I love me some shoot-em ups, and Gradius is one of the best series! I have the NES, SNES, and GBA ones. --- End quote --- Musha's better. :D --- End quote --- Great game, but you can't really call it a series, there's only 1. --- End quote --- Not true its on sega master system powerstrike 1,2 lol. --- End quote --- Never knew there was a connection between the two. Definitely going to have to check out the Power Strikes, now. |

I think the value will go up. Most people don't take care of their stuff so there should be less of the games around in excellent condition. I've got plenty of CD's and DVD's going on close to 20 years now. They all play perfect. Besides, PS2 games work right outta the package. These current games need updates, DLC transfers and none of the online playability will survive. I don't think this generation of games will be all that collectible, but the old school stuff should continue to be hunted. |

Seems like that would be a really easy DIY if necessary. There's no reason why that data will escape into oblivion just because the games are old. Besides, not a single update to any 360 game has required Internet connection for me, the "update" came on the disc. Only this latest gen has ever "required" Internet to update just so that it can play games after setup. |

The necessary firmware updates come right on the UMD (PSP) or the disc (Wii). |
