small inconvenience I'd say, Free webp file converters exist plus you can always print screen.

Hello everyone, I've been searching the web extensively and figured collection forums would be the best place where to ask. I'm looking for the PS2 version of Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice - Wikipedia claims it was unreleased, but there is very contrasting evidence online that I collected in this PDF file which you may view at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gVjMDIDFv8hdjhVSPkHaO2PFDfXJ6z_K/view?usp=sharing (it also contains extra information). Does anyone happen to own this game, or know anything else about it? If the game was indeed not released, maybe a demo or prototype has emerged somewhere? And for the record, I already tried contacting the developers but to no avail. Thanks in advance!

In the end, physical games may become more and more of a niche in the years to come, but I don't see Sony and/or Nintendo dropping discs/cards/whatever in the near future. Let's see...

PS4: I've essentially bought all my PS4 games as new releases since the console came out in 2013, or through various B2G1 or B2G2 sales at Gamestop and other game stores. I love the PS4, actually more than the PS3 now, however my collecting experience has more or less been fairly uninteresting compared to when I was scooping up PS2 or XBOX games for a few bucks each all over the place. There's also the big question mark about the longevity of these games and people's ability to continue to play them after their respective servers get shut down someday.
Switch: I've continually bought Switch games since it came out in 2017, but nearly every game I have for it has been from retail, mostly new. I love the Switch and some of the best games I've ever played are on it, but from a collecting standpoint, there's been nothing interesting or exciting about it for me.
Sorry to double post, but like I said, given how beat up the front is, IMO, the most likely explanation for the back sticker missing is that the previous owner just didn't take very good care of the game.
considering it's from amazon, If I had to guess they replaced the back for a nice one.
Most folks rather have a nice grey back than a discolored one with a shitty condition sticker. most folks would less likely return said cart than.
I'd imagine the original back was in rough shape considering what the front looked like.
Still I wouldn't really think to deeply in why the back label is removed. as long as the front lable and the board is legit nothing else really matters.
I read a site on how to tell if a SNES cartridge is authentic, and my copy of Link to the Past passes every one other than the back label and the board (I refuse to open up the cartridge). It has the product number code where the pin connector is, the game title on the label is clear, and the dot for the "i" in the Nintendo logo on the back is a square instead of a circle. And let's be real, it'd be hard to fake that kind of wear.
This is why you don't buy from sources where you don't get to see the copy they're sending. You're paying collector's price for a sub-par copy.
A quick glance at eBay and there are current listings of ALttP for better prices, with plenty of good pictures.
Sorry to double-post again, but I've had not so good experiences with EBay.
I bought a copy of Mega Man 7 there, and it was the most obvious repro I'd ever seen.

Question: Yes or no: shipping costs should be included with the agreed upon spending limit.
Choice 1: Yes. Shipping costs should be considered to be a part of the agreed upon spending limit. 50%
Choice 2: No. Shipping costs should not be considered to be a part of the agreed upon spending limit. 50%
Of the general questions my feedback form asked, this question was the only to receive 50-50 split results. So, there is clearly a divide among participants' opinions.
However, after the previous topic question about the budget which was discussed at some length, I don't know how pressing this issue is. At first, it seemed to be important, but the discussion about the budget has voiced a majority opinion that there should be no budget. So, if there is no budget, then the matter of shipping being included as part of it or not becomes irrelevant.
Nevertheless, I've introduced it as a matter to discuss. Whether you agree or disagree with the above question, why is that?
