General / Re: Your Largest Purchase Pause?

« on: April 24, 2023, 07:21:43 am »

I quit gaming from around 1992-2010.

I was given 2 free consoles over that time, a 3D0 which I sold a couple months later (regret) and a Dreamcast I still have. Avid gamer before and after that time period, but yeah...I only bought a handful of used games for my dreamcast over an 18 year period. I've more than made up for it since. I'm def slowing down this gen though, i'm going to seriously limit what I buy on the PS5 and likely won't get much of anything XBX/S related unless it's dirt cheap on clearance.

Site Feedback / Re: Keep session for longer

So, starting about 5-6 days ago, i now have to log in again every time I visit the site. Not a huge inconvenience but annoying nonetheless. Nothing changed on my end computer wise, i'm not logged in anywhere else, etc.

I'm sorry about that. Please let me know if that is resolved now.

I got on just now and was logged in, I'll let you know if anything changes....thanks

General / Re: DK Oldies? A scandal, or just another smear campaign?

Victim blaming? I doubt anything more can be added to this discussion.

Help, DK Oldies took my card and swiped it. I visited their website and had no choice. They promised me a console I could eat off of, and now I’m a victim. Victim with a console that’s dirty inside. They said they’d replace it, but that ain’t right, it just ain’t right.  I’m a gamer dammit…

How could you Joey, I hate you’re blonde hair! Some one save me from this man!!

Again, you seem to think it's more than just OK for unsuspecting people to be taken advantage of. It's kinda sick. I was wrong, you have added your true colors to the discussion.

In the Govt vs You, your guns won't do you any good. It's a radical righty fantasy.

You may be OK with false advertising and not getting what you pay for, but not everyone is as laissez faire about what they spend their hard earned money on...especially if they are paying top dollar.

Also, who cares if someone on youtube buys a few consoles to test them out...you make it sound like "regular/average" customer doesn't deserve a decent product, that it's OK for them to be taken advantage of because they don't know any better. DK started posting videos on youtube about how great they were, and the platform is calling them on it.

You may be all upset about online criticism, but DKoldies deserves it. Hopefully they take it to heart and improve their business practices.

I've only been here 6 years, and I was drawn here because I was going for a complete NTSC base set for Xbox 360. I wouldn't say much has changed for me, I still collect games and play games. Luckily I finished my 360 set before the covid boom, but dreams of doing any kind of PS3 set have been crushed by the price increases. Overall I'm at a very happy place when it comes to my collection. Mostly just picking up physical copies of games I own digitally on PS4/XB1 and adding the occasional new PS3 game I find in the wild.

This is some next level stuff here. I can't even imagine what it would be like living like this. I'm sorry.

That said, i'm suprised a certain member hasn't come into this thread calling you guys bullies yet. Maybe I only got that because I'm an unknown.

Picked up 5 PS3 games at a thriftstore for euro 3 each

- Alice: Madness Returns
- The Saboteur
- Portal 2
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Uncaged Edition
- Sniper Elite V2

All fun games. Wolverine has snuck up there in price, and sells for quite a bit more than you paid for all of them (About 3x the total where I'm at).

Modern Video Games / Re: Just ordered a Series X for 350. Buyers remorse. Will I regret it?

« on: February 07, 2023, 07:04:09 pm »

Halo: Infinite was a great exclusive.

Halo Infinite released for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X and is therefore not exclusive to either platform. marvelvscapcom2 would be able to play it regardless of owning a Series X or not, since they also own a Xbox One.

It's on steam as well, but I get where burningdoom is coming from.

350? You got it for 200 less than retail after taxes. If it's new you got a steal, if it's used you still got a steal.

General / Re: Buying games for a system you don't own

« on: January 30, 2023, 06:22:59 pm »

Not often, but it does happen.

I bought several PS3 games (Black Friday deals) before getting my PS3. I had every intention of getting the console though.

My bother bought me "The Thing" for Xbox in 2001 or so as a gift. I found an Xbox a few years ago for 20 bucks, so it was probably 15 years before I got the console. Still in my backlog...in hindsight I should have kept it sealed, lol

I currently have 8 PS5 games, despite not owning a PS5. All sealed. Still undecided on the PS5. They are in stock now but I don't see any reason to drop 600 bucks after tax on one...nothing screams "play me!". Hoping for a cheaper "slim" model in a year or two.

I have 24 Wii games, but no Wii. I do have a Wii U and the accessories needed to play them all though.

I have 7 PS2 games, though I've never owned, or plan to own, a PS2. 4 are sealed.

Edit:
I have 3 switch games, all sealed. No plan to get a switch, but I may someday (I hate the joycons though).

I have 1 PSP and 4 vita games, all sealed. Don't own either system, but wouldn't mind owning them.

So I don't go out of my way, but if I see a great deal I'll pick up something for a console I don't own.

PS3 is my 2nd favorite console of all time, and my favorite Sony console. I play it still, and plan to for many years to come.
