick up certain PS1 games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Legend of Dragoon, Mega Man Legends 1-2, Parasite Eve 1-2, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Suikoden 1-2, Vagrant Story, Wilds Arms 1-2, Xenogears (even though i own them physically, i just want digital formats, just in case if anything happens to my discs, especially the more expansive PS1 games. Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy Tactics are my favorite PS1 games.
