There are too many people out there collecting right now just because its "in" or "cool" causing the prices to become over inflated. I blame the hipsters, they pay too much for everything they buy! If Urban Outfitters sold video games I think we'd see Earthbound at $400 for cart only. Once the fad dies off I might be able to afford the games I want!. Sorry for my stupid and illogical rant. --- End quote --- nothing stupid and illogical about this. i cant wait for the prices to drop. thats why im carrying on with my ps3 360 ds collection --- End quote --- I would anticipate for that day... I see eBay and Amazon sellers overpricing some of the games I'm looking for. As for current video games, I am becoming inclined towards digital copies since physical copies don't even have manuals anymore. |

There is zero ownership with digital, only the illusion of it. |

If there is the option. If it ever comes to digital only consoles, I'll retire from new game buying and l look to retro stuffs only. |

Im not really going to sweat the possibility of the world going to digital gaming. Its a fad thats not going to survive long in gaming. People are going to want the option to trade a game, sell a game, etc. Consoles are going to break and people are going to want their games back. Plus if it does finally get to that point, there is absolutely no shortage of games I want to play/replay in my library already that I honestly dont have to buy another game for the rest of my own eternity and could fill all my extra space with what I have now. |
