I'm a Colorado native and still live here despite a huge boom in the price of housing and overcrowding in recent years (damn marijuana laws. . .).


The video game/collecting scene has always been good here, especially compared to places on the east coast which I here is mostly terrible. We have a ton of retro game store, pawn shops, thrifts (most suck though), but sadly only one flea market that is 90% resellers. Regardless I do pretty well in finding stuff, although like everywhere else the pickings have become more slim in the past few years due to the sharp rise in collecting/reselling.

Austin, Tx BTW how many people here frown or dislike Texas on here. Some people really hate us.

Wouldn't say I hate it. I wouldn't live there though. Between the weather and personal beliefs, I don't think I could live there. I do like their gun right. Since I live in California, and well, we have too many complicated and vague gun laws lol

The only thing I hate about Texas is the Longhorns, but that's from the old SWC football days.  Woo Pig Sooie!

I've never been to Austin, but I go to Dallas a couple of times a year.  It's always a good time.

Moved to Dubai a few months back. I hope to stay here for a 2-3 years and then head back to Canada, we'll see. Everyone I met here was only supposed to stay a couple of years and they stayed 10+.

The gaming scene here isn't very good. It's a newer city so there is no retro gaming. The malls sell games at $100. I found a little wholesaler outside of the city (on the edge of the desert) who sells to other stores. They also do individual sales and you can buy new games there for ~$45-50. They mostly sell PAL though which is not what I collect. I go buy my games there (That don't have DLC, as my PS4 is NTSC), the ones I want to play and not collect.

For the collection, I make orders online before I head back to Canada to visit. I'm going back soon so I am scouring Ebay for deals. They'll be waiting for me when I get back and I can enjoy opening mail, hehe.

I live in France, in a 200k population city called Rennes since 20 years. Before moving there with my family I grew up in the mountains in the S.E. of the country.

I'm from Michigan, in around the Ann Arbor area. I was born and raised on the East Coast in New Hampshire. Moved to Michigan in '09.

I don't know much about the collecting scene here since I don't usually have the means to go out game hunting yet.. There's a nice retro game store near where I live but I usually just browse what they have and don't buy anything.
