Modern Video Games / Dark Void - Sound Issues? (360)
« on: January 02, 2015, 11:05:59 pm »
Just a quick question. I'm playing the vanilla version of Dark Void, and occasionally (during cutscenes), the sound begins to 'scramble'? It's not my speakers (tried it through both those and the TV), and although it might be the disk (it has some wear), apparently the vanilla version had some sound problems with cutscenes on the PC. Has anyone else had this issue on the 360?

Oddly enough, the disk had someone's last name on it, which is the exact same as my own. So I'm kind of hesitant to switch it out unless I know a scratched disk is the issue, because that was a pretty unique find. xD

I know the easy answer is to update it, but I thought that if someone else had the answer, it'd save me a little trouble having to move and shift a bunch of things to do so.

Hardware and Tech / Xbox (original) - Problem Reading Disks
« on: December 31, 2014, 07:02:45 pm »
Hi all!

So, I have an original Xbox, and it appears to have a disk reading issue. I'll pop in a game, and it'll play for a while... perhaps 10 minutes? However, after a short time, it stops reading the disk and will either freeze or pull up a message saying it's having problems reading the disk.

I know the disc is not the problem, as this has occurred with two different ones I've tried to use.

I had taken it inside a house a long time ago (when I was younger) where people smoked, and I kinda think that it might have contracted some kind of smoke damage. But I doubt that that is the problem. Any ideas about what might be wrong?

General / Who's Ready for Persona Q? :3

By way of a blessing, I was able to get my copy off of Amazon yesterday, and am very thankful to have the chance to do so. ^.^

So I just thought I'd strike up a thread and see who all is getting in on the action today! I just recently tried out the demo for the combat system which PQ is based upon (Etrian Odyssey IV, or however you spell that xP  ), and that was relatively fun I suppose, so I look forward to trying out this one. ^.^ Not sure if the style is to my taste, exactly, but I suppose that's what Persona V is for lol. x'D I'm glad they added in some 3-D models for your actual characters during the combat process. I guess I'm just spoiled by modern gaming, but I prefer having those. xP

I got the Wildcards Special Edition, but actually, I may not even open it, and may just buy a vanilla copy of the game later. xD I still haven't even played P4... I should really do that first... as soon as I finish this last month in P3P. >.<;

General / Video Game Box Protectors - Are These Any Good?
« on: October 30, 2014, 12:55:41 pm »
Slow week, so I thought I might ask a question. :)

Anyone have experience with these? They're cheap, and look nice, but I was just wanting to see if anyone would/would not recommend them. I have a few special editions and old NES boxes that really need to be properly stored.

Classic Video Games / The Game Gear - To Buy, or Not to Buy?
« on: October 21, 2014, 04:22:09 pm »
Any opinions?  :D

Since they're pretty cheap nowadays ($25 on Ebay, usually including some extras) I thought I might ask for some opinions. I like handhelds, but I wasn't sure if there are enough enjoyable games to really warrant the purchase. Not that I play my consoles much, but I always like to add random items to the collection on occasion. xD

Also, any problems to look for/ask about when purchasing? I believe the Nomad had sound issues, but I'm not so sure about the Game Gear.

I'd like to collect for the Neo Geo Color as well, but I thought that the Game Gear might be a more affordable addition for now (and in any case, I'm mostly working on my PSP/Vita/360 collection when I have a few spare bucks).

Hi all! So the title pretty much says it all! I bought a small lot of books on Ebay, and this Super Mario Bros. children's book was included. I already have a copy that I found at a garage sale, but since it was cheap, thought that I could trade it off for an item or two, or sell it.

The pictures below are from the original owner. I will post a link to a gallery with pictures of the entire item once it is in my possession this week. It looks to be of a generally good quality, but please keep in mind this is a used item. Again, I'll be posting further details about it's condition once it's in my hands, and pictures of the entire book.

(UPDATE: You can see pics here. The post below this one details condition: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ig8yg6t772e72/Mario_book  )





As for trades, I'm highly interested in collecting anything related to Shin Megami Tensei/Persona, Disgaea, Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and Fire Emblem. I like handheld gaming stuff as well, but I'd be open to considering just about any trade (unless it's handhelds, however, I don't generally collect for consoles older than the 360). Price wise, I'm looking to sell it for around $25, plus shipping.

If you're interested, feel free to reply here. And again, if you're interested in trading, feel free to make any offer. At the very least, I just like to see what people have in their collections. ^.^

(Also, if you want the other books, I'd be more than happy to include those. I don't have any use for them. xD  )

Hi all!

Just created an account the other day, and enjoying the site so far!

I went to a Gamestop today and picked up a couple PSP items, since they'll be phasing 'em out soon. Included in that was Queen: The Making of A Night At The Opera. But as you can see, it's technically categorized as UMD Music, even though it's a UMD 'movie.'  So I was wondering 1. If we needed the new category, and 2. How we would go about getting the category put into VGcollect's system.
